Does the scholarship program require a study visa or a work visa since it involves working in a hospital setup and also provides an educational degree in Canada?

You will typically need a study permit for a scholarship program in Canada that combines hospital work with earning an educational degree. A study permit allows you to study at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and usually permits limited work or practical training as part of your course.

A work permit is for full-time employment not directly tied to formal education, so it is generally not suitable for this type of program.

If you need help confirming the exact visa requirements for your specific program, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
