Step 1: The first and most important step in applying for a study visa in Canada is to confirm the type of visa you want to apply for.

Canadian general study visa

Submission form: written form or electronic form (at present, written form is the main form)

Visa analysis:

It is difficult to get a visa in Canada, especially a guarantee. The funding requirements for official visas need to be more than 12 months before submission. In addition, the amount of guarantee money needs to match the study abroad plan and parents' income. In addition, because Canada is an immigrant country, a reasonable study plan is also very important. Therefore, it is suggested that students and parents should not blindly submit visas without knowing the specific requirements of visas, so as not to affect the overall study plan in the future because of refusal.

Processing cycle: 1.5-2 months or so.
