Immigration information
It's important to keep up to date with immigration information, and to apply for study permits as soon as possible.
| Study permit |
International students who will study in Canada for longer than six months must apply for a study permit. |
| Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) |
International students from some countries may also need a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) before coming to Canada, which can be applied for at the same time as the study permit. |
| Custodianship arrangements | Custodianship arrangements may be required for minors 17 years of age and older. An immigration officer may request one for your student. This is done on a case-by-case basis before entry into Canada. The legal age of majority in New Brunswick is 19 years or older. |
