As an international student in Canada, there may be times when you need to leave the country temporarily, such as for a vacation or to visit family. When you are ready to return to Canada, there are certain documents that you will need to present in order to be allowed to re-enter the country.
The first and most important document that you will need is a valid study permit. A study permit is a document issued by the Canadian government that allows you to study in Canada for a specific period of time. Without a valid study permit, you will not be allowed to re-enter Canada.
In addition to a valid study permit, you will also need a valid passport. Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond the date you plan to return to Canada. It’s important to make sure your passport is not expired, as it will be denied entry to Canada.
You may also need to present a valid visa, if you are coming from a country that requires one to enter Canada.
It’s also important to have proof of your enrollment as a student at a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada. This can be a letter from your school or a recent transcript.
You will also need to have enough money to support yourself during your stay in Canada.
Lastly, you may also be asked to provide other documents like a return or onward ticket and a letter from your school that confirms that you are in good standing and able to return to your studies.
In summary, to re-enter Canada as an international student, you will need to present a valid study permit, a valid passport, a valid visa (if required), proof of enrollment at a designated learning institution (DLI), enough money to support yourself during your stay in Canada and other documents like a return or onward ticket and a letter from your school that confirms that you are in good standing and able to return to your studies. It is important to make sure all the required documents are valid, up-to-date and with you when you plan to return to Canada to avoid any delays or complications with the re-entry process.
