Document issues we check before submission
The document review concentrates on the records that establish school eligibility, available funds and a credible study plan. The separate guides explain proof of funds and study permit refusal reasons in more detail.
Letter of Acceptance details
The institution, program, start date and tuition information must remain consistent across the application.
PAL, TAL or CAQ fit
The attestation document or exemption must match the applicant's current program and province.
Source and availability of funds
Bank records, sponsor evidence and large deposits need a clear source and an accessible structure.
Study history and purpose
The forms, Letter of Acceptance and written study purpose must tell the same educational and career story.
Eligibility requirements at a glance
The table summarizes the basic requirements. Exemptions and province-specific rules still depend on the applicant's exact program.
| Requirement | What the application must show | Typical evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Eligible school | Acceptance to a qualifying program at a designated learning institution. | Current Letter of Acceptance and DLI details. |
| Attestation document | A PAL, TAL or CAQ when required, or evidence of an applicable exemption. | Attestation document or exemption evidence. |
| Financial support | Funds for tuition, living expenses and transportation without relying on unauthorized work. | Bank records, sponsor documents and tuition evidence. |
| Temporary-residence assessment | A credible study purpose, admissibility and compliance with the conditions of temporary status. | Study plan, immigration history and supporting records. |
Medical examinations, police certificates and country-specific records may also apply. Applicants planning to work during studies should review the current international student work rules.
Study Permit Fees and Processing Times
Government charges are separate from tuition, medical examinations, translations and professional fees.
| Item | Amount (CAD) | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Study permit application | $150 | Per applicant. |
| Biometrics | $85 | Per person when required, subject to exemptions and family limits. |
Processing time depends on the application location, category and circumstances. Check the official IRCC processing-times tool and allow separate time for school documents and application preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a study permit application cost in 2026?
Mirzoyan Immigration Services charges a separate flat professional fee, quoted in writing for the agreed application scope. The IRCC study permit fee is $150.
Biometrics cost $85 per person when required, subject to exemptions and applicable family limits. Third-party services may have separate charges. Check the current government fee list before payment.
How long does a study permit take to process in 2026?
Study-permit processing time depends on the application category, location and circumstances. Use IRCC's current processing-times tool and allow separate time to prepare the required documents.
A published estimate is not a guaranteed decision date. Ask the school about its latest arrival or deferral requirements if timing is tight.
Do I need a Provincial Attestation Letter for my study permit?
Many study-permit applicants need a provincial or territorial attestation letter, but exemptions apply. Quebec has separate provincial requirements, including a CAQ where required.
Check the current PAL or TAL exemption list and Quebec rules for your exact program before submitting.
How much money do I need to show for a study permit?
Show funds for tuition, living expenses and transportation for yourself and accompanying family members without relying on work in Canada.
IRCC publishes living-expense amounts by application date and family size for applicants outside Quebec. Quebec has separate financial requirements. Use the table applicable when you apply.
What are the most common reasons a study permit is refused?
Study-permit refusals can involve inadequate funds, an unsupported study purpose or concerns that the applicant will not leave when required.
Read the actual refusal reasons before deciding whether a new application can address them. Misrepresentation can carry serious consequences. A refusal does not prove that one reason applies to every file.
Can I work with Mirzoyan Immigration Services from outside Toronto?
Yes. Mirzoyan Immigration Services serves clients across Canada and worldwide through secure video consultations. Clients who prefer to meet in person can book an in-person appointment. Service is available in English, Russian and Armenian.
