A global finance and professional-services hub, home to a large population of skilled professionals and business owners regularly exploring Canadian pathways as firms expand cross-border operations.

Study Permits & Student Pathways in New York

New York families frequently compare DLI options in Toronto and Montreal directly against East Coast US schools; the PGWP pathway is the main differentiator worth walking through early.

Study permit approval hinges on demonstrating genuine student intent, financial capacity, and ties to your home country — a Designated Learning Institution acceptance is the prerequisite, but strong preparation on these three areas is what prevents refusal. Mahyar Afzali, RCIC, works directly with clients throughout the process — from initial eligibility assessment through submission and follow-through — regardless of where in the US you're based.
