Before applying for a study permit at a Canadian visa office, you must first get a letter of acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI).
Once you have your acceptance letter, you can complete and submit an application for a study permit.
For a new study permit, you can apply:
• from your home country or another country where you are lawfully admitted, or
• in person or by mail at the Visa Application Centre in Los Angeles.
Also, you may be able to apply for a study permit from within Canada to attend a designated learning institution if you are a:
• minor child studying at the primary or secondary level;
• visiting or exchange student; or
• student who has completed a short-term course or program of study that is a pre-requisite for acceptance at a designated learning institution.
In some cases, you are allowed to study without a permit. For more information, see:

I wish you good luck.
