- Persons whose study permits were authorized by a visa office abroad were not issued at a port of entry.
- Family members of athletes on a Canadian-based team, media representatives, members of the clergy, or military personnel assigned to Canada.
A family member of a foreign national may apply for a study permit after entering Canada if they reside in Canada and:
- Hold a study permit
- Hold a work permit
- Hold a temporary resident permit issued that is valid for at least six months

A study permit is not required for:
- Completing a distance learning program
- Following audit courses (where a student is permitted to attend an academic course without obtaining credits)
- Taking courses included in tour packages as a secondary activity for tourists
- Taking a course that is not academic, professional or vocational and can be completed within the period authorized upon entry to Canada.
- Taking a course or a program of study which is six months or less that can be completed within the period approved upon entry into Canada.
When completing your application, you must follow the instructions for applying from outside Canada. Your application will be processed in the same amount of time it takes if you were to apply from your home country, and you cannot start studying until you receive your permit.
