Specific steps for new international students
1. Apply for a study permit
As a full-time international student, you must apply for a study permit before coming to Canada if your program of study is longer than six months in duration.
Most visiting international and exchange students who come to Mount Allison for one semester (less than six months) do not require a study permit.
Visit immigration information for full details on the steps to come to Canada to study.
