Canada Study Visa Consultants

There are two major streams of Canada Study Visa:

1.Student Direct Stream (SDS)

The Student Direct Stream (SDS) is a program designed by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that provides a streamlined application process for students from certain countries applying for a Canadian study permit.

Currently, students from India, Vietnam, China, the Philippines, Peru, Pakistan, Senegal, Columbia, Morocco, and Costa Rica can apply through the SDS.

The processing time through this stream is 20 days (time frames vary periodically).

The success rates are higher.

Shorter processing times.

2.Non-SDS:

Non-SDS Canada refers to a program in Canadian education services for international students.

Non-SDS applies to all students in the country who want to pursue education in Canada.

The processing time through this stream is 6 - 8 weeks (time frames vary periodically).

Lengthy processing times.

The key differences between Canada’s study visa - SDS and Non-SDS are listed below:

A Canada Study Visa and a Canada Study Permit are often confused, but they are different. A Canada Study Visa is an official document stamped on your passport demonstrating that you have met the requirements to be admitted as a temporary resident in Canada. It does not authorize you to study or work in Canada.

On the other hand, a Study Permit is a document issued by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) that allows a foreign national to study in Canada for a limited time. However, the Study Permit is not a visa, it doesn't allow you to enter Canada. Students need to apply for both to enter and study in Canada.

Compared to other countries, the cost of education in Canada is generally more affordable. The cost of tuition fees in Canada can vary based on the course, institution, and province chosen.

Condominiums or Dormitories (On Campus)

Dormitories and condominiums are types of residences provided by universities or colleges either on the campus or close to it. While dormitories typically house multiple students and are relatively large, condominiums are usually smaller, standalone apartments designed to accommodate between three to five students.

Shared Apartments (Off-Campus)

Apartments shared off-campus are comparable to townhouses. You have the option to reside alone or with multiple roommates. Though you will have your room, the lounge, kitchen, bathroom, and dining areas will be communal.

Apartment on rent

These private accommodations are well-furnished. You can reserve one of these apartments online before arriving in Canada.

Homestay/Townhouses

Students who wish to experience living with a family often choose homestays. This option provides a private room and three meals per day. It also offers an opportunity to better understand Canadian culture.

If you want to extend your study permit in Canada, you need to apply for a study permit extension. This should be done 30 days before your current permit expires. If your permit expires while the extension is being processed, you can stay in Canada under ‘implied status’ until a decision is made. You will need to leave Canada if your extension is refused.
