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.
