Study permit for entry into Canada for admitted international students

International students who have received an offer of admission for study in Canada, must apply to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, in their home country, for a Study Permit prior to being granted entry into Canada. Admitted students should not leave for Canada until they have in their possession a Study Permit (IMM 1442) valid for study at the University of Waterloo, issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. To apply for a Study Permit, the University will issue a Letter of Acceptance (issued by Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs). Without these two documents, applicants cannot enrol at the University. Applicants should consult the appropriate Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada office abroad for instructions to apply for a Study Permit.
