Yes, students from Canada need a visa to study in France. International students intending to study in France for longer than 90 days have to apply for a French student visa. Courses shorter than 90 days do not need a visa for entry; still, extending the stay or working is not allowed. Degree programs or lengthy courses will need a Long-Stay Student Visa (VLS-TS), which functions as a residence permit and allows for part-time work. Applying involves signing up with Campus France, acceptance by a French school, and proof of funds, health coverage, and housing.
