Hear what our students have to say
Alongside my studies, I am working part-time as a Nurse Assistant at one of Toronto’s hospitals. This experience allows me to apply what I’ve learned in the classroom and gain real-world exposure to patient care. The work I do reminds me every day of the true meaning of humanity—offering compassion, understanding, and support when people need it most.
Passage supported me from financing my studies to staying in touch throughout school and helping me secure job offers. They even connected me with an immigration consultant to plan my next steps. They truly go beyond what I expected.
Passage provided the funding I needed to continue my career in healthcare. Their fast approval process and support, including budgeting tools, have been vital to my success. If Passage weren’t there, I wouldn’t be here today.

Passage focuses on unlocking global opportunities. Since we are a startup and immigration & study abroad are so impactful to people's lives, we wanted to start in one country to ensure that we can offer an incredible experience before we expand.
Yes, you can apply to multiple programs through Passage. However, we encourage you to focus on selecting the right program that fits with your goals and gives you the highest potential for success. Keep in mind that students typically receive funding and can apply for a study permit for only one program. Also, each program application has its own application fees. Therefore, we recommend dedicating your efforts to thoroughly researching and choosing the most suitable program rather than applying to several.

A Letter of Acceptance (LOA) is an official document issued by a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada. It confirms that a student has been accepted into a specific program of study at the institution and is required when applying for a Canadian study permit through IRCC. The LOA typically includes important details such as the name of the institution, the program of study, the level of study, the duration or start and end dates of the program, and any conditions attached to your acceptance. You can learn more here.
To be eligible to study in Canada, you must be accepted by a DLI, be able to pay for your tuition, living expenses and return transportation, have no criminal records, and be in good health. You can learn more by checking the relevant government of Canada's website.
You can start your loan application before you receive your Letter of Acceptance (LOA). That said, you will not be able to finish your loan application until you have received your LOA. You can check each program's requirements on app.passage.com.
Passage only charges you a school application fee on behalf of our partner schools.
