New College, New Study Permit — Apply With the Fee Waiver
Apply to a new Canadian college for CAD 0, and handle permit and PAL steps in order
First the Offer, Then the Permit and PAL
Moving to a new college in Canada often means you will need to sort out your study permit — and, in most 2026 cases, a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) — after you accept an offer. The important thing to understand is the order: you apply to the college first, and the waiver makes that step free. When Future Link submits your application to a participating institution during the offer period, the institution application fee is waived, so you can secure a genuine new-programme offer before spending on the permit stage.
Future Link Consultants is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC licence R506940). The waiver is a recruitment arrangement with 19 participating institutions across Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and Alberta. As an RCIC-authorised team, they can guide you through the study-permit and PAL steps that follow — while always confirming current requirements, since these rules change.
The Order of Events — Apply Free, Then Permit
| Stage | When it happens | What it costs |
|---|---|---|
| Apply to new college | During the offer period | CAD 0 — institution fee waived |
| Receive offer of admission | After the college assesses you | No fee to receive an offer |
| PAL / TAL | After you accept the offer | Handled per current provincial rules |
| New study permit / extension | After PAL, before you switch | Separate government fee |
PAL is required for most 2026 study permits and comes after you accept an offer. Permit and PAL requirements change — confirm current requirements with your Future Link counsellor.
Why Getting a Free Offer First Makes Sense
Applying free means you can line up a genuine new-programme offer without committing money to the application stage. Once you hold an offer, your counsellor helps you understand the PAL process and whether a new study permit or an extension is the right route for your circumstances. Because permit and PAL rules are among the most frequently updated parts of the system, the team confirms the current requirements for you rather than working from assumptions.
Since you are applying from within Canada, your file is handled by Future Link's Scarborough (Toronto) office, which knows the in-Canada document set. Mention on your call that you may need a new study permit or PAL so the sequence is planned properly from the start.
The waiver covers the institution application fee only. Tuition, tuition deposit, GIC, biometrics, the study-permit fee, PAL-related and third-party charges are separate and payable as normal. No admission, PAL or study-permit outcome is guaranteed — always confirm current permit and PAL requirements with your counsellor.
