If you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident of Canada, you will need a valid postsecondary study permit to attend Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ for longer than six months. Obtaining a study permit can take several months, so begin gathering your required documents as soon as you confirm your acceptance.
As part of the recent Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) changes, most initial study permit applications for studies at Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ will require a provincial attestation letter (PAL) from the province of New Brunswick.
