Please read my original post. There is no age limitation of any kind for study permits, regardless of whether the aim is to attend school at the postgraduate level (masters degree or PHD), undergraduate level (bachelors or associates degrees) or even a non-degree (diploma or certifcate) program. My personal case is the perfect example. I'm currently enrolled in a 60-credit (two-year) Diploma program (MIS) at Langara College. I'm a high school (grade 12) graduate but, prior to enrolling at Langara, had no other educational experience beyond the post-secondary level. Most significant to this discussion, I'm in my 50's and had absolutely no trouble getting my study permit.pakistani_lady said:so u ppl mean there is age limit if we have done 10th or 12th grade ?

Dear Needle Artist . Can you please advise, how you were able to convince the visa issuers, about your return after studies?NeedleArtist said:This information is incorrect. I'm a 51-year old retiree (I'm the guy Leon referred to in post #3, above) and am currently attending Langara College in Vancouver on a study permit. I'm enrolled in a 2-year Diploma program and have no prior post-secondary eduction. I recently changed to a Diploma with Co-op program. My wife (age 53) is accompanying me and has a spousal open work permit, and I recently applied for and received 2 work permits for 1) co-op, and 2) off-campus employment. Neither of us has used our work permits (except for the Co-op permit) but we wanted the option and flexibility "just-in-case".

your story is so inspiring! there shouldn't be any age restriction for study permit. indeed, one should be encouraged to study at any age if one can afford it and is motivated. I hope you enjoy your student lifeNeedleArtist said:This information is incorrect.
