Several organizations fund scholarships that enable international students to study or train in Canada. These sponsorships often confirm that students meet program criteria, including acceptance, institution, and language requirements. They may also indicate sufficient financial support, but students with dependents must show additional funds. Immigration officers may use discretion when reviewing documents, but must assess whether scholarships cover all expenses or only tuition. Students must ensure their scholarship includes adequate living expenses. Additional documentation may be required depending on the scholarship’s terms. Those receiving Global Affairs Canada scholarships are exempt from the provincial or territorial attestation letter (PAL or TAL) requirement. Study permit applicants must include an official scholarship letter to qualify for this exception. Additionally, scholarship recipients studying in Canada are eligible for a post-graduation work permit.
