GET YOUR STUDY PERMIT

Apply Study Permit Early

If you are admitted to Toronto Film School, you will need to obtain the proper visa to study full-time and live in Canada.

If you are not a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident, you must be approved for a study permit from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Depending on the country of your citizenship, you may also require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV, or ‘entry visa’). It may take several weeks or even months to be issued a study permit and/ or TRV.

Please apply for your study permit as soon as you receive your Toronto Film School Letter of Acceptance.
