Study permit
You need a provincial attestation letter (PAL) or territorial attestation letter (TAL) to apply for a study permit
Most students must include with their study permit application a PAL/TAL from the province or territory where they plan to study.
In most cases, if you apply without a PAL/TAL, your application will be returned with fees.
Learn more about the provincial attestation letter and territorial attestation letter.
