Study permit
The most reliable route to settling for good
Admission to a designated institution, a study permit, then a post-graduation work permit: the path most travelled by young Tunisians towards permanent residence.
Studying in Canada is not only an academic experience: it is the most reliable gateway to a Canadian life. A degree earned on the ground, first work experience and language fluency transform an immigration score. But you must first clear the study permit stage, where the refusal rate for Tunisian applicants remains high — almost always for the same avoidable reasons.
Baccalaureate holders aiming at a bachelor’s degree in a Canadian college or university
Tunisian bachelor’s graduates targeting a master’s or a graduate diploma
Professionals seeking a short, qualifying technical program
Francophone applicants targeting Québec or a francophone community outside Québec
Families wanting to accompany a student with a spousal work permit
Choosing program and institution
We target designated learning institutions whose programs qualify for the post-graduation work permit, weighing your real job prospects and your budget.

Filing under our representative number, biometrics, medical exam and responses to any additional requests.

Yes. Students enrolled full time at a designated institution may work off campus within the hourly limit set by IRCC during sessions, and full time during scheduled breaks. That income helps, but it never replaces the proof of funds required at filing.
