Visa processes usually include strict deadlines, multiple eligibility tests, qualifications and documentations. You must be meticulous with all your documents as even the tiniest error could get your application rejected (oh no need help here!) 

Ok start reading and see what you need to do for Canada Student Visa Application.

1. Choose the Right Visa

Firstly, it is necessary that you do your research to understand which visa you will be eligible for. As an international student, you will be given only a non-immigrant visa as you will stay in the country only as long as your study programme lasts. While you can work during your study period, it is imperative that you obtain a work permit before you start working.

There are specific rules and limitations for each visa. That is why it is extremely important for you to be aware of what exactly your visa offers you. 

• Study duration less than 6 months: TRV visa
• Study duration more than 6 months: Student visa

2. Check Your Eligibility

Firstly, you will need an acceptance letter from a Canadian Education Institution (DLI) containing all the necessary details including:

• The programme you are applying 
• Your tuition fee
• Letterhead of the institutions

In addition to this:

• You must submit a criminal history record document 
• Submit photocopies of your immigration status in Canada and other countries
