YOU HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED AS AN EXCHANGE STUDENT

How to obtain a visa

Once you received your letter of acceptance, you need to register on the plateforme Études en France. Registration is mandatory before applying for a visa. You will have to create a personal account and follow the instructions.

Who is concerned

All applicants who are not citizens of the European Union and who reside in Canada and wish to study in France for a period of more than 90 days which required a long-stay visa.

The applicant can apply for a visa after completing the electronic file on Etudes en France (EEF). Once the file is validated on EEF, the candidate can start the visa application process on the France Visas website and make an appointment at one of the 4 VFS centers in Canada.
