  • Getting a Study Permit

    Every international student who plans to study in Canada for more than six months is required to get a study permit to study in Canada. Please check with the Canadian consulate/embassy closest to you as requirements may change and can differ from country to country.

    Please be sure to apply as early as possible for your Canadian study permit.

    You will also require a valid visa or Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) to enter Canada, which will be automatically issued when your study permit is approved. However, please note that if you extended or renewed an existing study permit before May 1, 2017, you may need to apply separately for an eTA.

    Get the right documents:

    If you plan to travel outside of Canada during the course of your studies, before your trip, always make sure that you have the proper, valid documents to re-enter the country. For more information, visit the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada website below:

Student Life

International Students, Christopher Taucar
Regis College is an incredible academic and faith filled community that fosters meaningful vocations. Through the constant direction of the professors at Regis I have been able to discover my love for theological bioethics. The theological education that I’m currently receiving is preparing me for a vocation in clinical ethics in a Canadian healthcare context.
