Is it possible to get a study visa for one year duration for Canada for a Diploma?
22 Jul 2026 · Answered by Abhishek Mehta · 1 min read
Yes, you can get a Canadian study permit for a one-year program, such as a Post-Graduate Diploma. The permit is usually valid for your program duration plus an extra 90 days, giving you time to prepare for departure or apply to extend your stay.
If you wish to study longer, you must apply for an extension before your current permit expires.
