Canadian Student Visa 5 Steps for Sure Shot Success

• Canadian Student Visa 5 Steps for Sure Shot Success

At least a dozen myths surround the student visa and the study permits issued by IRCC . While some assert that a Canadian student visa denial is guaranteed if you have been rejected for any other visa in the past, others believe fervently that obtaining a Canadian student visa is merely a matter of luck. We do not believe either to be the case. Here are 5 tips that will help you obtain the Canadian student visa and the study permit with considerable ease given the current scenario of high visa denials:

Submit a Competitive Academic Profile

Canadian visa officers are well aware of the fact that while immigrating to Canada may not be your current priority, it will soon become one by the time you are well settled at your preferred Canadian university to pursue your academic qualification. Hence they prefer to grant student visas primarily to those students who possess a good academic record. Your academic scorecards, including your high school mark sheets, college transcripts, and your IELTS band do not have to be stellar. However, they should not be borderline either.

Pursue a Degree and not a Diploma at a top university in Canada

Here at Alphabet Education, we have never witnessed a visa denial for applicants planning to study at top flight Canadian universities such as the University of Toronto, University of British Columbia, University of Waterloo and other tier 1 universities. Canada is looking for quality international students and there are plenty of them around in the emerging economies like India, China and Brazil. Since IRCC receives student visa applications by the truckload, they can pick and choose whom to grant entry and whom to deny. If you are planning to pursue an academic qualification in Canada, consider enrolling for a degree, preferably a bachelor’s or master’s degree at a top Canadian university as opposed to a diploma or a certificate program from a no-namer college or university which is #2049 on the ranking list. What you will receive from IRCC is a student visa approval. The Study Permit will be issued to you at your Canadian Port of Entry.

Submit Genuine Financial Support Documents

Many Canadian visa officers were probably born at night but certainly not yesterday night. They will smell a rat even before the rat is ready to frolic. Therefore, submit financial support documents that are totally legitimate and genuine. In fact, it is a good idea to hire a chartered accountant and have him or her review your financial documents, verify their authenticity, validate their worthiness, and issue an optional signed certificate. IRCC knows full well that no sensible chartered accountant will put his or her reputation on the line not to mention his practice for a miniscule pot of gold which you may be keen, eager and willing to offer to him for the “favor.”

Follow Filing Instructions Carefully and submit a Flawless Application

Not everyone is an expert at figuring out student visa applications. They can be complex for some applicants. Therefore, it is a good idea to locate a qualified and reputable visa consulting service and ask them to prepare your Canada student visa dossier if you do not feel confident of filing it yourself. The Visa Success Team at Alphabet Education is standing by to extend a helping hand.

Speak in English during the Randomized Student Visa Interview

Expressing your patriotic sentiments and speaking in your native language is not the wisest thing to do during a random student visa interview for Canada. In fact, we recommend that you not use a single word from your native language during the student visa interview process. The medium of instruction in Canada, unless you are planning to study in Quebec, is English all the way and the Canadian visa officer would obviously want to know if you can handle an English centric classroom environment. Visa officers are also aware of the fact that, sometimes, non-qualified students can slip through the cracks when taking the IELTS through intensive practice and preparation. Canadian student visa interviews happen rarely but they cannot be ruled out.
