How do Indian Students Go to Canada During the Pandemic?<\/span><\/h2>

It’s a complicated journey for Indian students heading to colleges in Canada, which costs much more than they usually think.<\/span><\/p>

Flying to Canada has become more protracted and more expensive due to the extension of the ban on direct flights from India.<\/span><\/p>

Ottawa recognizes Covishield, the Covid-19 vaccine taken by most Indians, but they must do the compulsory Corona Virus test before arriving in Canada in a third country.<\/span><\/p>

Issuing a visa takes more time due to rising travel demand, say, education consultants, helping more than a thousand students get admission in Canadian universities.<\/span><\/p>

The HCC (High Commission of Canada) in New Delhi acknowledged the negative effect of the pandemic on the processing time for study permits. The high commission says in this regard:<\/span><\/p>

“For study permit still in process, we cannot guarantee that students will receive a decision on their application or be able to go to Canada before the semester begins.<\/span><\/p>

This process cannot be expedited given the high volumes of passports we are currently receiving each week.”<\/span><\/p>

However, experts say it is not dampening the Indian students’ interest in Canada for higher education. One of the main attractions is perpetual residency offered to Indian students after getting some work experience.<\/span><\/p>

Canada is a dreamy educational destination for thousands of international students; however, there are several hurdles they need to clear before they travel.<\/span><\/p>

An essential one is the Canadian Student visa. Currently, Indian students traveling to Canada have to take third-country routes, which causes more expenses.<\/span><\/p>

Before applying for a Canadian visa, students should do some research. Here are a few essential points students should have before they apply for their visa:<\/span><\/p>

Canada Visa Requirements for Indians<\/span><\/h2>

Lockdown due to Covid-19 and travel restrictions have contributed to a considerable delay in visa processing for specific countries, which has disrupted students’ travel plans.<\/span><\/p>

Universities and consultants recommend that students who have received their Canadian student permits either usually or via SDS shouldn’t delay applying for their permits and visas.<\/span><\/p>

Here are common reasons for student visa rejection in the link below:<\/span><\/p>

Common Reasons for Student’s Visa Rejection<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>

University Acceptance Letter<\/span><\/h3>

The acceptance letter is a must-have requirement for the visa process. So the first step of the visa application process is to shortlist the top universities that suit a person’s profile and scores.<\/span><\/p>

It’s important to shortlist at least three different universities with several backup options.<\/span><\/p>

Tip: You can categorize universities into three categories, including Dream, Reach, and Safe. This method helps students sort through options and makes it easy to decide.<\/span><\/p>

However, before you apply to a Canadian university, make sure it is a DLI (Designated Learning Institution).<\/span><\/p>

Direct Study Stream<\/span><\/h3>

Department of Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada launched the Direct Study Stream (SDS) program.<\/span><\/p>

While the usual process of a student visa may take up to 2 to 3 months, the SDS program allows students from some countries, including India, to get their visa in 4 to 6 weeks or even less time.<\/span><\/p>
