Are you an ambitious international student dreaming of studying in Canada? Then you’ll need to apply for a study permit, and there’s great news! Exciting changes to the process have been made, including updates to the Student Direct Stream (SDS) for expedited processing in 2024. These changes were implemented to uphold the integrity of Canada’s esteemed international student program. Get ready to embark on an unforgettable academic journey in a welcoming and diverse country!
To apply for a study permit through the SDS program, you’ll need to follow a few steps. First, make sure you’re eligible for the SDS program. If you’re from one of the following countries, you may be able to fast-track your study permit application:
- Antigua and Barbuda
- Brazil
- China
- Colombia
- Costa Rica
- India
- Morocco
- Pakistan
- Peru
- Philippines
- Senegal
- Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
- Trinidad and Tobago
- Vietnam
Next, apply to a Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI) and wait to see if you’re given a Letter of Acceptance (LOA). DLIs are the only schools in Canada that can admit international students. Once you have your LOA, gather the necessary documents, including a copy of your LOA, proof of your language test results, and proof of your ability to cover your tuition and travel expenses.
You’ll also need to obtain a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) of $20,635 CAD. A GIC is an investment product that will guarantee a rate of return for the term of your investment. You’ll need to open one of these accounts to prove that you have the financial means to support yourself while studying in Canada.
Once you have all of your documents, you can submit your application to the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). If your application is approved, you’ll be issued a letter of introduction and a temporary resident visa or Electronic Travel Authorization to enter Canada.
With your study permit in hand, you can start your journey as an international student in Canada and enjoy all the new experiences that await you!
