The Chamber of Commerce Brazil-Canada (CCBC) hosted Canada Day 2024, aimed at providing opportunities for young Brazilians
who wish to do an exchange program, study, and explore the Canadian job market. The event featured representatives from the
Consulate General of Canada in Brazil, who highlighted the efficiency of visa processing, allowing students to begin their studies in
the country.
During the event, experts from various universities and educational institutions in Canada shared information and provided
clarifications for students, offering a comprehensive view of the available opportunities.
Canada leads the list of the most sought-after destinations by Brazilians for studying abroad. According to the 2023 Belta Survey
released by the Brazilian Association of Exchange Agencies, the number of Brazilian students seeking to study abroad grew by 18%
in 2022 compared to the pre-pandemic period. This is because the region offers excellent quality of life, safety, and academic options,
as well as work opportunities during and after studies, and the possibility of obtaining permanent residency in Canada.
For those who are thinking about studying in Canada, it is essential to pay attention to the registration deadlines offered by the
institutions and to prepare the documentation, such as sending transcripts, English test results and necessary proof of income. The
institutions present at the event highlighted the importance of starting the application process in advance, as soon as each university
opens its applications.
Furthermore, to obtain a student visa for Canada it is necessary to follow a series of steps after receiving the acceptance letter from
the educational institution and the scholarship. There are different types of visa, each suited to specific situations: the SX-1, for shortterm courses (up to 24 weeks), which requires an acceptance letter; the V-1, a tourist visa that can also be used for courses of up to
24 weeks; and the S-1 Study Permit, required for courses longer than 24 weeks.
To speed up the process, it is recommended to seek help from an exchange agency that offers guidance and support during all
stages. In addition to the acceptance letter, you must have a passport valid for at least six months, demonstrate family ties in your
country of origin, prove your financial capacity to support yourself in Canada during the study period and send all the necessary
documentation, detailing your plans. For courses lasting more than six months, a medical examination is also required.
