What is the process after getting the visa, and what steps do I need to follow next in Canada?
After your Canadian study permit (visa) is approved, here’s what you need to do next:
1. Receive your Port of Entry (POE) Letter of Introduction - this confirms your study permit approval. Bring it when you travel.
2. Prepare for travel - book your flight and gather all key documents: POE Letter, valid passport, Letter of Acceptance, proof of funds, and any other required papers.
3. Arrive in Canada - present your documents to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer at the airport.
4. Get your study permit issued - the CBSA officer will review your documents and issue your actual study permit.
5. Settle in Canada - arrange accommodation, attend orientation, register at your institution, and get familiar with local services.
