The UK is an attractive destination for work, studies or just a good holiday.   The UK’s vibrant economy and society has attracted workers, students and migrants from around the world for generations, and we are keen to be the destination of choice for Canadians, skilled workers, young people seeking new experiences and students.

There are a number of visa categories that allow you to work or study in the UK.  Although Canadian nationals are entitled to visit the UK, and to study there for short periods, without a visa, most people who want to work or study in the UK will require a visa of some kind.

We can not tell you what visa is best for you – only you can know what your intentions, needs and circumstances are.  The information below may help you make your decision, and contains links to more detailed information about each category.
