How to apply for Canada study permit from Pakistan step by step?
Answer: From Pakistan: get a DLI acceptance → arrange funds (often including GIC) → complete IRCC study permit forms → biometrics/medicals as required → wait for a decision. Confirm whether your intake needs a provincial attestation letter (PAL). IRCC decides; SK Immigration prepares the file.
Step-by-step
- Shortlist DLIs that fit your marks, budget and career goal.
- Receive acceptance and note conditions (deposit, start date).
- Check PAL / provincial rules for your intake on IRCC.
- Arrange proof of funds — see funds guide and requirements.
- Create IRCC account and complete the study permit application accurately.
- Biometrics and medical exam if requested.
- Submit & track; respond to any additional document requests quickly.
- Travel only after you have the required approvals/port-of-entry documents.

If refused
Do not reapply blindly. Follow refusal next steps and fix the exact IRCC reasons.
Official sources to verify
Rules change by nationality and intake. Always confirm on government pages before you pay fees. Browse all country official links.
Program choice and refusal risk
IRCC looks at whether your program is a logical next step. A sudden jump into an unrelated expensive diploma after unrelated work history needs a strong, honest explanation — or a better-fitting program.
Using representatives
If SK Immigration or another consultant helps, complete IRCC representative forms correctly. Never let someone submit fake employment or bank letters in your name — that can mean bans, not just refusals.
Arrival planning
Carry acceptance letter, proof of funds, and any port-of-entry documents IRCC lists. Keep digital and paper copies. Register for classes on time so your permit conditions stay valid.
GIC and bank coordination
If you use a GIC, follow the bank’s student package steps and keep confirmation letters for IRCC. Combine GIC with tuition payment proof and any remaining living-cost evidence your checklist requires. Do not liquidate the GIC early against IRCC rules.
Parents wiring funds should keep SWIFT copies and relationship documents ready. SK Immigration reviews the money trail before submission so the SOP and bank story match.
