Can a Zimbabwe Citizen Study in Canada?
by: Sharon - Expats Guide

Hi Nyasha

Thanks for your mail.

First I must emphasize that I am not an immigration officer.

As to your question - Yes, your daughter can study in Canada.

However before applying for a student visa she must be accepted as a student by a Canadian education institution.

Information for students educated abroad applying for admission to Canadian universities and colleges can be found in here.

If English is not your daughter's first language then she might need to take the IELTS - International English Language Testing System examination to be accepted as a student at the university. You should check this directly with the educational institution.

If The IELTS is necessary and if you wish to prepare thoroughly for the IELTS exam you can use the IETLS test study guide. This excellent guide will teach you step by step how to pass successfully the IELTS test.

Only after her acceptance as a student at the University she can apply for a student visa.

Instructions about how Zimbabwe citizens can apply for a Canadian student visa and a temporary resident visa can be found in here.

Important tip: The government of Canada does not pay for the medical costs of foreign students. Health coverage for foreign students varies between provinces. Contact the school at which you are applying to receive more information about medical coverage and health insurance.

You can start by consulting the following expatriates health insurance companies:

Global Medical Insurance.

MultiNational Underwriters .

Good Luck
Sharon
