After paying the initial fees for the first semester, will I have to pay the next semester fees again before my visa? What is the payment schedule for subsequent semesters?

You only need to pay the first semester's tuition fees before your Canadian study permit (visa) application if you are applying through the non-SDS route. For the Study Direct Stream (SDS), you must pay the full first-year tuition fees upfront.

For subsequent semesters, you will pay tuition according to your university's schedule - usually before each new term begins. Payment deadlines and amounts are set by your university and are typically due before classes start each semester.

If you need help understanding your payment schedule, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
