DETERMINE YOUR ELIGIBLITY

All study destinations have specific eligibility criteria for students. In order to study in Canada, one must fulfil the following criteria:
• You must have been accepted by a designated learning institution in Canada.
• You must prove that you have sufficient funds to pay for your tuition fees and for your living expenses.
• You must be a law-abiding citizen with no criminal record and not be a risk to the security of Canada. You may have to provide a police certificate.
• You must be in good health and willing to give a medical examination.
English requirements: If you are not a native English language speaker, only certain tests you can take that will be accepted by the Canadian government. There are varying minimum requirements for each education level, sometimes these requirements higher for certain courses.

APPLY FOR THE SELECTED COURSE

Once you have decided with the course of your choice, we will help you complete the application to the institution. For application regarding admission, you need to provide us several documents including previous academic qualifications and valid English language test. Don’t worry, we will provide you the checklist for the country you have chosen for visa application. By submitting the application through us you will be able to track the progress of your application as we will send you automatic notifications.

SUBMIT TUITIONS FEE

To accept your offer from an education provider, you must pay the tuition fee as advised by the institution. You can choose to pay this fee through either Telegraphic Transfer (TT) or Direct Debit (DD). Our value added service department can help you arrange either of these payment methods. Once the institutions have received and processed your tuition fee payment, they will issue receipt. This receipt will be needed to lodge your visa application.

UNDERTAKE MEDICAL EXAMINATION

After submitting your application for admission, you will need to undertake a medical examination by one of the doctors approved by the Canadian Government. A list of the approved panel doctors can be found by visiting the Canadian Government website.

SUBMIT PROOF OF FUNDS

Provide evidence of purchase of a special Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) from a participating Canadian financial institution [currently it is only Scotia bank], for the amount of $10,000 CAD towards the first year living expenses and evidence of payment for of first year’s tuition fee OR as an alternate option, students can meet the financial requirement by submitting a copy of the receipt for the first year’s tuition fee payment AND a copy of an educational Loan from an Indian Chartered Bank equivalent to $10,000 CAD.

APPLY FOR VISA

In Canada, a student visa is known as a Study Permit. To lodge your visa application you will need to provide the documents outlined in the checklist we provided you earlier. Just like your admission application, we will keep you updated as to the progress of your application and take the hard work out of tracking your application by keeping in contact with the visa office on your behalf.

VISA OUTCOME

We will notify you as soon as we know the outcome of your visa application so you can come in and collect your passport. In most cases this is a positive response and it means you can also start planning your travel and accommodation for Canada.
