Students must have a valid Student Authorization and current medical insurance to attend classes at Capilano College. Copies of the valid documents must be submitted to the International Student Centre or registration at Capilano College could be cancelled.

Students can only apply for a visa outside of Canada.
Even if the SA is valid when the student leaves Canada, most students are required to get a new visa to enter Canada unless they have multiple entry. When visiting the United States a visa is not required for re-entry to Canada, assuming the SA is valid.
