• Student Visa

   A visa is needed by all international students who wish to study for longer than three months in Canada . Students must apply for a Student Authorization at a Canadian embassy or consulate before they leave for Canada. Authorization usually takes from 1 to 3 months to process.  It is important that you plan ahead.

   To apply for a Student Visa, you will need:   

   1. A current passport

   2. An official Letter of Acceptance from Cornerstone Academic College

   3. Proof of sufficient funds for living expenses

   4. In some countries, a medical examination is needed

    Please note: Full payment must be received one month before a Letter of Acceptance will be sent to you.

• Visitor’s Visa   

   When international travelers arrive at Pearson International Airport in Toronto , they are given a Port of Entry stamp on their passports. As a visitor, you are permitted to stay for six months.

   Students from countries participating in the Working Holiday Visa program are eligible to study full-time or part-time at Cornerstone Academic College for up to 3 months. Application for Working Holiday Visa can be made at Canadian consulates or embassies in participating countries.

   Visa extensions are given to eligible students on an individual basis upon successful completion of their programmes. Each applicant must meet with a CAC counselor for consideration.    

• Other Visas   

   If you wish to travel to other countries when in Canada including the USA , you will need the visa regulations that apply to you. You can get these by contacting the embassy or consulate of the corresponding country before you depart from your own country.
