Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Incomplete Proof of Funds: Not showing the required amount in a Canadian bank (GIC) or using unofficial transactions.
  • Weak SOP: Generic essays without personal connection or failing to explain study gaps.
  • Late Medical or Biometrics: Delaying medical appointments, causing processing delays.
  • Missing Documents: Forgetting to upload key documents like academic transcripts, work letters, or digital photo.
  • Inconsistent Info: Discrepancies between application form and supporting documents.

FAQs: Student Visa to Canada

You must show proof of one year’s tuition (typically CAD 16,000+), a CAD 10,500 GIC (Guaranteed Investment Certificate), and supporting funds for living expenses. More is always better if available.
Yes! Study gaps up to 5 years can be accepted if you provide valid reasons (like work experience) and explain it clearly in your SOP.
SDS (Student Direct Stream) is a faster visa process for students from countries like Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and others. Requirements: IELTS (6.0+), GIC, paid tuition, upfront medical, and all documents.
Under SDS, approvals can take as little as 4–7 weeks after biometrics. Processing times can change, but well-prepared files are prioritized.
