How long does it take to apply for a study visa in Canada?

What should I pay attention to when applying for a study visa in Canada? If you want to successfully apply for a study visa in Canada, of course, you must know the relevant precautions before applying. I have received your signal. Let's see how to improve the pass rate of study visa in Canada.

First of all, we should know when it is appropriate to apply.

Canada study visa application cycle

It takes about 1 to 2 months for a school to apply for an offer, and some prestigious schools take longer. The average application period is 3-4 months, with senior high school 1-2 months and master's degree 4-6 months.

We suggest that the best preparation time for undergraduate students is the first half of the third year of high school and get IELTS or TOEFL scores. At the latest, you should start preparing in the first semester of freshman year. Because most schools don't need to provide college entrance examination results when they start to apply in the third year of high school, and the probability of finally applying to a good school is relatively high, but IELTS scores are still necessary. In addition, because the funding requirement for studying in Canada is increased by 12 months, you can generally start to understand and prepare funds before 1. It should be noted that the visa office requires a statement of the source of funds for 12 months, which does not mean that it should be deposited in 12 months. If the source of funds is clear, apply at least 6 months in advance. In addition, it should be noted that the application deadline of some prestigious schools is very early, so you need to prepare as early as possible if you want to apply. We advise parents to start planning for their children to study abroad at least 12- 18 months in advance.

The next step is the preparation of important visa materials.

Application guide

The choice of major has an impact on the visa.

Many people think that as long as the school confirms the admission of students, the visa officer will not care too much about the specific school. Actually this is a misunderstanding. The visa officer will not only carefully look at the situation here in the school, but also think. For example, your undergraduate major is e-commerce in China, but your major in Canada is chemistry. Then when the visa officer sees your information, he should think about it: is it good to study chemistry for e-commerce majors? Such people must never be sent to Canada. Therefore, there should be a more obvious "undertaking relationship" in the choice of majors.

Whether the amount of fund reserves in this period is appropriate.

People keep asking us about the guarantee funds for visas to Canada, or how much we need to prove to meet the standards for studying abroad. In fact, Canada does not clearly stipulate how much money must be reached. The amount of money that domestic intermediaries tell you is just a standard that they have explored based on their long-term work.

The essence of providing proof is to prove to the Canadian government that it can afford tuition and fees, living expenses and other expenses during studying in Canada. Generally speaking, Canada's supervision of funds is to "explain the capital history of 12 months". This does not mean that "a single large deposit has been deposited in 12 months". Many people think that it is wrong to deposit money in the bank 12 months before applying. In fact, as long as you can clearly explain the source and prove that the historical innocence cycle is correct, you don't need cash deposits. Demand, funds, wealth management products and dividend insurance can all be used as security funds.

The study plan must be reasonable and convincing.

The study abroad plan is mainly to state your purpose of studying abroad to the visa officer, and it is also important information for the visa officer to judge your purpose of studying abroad and whether you are inclined to emigrate. Under normal circumstances, visa officers in Canada will assume that all applicants for study visas have immigration purposes. All study plans have become important materials to avoid "immigration purposes".

In addition, visa officers should be made to understand that they have a clear understanding of Canada's education system, schools and majors, and have a clear purpose and study hard. Visa officers generally like "good boys" who are self-motivated. What is easy to make mistakes in the study plan is not the perceptual part of talking about ideas and looking forward to the future, but the place involving factual arguments. The facts must be completely consistent with the various materials submitted at the time of application, and there can be no discrepancy. Once there is any discrepancy, it may be judged as "untrue materials" and directly refused.

Language ability should be improved as much as possible.

In the visa for studying abroad, there are also languages that affect the judgment of visa officers. Proficiency in English and French is particularly important when studying in Canada. If you can't pass the language barrier, normal communication will be difficult, so what about learning? Moreover, in the Canadian study visa, the older the applicant is, the more the visa officer values the language. Generally speaking, for studying in Canada, IELTS 5.5 or above is better. If IELTS reaches 6.0, the visa officer's praise for you will increase obviously, and the probability of passing the customs will also increase greatly. Of course, super-high language ability is not a mandatory requirement, but a "bonus item" that is conducive to visa clearance.
