A guide to study visa of Canada

Obtaining a study permit of Canada is a quick and easy method to get Canadian Immigration. If you are thinking to apply for a study permit for Canada, you have to read following steps for submission of appication for study permit in Canada.

First of all you have to obtain study permit forms in your country of origin at the Canadian Embassy, High Commission or Canadian Education Centre. The application for a student visa is also available online at cic website


http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/student.asp


Necessary documentation for student visas canada:
It is critical that students submit all necessary documentation along with their applications of study permit to Canada. Missing documentation will cause delay the approval process of canadian student visa.

The documents listed below are generally needed bearing your application, local requirements may also apply for study permit in Canada.

1. Proof of identity:
This includes photocopies of a valid passport two recent passport-size photos (2" x 2.5") for each family member, with the date of birth and full name written on the backside of each photo.

2. Proof of financial support:
You have to prove that you have enough funds to fulfill your tuition and living costs in Canada. The living costs in Canada are approx $10,000 CDN (extra funds are required if there are other family members going with you).
You can prove your financial position by showing your own bank statements for the past four to six months, a Canadian bank account or a bank draft in convertible currency, or proof of payment of tuition and residence fees. (Tip: $10,000 CDN in addition to tuition fees per academic year are normally viewed as enough)

3. Medical examination:
Medical exams are necessary if your stay in Canada as a student is longer than six months and you come from a country with far above the ground health risks. The processing of medical will add quite a few weeks to the time essential to obtain a study permit. In rare cases, you may require a medical examination although your course is less than six months in duration.

4. Acceptance letter by an approved educational institution:
You have to add a proof of an acceptance letter from a recognized institute of Canada. The following information ought to be included in letter of acceptance:
· Name of the student.
· Date of Birth of the student.
· Mailing address of student.
· The course in which the student has been enrolled.
· The estimated duration of the course.
· Date on which the course begins.
· Last date on which the student must register for the course.
· The academic year which the student will be entering.
· Whether the course is full or part-time.
· Tuition fee.
· Any conditions of acceptance.
· Clear classification of the educational institution.
· Licensing information (In case private institutions)

This letter has to be signed by an official representative of the institution.

5. A proof of custodianship in Canada:
If you are a minor (less than 18 years of age), you must provide a notarized statement signed by your parents or legal guardian in the country of your origin in addition to a notarized statement signed by the guardian in Canada stating that sufficient preparations have been made for the guardian in Canada to act on behalf of a parent in times of urgent situation, for instance when medical attention is required.
Once you have finished the application forms and have collected the necessary documentation for student visa canada, go on to the visa office nearby you and submit the required information along with a fee of student visa canada.

After evaluation of your study visa application, a visa officer must be convince that you meet the requirements of the Canadian Immigration Act and Regulations and that your intension to get a student visa canada is just for study and live in Canada temporarily.

Once the visa officer is contented that you are a genuine student and all legal requirements are met, you will be issued a document which is required to be shown to an immigration officer at the port of entry in Canada in order to get a study permit there.

As your study permit will usually be valid for the period of your course, please make sure that your passport is also valid for that same period of time.

Do i need my own bank statement for Canada Student Visa?

Anonymous said...

Not Really!
You can attach the bank statements of your parents with an affidavit"Sponser Letter" on a stamp paper that they would be funding yew.

Its better to pay the fees to university of 2 semesters in advance!

Anonymous said...

can i send them my parents "Salary Certificate" plus a "Sponser Letter" stating that my parents will provide me with CAD$833 every month.

Anonymous said...

i have got the admission. i contacted the university regarding the payment of fee and they said you have to pay 1 semester fee not 2 semester, so i did infact the letter which they sent me was asking me to pay 1 semester fee.

Hi,

I've recently been admitted to the MBA program at the University of Toronto .

In order to obtain the study permit from the Candadian consulate in India, would it be possible to submit TOEFL scores in lieu of IELTS ?

