Do I need to have completed studies at a post-secondary institution to apply for a start-up visa?

No, you do not need to have completed a program at a post-secondary institution to apply. To meet the education requirements, you need to demonstrate only that you were a student in good standing for at least one year at a post-secondary institution.
