If the government that issued your passport or travel document requires a re-entry permit, you must get one before you apply for a Canadian visa. Other documents may also be required.

もし、パスポートまたは旅行証明の発行元の政府が再入国証を要求する場合は、カナダビザを申請する前にそれを取得していなければなりません。その他の書類が必要になる場合もあります。

1. Proof of acceptance　入学許可書

If you plan to attend any school (primary or secondary), college, university or other educational institution in Canada, the school must complete and send you a letter of acceptance. You must include the original letter with your study permit application. See a sample standard letter of acceptance (PDF, 75.45 KB).
もし学校（小～高）、大学、カレッジ、その他の教育機関に通学する予定がある場合、学校は入学許可書を発行してあなたに送らなければなりません。学生ビザの申請にその原本を一緒に提出しなければなりません。サンプルはこちら： standard letter of acceptance (PDF, 75.45 KB)

2. Proof of identity　身分証明書

You must provide:　

提出しなければならないもの：

• A valid passport or travel document for you and each accompanying family member. The passport or travel document must allow you to return to the country that issued it. Citizens of the United States do not need a passport. However, you must carry proper identification that proves your citizenship or permanent residence.
  あなた、そのほかに一緒に来る家族の有効なパスポートまたは旅行書類です。パスポートまたは旅行書類は、あなたが発行したその国に戻ってくることを認めるものでなければなりません。アメリカ国籍の方は、パスポートは必要ありませんが、あなたがアメリカ国籍・永住者であることを証明できる適切な書類（carry proper identification ）を提示して頂く必要があります。
• Two recent passport-size photos of you and each accompanying family member. The name and date of birth of the person should be written on the back of each photo.

3. Proof of financial support

You must prove that you can support yourself and the family members who accompany you while you are in Canada. You can prove that you have sufficient funds to support yourself in Canada by showing some of the following:

• proof of a Canadian bank account in your name if money has been transferred to Canada;
• proof of a student/education loan from a financial institution;
• your bank statements for the past four months;
• a bank draft in convertible currency;
• proof of payment of tuition and accommodation fees;
• a letter from the person or institution providing you with money; and
• proof of funding paid from within Canada if you have a scholarship or are in a Canadian-funded educational program.

The following table shows the minimum amounts that you will need.

Number of persons	All provinces except Quebec	Quebec
Single student	Tuition plus $10,000 for a 12-month period (or $833 per month)	Tuition plus $11,000 for a 12-month period (or $917 per month)

If there are foreign-exchange control measures in your country, you must provide proof that the exchange control authorities will allow you to export funds for all of your expenses.

4. Letter of explanation

In some cases, you may wish to apply for a study permit even if you do not need one right away. There are benefits to having a study permit, even if you do not require one. If you have a valid study permit, you can:

• work part time on campus at the college or university at which you are registered as a full-time student; and
• apply to renew your study permit from within Canada, if you decide to continue studying in Canada.

If you decide that you want to continue your studies in another program after you complete your short-term course or program, you must apply through a Canadian visa office outside Canada for a study permit if you do not already have one.

If you are applying for a study permit even though you do not need one, you should include a letter that explains why you are applying. The letter will inform the visa officer that you understand your options. For example, the letter might say:

“Dear Visa Officer,
I would like a study permit for my eight-week English course because I would like to apply to a Canadian-university program after I finish the English course.”