I've given TOEFL and have 119 on 120(ibt); I havnt given IELTS, and would like to avoid doing so, if I can help it.

Would really appreciate some feedback on this. Thanks !

Hi All,

For a Canadian study permit, is it acceptable to submit a TOEFL score in lieu of an IELTS score ?

As stated in the earlier post, I have a high TOEFL ibt score (119/120), and would like to know whether this would be enough.

no mostly they dont its just the Canadian high commission who ask for the police certificate. But officers at the airport has all the rights to ask for what ever he wants. without his clearance you cannot step out of the airport.

Hi Renju

You can also submit your TOEFL score for student visa at Canadian High Commission in New Delhi, India if the college/university accepts the TOEFL score. Though I am not an expert.

I applied for my visa on the 29th June through the embassy in Abu Dhabi. I was told on the 3rd August that I have to get a medical test. The embassy soon after sent me the medical papers and I got the test done and posted on the 11th August. The lady at the embassy told me it should take around a week to obtain my visa after that point. I've already had to cancel my flight on the 17th, and my next flight is tomorrow night. Any ideas when I'll recieve my visa?

Also, there was no re-submitting passports involved, the embassy just sent me the medical papers to get cleared.

@ naveed, it's 99.9999% impossible that you'll be in Canada by 2nd Sept. It takes 2 weeks after your IELTS that it's result arrives.

Anonymous said...

Did you resubmit your passport after you had gone for your medicals? The normal process is that you have to resubmit your passport after your medicals are done, and if everything is ok, after taking decision the canadian high commission will stamp visa on your passport.

if you have queries you can contact Canadian High Commission and get clarified all the things. Best of Luck.

I never got my passport back for my medicals, the embassy just sent me the forms through DHL. I contacted the embassy, they said they can't speak on the matter of my visa on the phone and I should e-mail them. I didn't get a reply once I e-mailed.

For the funds to pay concordia uni. fees and living expenses. (she showed Canadian 5000$ and her sister she is in canada with Pemanent Residence status showed 10,000 CAD $ for her sister's Tution fees and she will stay with her sister)

She got two rejection points in the rejection letter;

1. You have not satisfied me that you have adequate funds available to you to pay for your tuition and living expenses while in Canada and to return to your country of residence as required by R220.


2. they said that "you have similar program of study in pakistan and they are not satisfied that she is going only for study"

what you recommed her to clear these 2 rejection points, and when should she re-apply the case?

Hi, I've got a question... I am a 30-something EU-citizen who has been accepted by a prestigious culinary school in Canada as I am reschooling myself to become a pastry chef. I need to apply for a student visa the next few weeks but have become quite shocked by some of the posts I have been reading why student visas are refused. In the student visa application one can mention if your common-law partner or husband will accompany you to Canada during the study period. Of course I would like my partner beside me during those 7 months of training when I am all alone there but I am afraid the Consular Office will consider this a red flag and refuse the application. My partner has proposed not to accompany me if this might improve my chances of getting a student visa. FYI: it is not my intention to stay in Canada but how can you prove that in an application??? All feedback will be very much appreciated.

I would like to ask about the proof of financial support. How about if your relatives in canada will be the one to support the student. Is it possible that the bank statement account of the relatives will be passed.

Jaskirat Singh Khehra said...

