Foreign Students

Students from overseas who wish to study in Canada will require a student visa for the duration of their stay.

If you live in Belgium, Switzerland or France, you must mail or fax your visa application to the Canadian Embassy in Paris.

35 avenue Montaigne
75008 Paris, France
Fax: 01 44 43 29 93

You will need to indicate that you wish to study at a flight school in Quebec. Upon request, the Embassy’s Immigration Service will send you a student visa application form. You will need to complete the form and submit it with supporting documents, including the following:

•Letter of acceptance from the school (issued once your application to the school has been processed)
•Two photos
•A valid passport
•Proof of sufficient funds to cover tuition and living expenses for the duration of your training program

For full details about visa requirements, contact your nearest Canadian Embassy.

Administrative fees are approximately $200, and you should allow approximately four weeks for the processing of your visa.

If you live elsewhere, contact the nearest Canadian Embassy. The steps involved in obtaining your visa will be essentially the same. You may need to pass a medical examination conducted by a Transport Canada-approved medical examiner, and supporting documents may also be required.
