NIWE Academy proudly welcomes students from around the world — and our program structure makes it easier than you might think to study in Canada.
Visitor Visa (Programs under 6 months) Most of NIWE’s programs are under 6 months, meaning international students can enroll using a standard Visitor Visa — no Study Permit required. This significantly reduces paperwork, cost, and wait time.
Study Permit (Programs 6 months or longer) For programs of 6 months or more, a Canadian Study Permit is required. Our Admissions team can guide you through the process.
English Language Proficiency An IELTS Band score of 6.0 or equivalent is required.
Limited Spots Available NIWE currently accepts up to 5 international students at a time — ensuring every international student receives dedicated support throughout their program. Spots fill quickly; contact our Admissions team early to secure your place.