hello everyone,
I have seen most of the questions regarding no sound from embassy after medical.I had same experience in the last month ,but everything gone in favor.Please read next.
1.)I think go for medicals before you submit the application in embassy,it saves a lot time.The next very important thing is that embassy people are very busy during May-July.So student application which usually takes 15 days as stated by embassy website, now taking approx. 30-35 WORKING DAYS.So dont panic and hope for best after 30-35 WORKING DAYS.I repeat WORKING DAYS.
2.)People can go with the Toefl Score(above 80) as well,If university's initial requirement includes Toefl etc.Minimum ILETS (6.5)
3.)Don't get any mistake with the forms.Fill forms yourself rather from any consultancy, because they charge heavy but forms are really very simple.Consultancy people have to fill hundreds of forms every day so they do not pay much attention to your forms spells.
4.)Bank Loan is not compulsory but is recommended.So dont think if you didnot have any bank loan then u are going to be refused.Show old bank accounts of your sponsoring agency i.e parents,uncle. This show your dealing with bank and your relationship with bank rather showing a heap of money in account.
5.)Give affidavit of support for any issue you want to validate or you want to notify which is true to your knowledge best.Don't misrepresent the facts.Well!this is crime.
6.)Keep in Mind->They are there to Grant you visa and not to refuse you.Go +vely and truely.
happy to help ur queries regarding study field esp.and i am not a representative of any consultancy.
Sincerely,
Your friend.

Hi, I am a Pakistani male student currently doing my B.Com. I got an acceptance letter from a community college. My IELTS score is 6.5 and it was acceptable. I have paid my tuition for the first 2 semesters, my class starts on September 7, 2010. My parents are funding my education from Pakistan and I will be staying with my cousin in Toronto. I applied for my Students Visa on June 12, 2010, but have not heard anything as yet. Do you think I will get an answer in time for the September semester?

Anonymous said...

I was refused a student visa twice. Reasons: Do not demonstrate tie to my country, show no activities gap and course can be done at a lower cost. for God sake!, why is it a problem that you want to study abroad, spend your money to get a better education that ones country could not give. Imagine, was refused twice, they didn't even go through my file which had letters and evidence demonstrating the ties i have with my country and what i did when i left secondary school. I think, the embassy should close and return to their country if they are not ready to issue visa to people that have provided them with all the required evidence, rather than refusing people because they can.

Hi
I am happy to find this site! :O)
thanks.
I want to apply for immigration and also student visa? somehow I prefer to 1st apply for immigration and then try to get a PhD position in Canadian universities, do you think applying for immigration 1st may make problems for my student visa if I get admission? for example they may say I can't apply for student visa as my immigration file is open?

thanks for your kind attention

Hi,
I am Gurdeep Singh,i applied for my student visa on 12th july and got refused. the reason on the refusal letter was that

your proposed studies are not reasonable in light of one or more of: your qualification,previous study, employment level of establishment,other education opportunities available in india or canada, language ability or future prospect or plans


I got 7.5 band in ielts,
I have done bca with 84%
I am working as a web developer
I got admission in humber college in Enterprise Software Solutions.


I can't understand what they want. I want to reapply plz let me know


Q1-what new documents should I add in my application to defend my self.

I applied under SPP and i can't apply for the same session under SPP . My consultant said that i can apply in general case . But I have a doubt that they require more funds in General cases of student visa.

Q2-I want to know should i apply in general case . this semester or should i wait for the next session.


Q3-Is applying in general session safe this semester?

Dear Anonymous,
IELTS GT is not acceptable for student visa. You must do IELTS Academic in order to get student visa of Canada

Comrade said...

Dear Anonymous,
There is no problem in your plan because immigration and student visa are dissimilar categories and you may apply for both.

hi guys..uhm.i applied for a students visa and waited already for 2 months i guess and no improvement or news regaring my application..
i asked the visa office how long will it take to receive the results of my application bec. i'm supposed to have an orientaion soon and i probably won't be able to attend, plus the school is starting on september....they said that they can finalize it only if they already received my medical results from london..but i haven;t taken any medical examination yet, how are they supposed to get my medical results?..

Q1:Will they be the one to notify me when to take it, or am i supposed to be the one to schedule it?
Q2:how long will it take me to wait for the results of the medical examination?
Q3:Also, Will my resevation in the school will not be removed if i did not attend the orientation and/or not be there when the intended date im supposed to be ther has passed?.
aaah.i kow i need patience, but it sure is taking more time than what they said in different websites..anyonw with similar experience??any reply pleeease.
