About This Course

Canada's study permit framework is one of the highest-volume practice areas for RCICs, yet the rules around eligibility, documentation, and refusals continue to evolve. This live webinar cuts through the complexity with a case-based walkthrough of the entire application lifecycle.

We cover the complete process from initial eligibility screening through to the client's first day of study, including the documents IRCC scrutinises most, how to build a strong Letter of Explanation, and how to respond when an application is refused or flagged for additional processing.

Bring your toughest client scenarios — the final 30 minutes are reserved for live Q&A.

What You'll Learn

✓ Identify which applicants require a study permit and which are exempt under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations
✓ Conduct a thorough pre-assessment covering financial sufficiency, ties to home country, and inadmissibility flags
✓ Prepare a complete, well-organised application package using current IRCC checklists
✓ Draft a compelling Letter of Explanation tailored to a client's specific risk profile
✓ Advise clients on study permit conditions, Co-op/work authorisation, and the pathway to a PGWP
✓ Identify and respond to common refusal reasons and procedural fairness letters

How long do I have access to the course?

Your access will expire in one year after purchase. Once you purchase a course, you can return to the course page and watch the video as many times as you like during this period.
