Applying for a Student Visa

The first step required before you can train in Canada is to obtain a student visa from a Canadian Embassy in the country you are located. Before applying for the visa however you must be as prepared as possible. Some of the requirements to obtaining a student visa are proof of funding to complete the flight training program (including accomodations), a letter of acceptance from our school for the desired program indicating the duration and cost, also they will require proof that you intend to return to your home country upon completion of your studies. Tradewinds Flight Centre is more than happy to help you obtain your student visa. While we have no direct influence over the process we are more than able to help you prepare all the necessary documents so that you can apply for your visa correctly the first time.

Accommodations

There are a variety of accommodations available in the Charlottetown area. We are able to arrange accomodations for you in housekeeping units located across from the school. Some students also board with local families as an alternative to staying on there own. Charlottetown is a very safe small city (population 40 000) which is easy to navigate around and does have a bus system. Large grocery stores insure that students are able to find groceries that suit their dietary needs.
