• The Canadian government offers all Indian students the chance to study there, but they must first secure a study permit before travelling there.

Students must have both a study permit and a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) in order to enter Canada. Students need a study permit to enrol in school in Canada, but they also need a TRV to enter the country.

The student may submit an application for a study visa through the Association of Canadian Community Colleges’ Student Direct Stream (SDS) and General category as well as the Canadian Immigration Programs in Chandigarh and New Delhi. The student must have an unconditional offer letter from one of the institutions or colleges covered by this programme in order to be eligible for a study permit application under the SDS.

China, Morocco, Pakistan, The Philippines, Senegal, and Vietnam are currently eligible for SDS. The processing of student visas takes at least 15 days.
