Canada study permit cap for 2027: what Rajasthan & Punjab students should know
IRCC has announced its allocation for next year. Here is how the provincial attestation letter (PAL) affects your application.
Canada continues to manage the number of new study permits through a national cap and a provincial attestation letter (PAL) requirement for most college and undergraduate programs.
Masters and PhD students at public institutions remain exempt from the PAL requirement, which makes postgraduate programs a strong option for graduates.
Our advice: apply early, keep your funds documentation clean, and choose programs aligned with your previous education. Book a free counselling session to check your profile.
