Yes, Canadian students need a visa to study in Norway. International students planning to study in Norway for more than 90 days will need a student residence permit. If the program is shorter, Canadians may not need a visa because of the Schengen visa-waiver program. Still, students in formal academic courses should confirm the exact needs with Norwegian immigration (UDI). The student residence permit covers full-time study and lets students work up to 20 hours a week during school semesters.
