Thank you for your interest in our programs.

At Canadian Career Education College (Can College), we proudly welcome professionals and lifelong learners from across the globe. We want to ensure that your enrollment process is as smooth as possible while remaining fully compliant with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) regulations.

Because our Short Study and Continuing Professional Development (CPD) programs are highly focused and designed to be completed quickly, they fall under specific immigration exemptions.

Please review the following guidelines carefully before responding:

1. The 6-Month Study Exemption

Under Canadian immigration regulations, foreign nationals are permitted to enroll in short-term educational programs that last less than six months without needing a formal Canadian Study Permit.

Because all of our Short Study and CPD micro-credentials are designed to be completed well within this timeframe, a Study Permit is not required to enrol.

2. How You Can Complete Your Studies

Option A: Studying Online from Your Home Country

• No Visa Required: If you are completing your program entirely online via our distance learning platform from outside of Canada, you do not need a Canadian visa, eTA, or study permit of any kind.

Option B: Studying In-Person (Visiting Canada)

• Visitor Status is Sufficient: If you plan to travel to Canada to complete an in-class module (e.g., at our Vaughan Campus) or you are currently in Canada as a visitor, you may legally study in these short-term programs.

• Travel Requirements: You will still need the appropriate travel authorization (such as a Temporary Resident Visa, Visitor Visa, or an eTA) to legally enter and remain in Canada for the duration of your stay.

3. Important Exemptions and Restrictions

While the short-term nature of these programs offers incredible flexibility, it is vital to understand what these programs do not provide:

• No Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL): Because a study permit is not required, applicants to these programs do not need, and will not be issued, a Provincial Attestation Letter.

• Not Eligible for the PGWP: Completion of these short-term CPD or micro-credential certificates does not qualify international students for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) in Canada. These programs are designed purely for immediate skill upgrading and professional development.

4. Applicant Responsibility

Can College provides this information as a general guideline. It is the sole responsibility of the applicant to ensure that their current visa, eTA, or visitor status allows for short-term study within Canada and that they maintain legal status at all times.

Immigration Inquiry Notice For any additional immigration assessments or specific inquiries regarding your legal status in Canada, please consult directly with your legal service provider or an authorized immigration professional. Canadian Career Education College does not provide personalized immigration advice.
