Do I need a study permit?

Students require a Study Permit to pursue studies for a period greater than six months in Canada. Citizens of some countries will also require a Temporary Resident Visa (Entry Visa) to enter the country. To obtain further information, applicants should contact the Canadian Embassy or High Commission that serves their country.

The time required to obtain these documents is often extensive. Applicants are encouraged to apply early in the fall of the previous year for admission in the following year in order to have sufficient time for language testing and immigration requirements. The Queen's University International Centre (QUIC) can serve as a resource in this matter.

Your Study Permit serves as an employment authorization for work as a Teaching or Research Assistant. Funds earned in Canada are taxed and international students are required to file an income tax return annually.  Please check with Financial Services at Queen's once you accept a teaching or research assistantship for full taxation data

For processing times for applications made in Canada, visit Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

Does Queen’s School of Business provide funding to their graduate students?

Full-time students who enter the MSc program in September, 2011, will receive a minimum of $12,000.

The majority of our graduate students receive additional funding through fellowships, award and bursaries.

As an International Student, will I be considered for additional scholarships?

All applicants to the MSc program whose application is complete and accepted before March 1 are automatically considered for University fellowships.  While many of these fellowships are restricted to Canadian citizens or landed immigrants, a few support only international students and some are open to all regardless of citizenship or immigration status.

Where can I find out more about these additional scholarships, awards and bursaries?

Throughout the year, the QSB program office will send out calls for many internal awards and fellowships.   Students are also encouraged to visit the following site on an on-going basis to monitor various opportunities that may arise.  The Student Awards Office is a resource for international students who have questions concerning the availability of scholarships, bursaries, and awards during their time of study at Queen's University.
