Student Direct Stream
The Student Direct Stream (SDS) is an Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) program aiming to speed up the Student Permit application process for students coming from specific countries.
Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)
International students may be eligible for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP) if they graduated from LaSalle College, a designated learning institution (DLI), and want to stay in Canada temporarily to work.
Apply for a Québec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ)
CAQ is the acronym for “Québec Acceptance Certificate” in French. You will need it to study at LaSalle College.
Since this process can take up to 12 weeks, we strongly recommend you to begin this process immediately. If you already have your CAQ but it is expired, you must reapply and get a new one.
However, note that the Ministère de l'Immigration, de la Francisation et de l'Intégration is committed to processing applications for temporary selection for studies within 20 working days.
How can I obtain a CAQ?
Once the College receives your application and your initial payment, we will send you an official acceptance letter. At this time, you will be able to start your CAQ process.
Steps
- Go to the Ministère de l'Immigration, Francisation et Intégration website to apply online for a temporary selection for studies.
- The fees to open and assess your CAQ file is $128 CAD. The payment must be made by credit card.
- You must provide a photocopy of your passport clearly showing your name, photo, expiry date and passport signature.
- You must provide the original copy of your acceptance letter.
- Although you have not provided proof of health insurance, Immigration Québec strongly recommends that you be insured. By attending LaSalle College, you will automatically be enrolled in a health insurance plan.
For any additional information about required documents or how to get prepared for your application, refer to the gouvernement du Québec website.
Apply for a Study Permit
The study permit is mandatory to study in Canada.
Once you have received your CAQ, you can begin the process for obtaining a study permit (visa). Generally, you must apply for a study permit before you come to Canada.
You need these documents to apply for a study permit:
- attestation of issuance of your Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ)
- proof of acceptance
- a provincial attestation letter from the province or territory where you plan to study
- proof of identity
- proof of financial support
You may also need:
- a letter of explanation
- a medical exam
- a custodian declaration (minors only), or
- other documents
Refer to this comprehensive guide to make your study permit application.
If your application is accepted, you’ll get your study permit at the port of entry when you arrive in Canada. Until then, you will receive a letter of introduction that says you’re allowed to study in Canada. You need to bring this letter with you and show it to a border services officer when you arrive in Canada.
