New Canada Visa changes for international students.
As a top study-abroad destination, Canada has made several changes to its study permit application system to accommodate international students facing some complications.
Below
is everything you need to know about the changes to study permits in Canada due
to the pandemic.
1. Designated learning institutions
(DLIs)
To
apply for a study permit as an international student, the Canadian university
you’re attending must now be a designated learning institution. DLIs are
institutions recognized by the Canadian government for having a sufficient
quarantine plan in place to safely host international student arrivals.
Many
universities have been approved as DLIs and you can check if your university is
on the list using the search tool from the Canadian government 👉https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/coronavirus-covid19/students/approved-dli.html
2. Two-step system for remote
learners
Canadian
visa application centres around the world have had to close or limit the
services they offer because of local lockdowns, making it harder than usual for
international students to gather all the documents they need. You can use this
search tool to find your nearest Canadian visa application centre (VAC) and
find out which services it is currently offering.👇 https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/offices/find-visa-application-centre.html
In
response to this, Canada’s visa process has been adapted into a two-step system
to allow students to begin their studies remotely without having to submit all
the forms usually required for a full study permit.
In
step-one of the new system, all study permit applicants must still submit the
following:
- Letter of acceptance from DLI in Canada
- Proof of funds
- Proof of eligibility for a study permit aside from documents unavailable due to Covid-19.
- If studying in Quebec, students must also submit a Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ)
- However, students can now submit study permit applications without the following documents:
- Biometrics
- Original travel documents
- Medical exam
- Police certificate
If
a study permit application is submitted without these documents but would
otherwise be deemed eligible, it will be “approved in principle”. While you
can’t enter Canada with this outcome, you will be authorized to begin studying
in a Canadian university course via distance learning from your home country
and still be eligible to receive your post graduate work permit whether or not
you complete your study in your home country.
Previously
you had to have a fully approved study permit to begin your course, even
remotely.
Step-two
of the process can begin once you obtain and submit the remaining documents
missing from your application, after which you should receive a letter to say
your study permit has been fully approved.
Once
this is obtained, you will be able to travel to Canada and activate your study
permit when you enter the country, as long as the university you’re travelling
to is a registered DLI.
As a result of these efforts by immigration authorities in Canada, nearly 200 study permit holders from India were granted study permits as they moved to study at public post-secondary institutions in Canada during the 2016-2017 academic years.Read more about study permits at study abroad consultants in Chandigarh.

ReplyDeleteYour post was very informative for me as I travel frequently, thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteI recently carried out my visa processes with Traveldocs for my trip to Canada. While I was researching to get a visa from the Netherlands to Canada, I came across this company and completed my Canada visa application process without any problems. I recommend Traveldocs to those who will apply for an Canadian visa, their communication was very good and the process went quickly and accurately.
Hello, as an international student it is important to follow visa regulations in countries like Canada. Changes, adjustments to application procedures or updates to eligibility criteria may affect the management of students. I am thinking about education from Turkey to Canada and this article was a guide. Educational opportunities in Turkey are also diverse. There are accommodation options for students in Istanbul's Hagia Sophia and Sultanahmet. International students considering Istanbul for education should do their research. Thanks again for your informative article!
