Immigration Pathways
For visits less than 120 days (<17 weeks)
Visiting research students may come to Canada under visitor status for which a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) will be required, depending on the country of citizenship.
However, we encourage visiting research students to apply for a study permit or work permit if there is a possibility of extending their stay in Canada — having a valid study or work permit can make the extension process easier.
For visits more than 120 days (>17 weeks)
Students are required to apply for a work permit. Please contact intl_advising@sfu.ca for assistance with the application process.
