Canada has been named as the most educated country in the world. It is home to top universities and colleges and has also been accredited with the best public education. McGill university, University of British Columbia, the university of Toronto to name a few are ranked as the top 100 institutes in the world.

In order to obtain a student visa/study permit, students must meet the requirements as suited of the immigration Acts and Regulations of Canada. As an immigration consultant, we help finding the ideal choice of college/ university for the students to apply to, who once get the acceptance letter from the respective university will be needed to generate all the documents necessary in the visa process.

Degree levels at international universities are defined as Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral. Some universities also offer diploma and certificate courses, for each of these an English proficiency test needs to be taken either through IELTS or TOEFL. Scores generally vary for each college or university. For an SDS category, also known as student direct stream, students can expect a faster processing time of less than 45 days as compared to 60 days for a non SDS category. It is based on the student’s priority especially in terms of time which we will assist in selecting for them the right approach to obtain a study visa.

Requirements For Sds Canada For An Expedited Study Visa Are:

  • Acceptance letter from a Designated learning institution in Canada.
  • An official letter from the DLI confirming payment for the first-year tuition fees.
  • The required medical examination report.
  • Either a proof of graduation from a Canadian high school or a language test with a minimum score of 6 in each category of IELTS.

Additionally, there are few important pointers that need to be kept in mind before applying for study visa in Canada. Students need to pay the fees as soon as possible as getting accepted for a course does not confirm their seat. Since the seats get filled fast, students need to reserve the seat by paying the tuition fees via wire transfer/fly wire/ CIBC etc once they receive the letter of acceptance. If the student is taking an education loan, it needs to be from an acceptable financial institution.
