International students who are willing to study in Canada are required to get a Student Authorization Visa before going to Canada for studies. Students are recommended to have at least two months before the commencement of the study programs for the visa procedures to be processed. It is a general procedure that the overseas students heading for Canada for studies should submit the completed application kit to the immigration section of the Canadian High commission.
1) Completed Student Application,
2) Completed Supplementary Questionnaire for students and postdoctoral researchers,
3) Official letter of acceptance from Canadian university, college or technical Institute,
4) Certificate of Acceptance from the respective province,
5) TOEFL scores (if applicable),
6)Passport that is valid for at least one year from the planned date of entry to Canada along with valid passports of any accompanying dependants and Bank Draft towards the fee for the appropriate visa processing etc.
7) Adequate documentation to prove monetary resources available to them to pay tuition fees, maintain him or her and dependants who go to Canada and to pay return transportation costs without engaging in employment in Canada.
Students may be required to attend an interview regarding their visa requirements by the Visa officer. They are also required to go through a medical examination along with the dependants of the students (if any) going with them. Once the visa officer is satisfied that you are a 'bonafide' student and all statutory requirements are met, you will be issued a document, which must be shown to an immigration officer at the port of entry in Canada in order to obtain a student authorization. |
