Country guide
Coverage: 47 schools and 47 campuses published so far. Research is substantial for this country but not exhaustive.
Terminology: Grades; Quebec uses its own secondary-level names.
Country notes reviewed 17 October 2026.
As published by IRCC on 2026-10-17: the age of majority is set by each province or territory (18 in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec and Saskatchewan; 19 in the other provinces and territories listed). Minors under 17 must travel with a parent or legal guardian or have a custodian in Canada who is a citizen or permanent resident; for those 17 and older a custodian is optional but may be requested. The Custodianship Declaration (IMM 5646) is sent with the study permit application, signed by the custodian (notarized in Canada) and by the parents or legal guardians (notarized in their home country). Check the official page before applying. official source
IRCC states that a study permit allows foreign nationals to study at designated learning institutions in Canada and that applicants should apply before travelling. Which documents and exemptions apply to a minor depends on the case; use the IRCC study permit pages rather than a school's summary. official source
