How long does it take to apply for a study visa in Canada? These skills should be kept in mind.

How long does it take to apply for a study visa in Canada? Do you know how long in advance you should apply for a study visa? Let me give you a detailed introduction, hoping to give you some help.

When is the time to apply for a study visa in Canada?

According to the announcement of the Canadian Visa Center, after the materials are fully prepared and handed over to the Canadian Embassy, the trial time is about 15 working days. If the procedures are complete, it can be completed within the standard acceptance time.

How long does it take to study in Canada to produce results?

After the trial is completed, the result will generally be known, which is about 15-20 days.

note:

1. Applicants should fill in the application form correctly, prepare the application materials and accept the fees according to the requirements on the application form published on the website of Canada Visa Center, otherwise the visa processing time will be prolonged and the visa processing efficiency will be reduced. If you don't want your Canadian study visa to be extended by the consulate, please do it in strict accordance with the requirements.

2. Although the official processing cycle of Canadian student visas is 8 weeks, the processing cycle will be recalculated under the following circumstances: physical examination/re-examination, embassy investigation, supplementary documents (CAQ or guardianship), embassy interview, etc. There will be a delay of two months from the submission of supplementary materials to the final result. In order to avoid this situation, students and parents should choose the risk physical examination and prepare all the materials at the same time. Don't waste two months of examination time because of the painful medical examination fee 1450 yuan. In particular, many professional courses in universities start in September. If you miss the start in September, you will not start in June at 5438+ 10, which is equivalent to waiting for another year, which is not worth the candle!

3. The Canadian Visa Center has the latest requirements for student visas starting from September 20 13: For ordinary visa applications submitted after July 20 13, the Canadian Embassy requires students to provide proof that the school allows the extension of admission, and there is no clear stipulation on the extension time. (SPP/SDS visa application is not affected, and there is no need to submit a certificate of extension of admission. The current situation is mainly the ordinary visa submitted now, and the visa center cannot guarantee that the trial can be completed before September 1.

Students who don't receive the offer at the beginning of September should contact the school as soon as possible, get the offer as soon as possible or get the offer and postpone it to 20 14 1. On 20 12, the student was refused a visa because the offer expired. If you apply for direct admission to graduate school and haven't received an offer from any school, you should start to consider alternatives, such as choosing a pre-master course or a postgraduate certificate course.

4./kloc-Students who are over 0/8 years old and have worked or studied abroad for more than half a year are required to provide proof of no crime abroad (except students who have previously studied in Canada). For example, a student who studied in Britain for one year before and now studies for a bachelor's degree in Canada needs to provide proof that the student has no criminal record in Britain before submitting a Canadian student visa.

5. Canada's multiple-entry visa TRV returned students (holding a valid study permit, but the visa is about to expire or has expired), the validity period of the new visa applied for will not exceed the validity period of the current study permit. If a student is about to finish high school and has applied for university entrance, in this case, the student should submit an application for continuing study permit to the Canadian Immigration Bureau in advance, so that the validity period of obtaining a new study permit is about four years. At this time, the TRV visa application for returned overseas students will be submitted, and the visa is valid for about four years. However, if the current studypermit is only valid until September 30 this year, then the visa visa for TRV can only be given until September 30. In addition, the validity of the visa itself is limited by the validity of the passport, and the validity of the visa will not exceed the validity of the passport. At the same time, please note that the visa application fee for international students returning to Canada is charged according to TRV's multiple round trips, not the visa application fee when submitting a student visa for the first time.

A person who may be refused a visa

1. Applicants with financial difficulties

Many people wonder, I have money, why do you say that I have problems with my financial situation? Before we talk about this issue, we need to understand the logic of Canadian visa officers.

You know, Canadian visa officers have to deal with a large number of cases every day. When trying any case, they will think the applicant is the worst, for example, they think the applicant wants to stay and work as an illegal worker, and so on. Then the rationality of visa materials is the most powerful proof to dispel these concerns of visa officers.

Visa officers need to see an applicant with good assets, which are reflected in many factors such as bank flow, proof of legal source of funds, proof of real estate and so on. In some extreme cases, someone borrows money to open a certificate of deposit, but the bank is in a mess, which will naturally make the visa officer suspicious, so applicants with financial problems can easily be refused a visa.

2. Applicants with visa refusal records

Generally, when applying for a visa, the applicant is most afraid of refusing it. Once the visa is refused, it means that he has a history of refusal. People often think that it will be more difficult to apply for a visa after a history of visa refusal.

The history of visa refusal will indeed have an impact on the over-signing rate of the second launch to a certain extent, but it is not so terrible to have a history of visa refusal.

After applying for file transfer and finding out the reasons for refusal, the applicant can make qualitative changes to the application materials according to the reasons for refusal, and then resubmit them. However, due to the strong subjectivity of Canadian visa officers in visa processing, we have encountered many cases where the reasons for refusing visas have not been specified. At this time, blind submission will not do any good to the visa refusal.

3. Applicants with inverted academic qualifications

Applicants with inverted academic qualifications often apply for lower academic qualifications than the applicants themselves. This application method is unreasonable for visa officers. This is easy to understand.

For example, a master wants to go to another country for junior college for no reason. This application method is also unreasonable in logic. There is almost no possibility for such applicants to endorse when applying for a study visa.

4. Older applicants

For the concept of "older age" here, neither the Canadian Immigration Law nor the IRCC of the Immigration Bureau have clear requirements on the age of student visa applicants.

However, our years of application experience shows that the older the applicant, the higher the refusal rate. If the applicant's language is not very good and he is single, the probability of refusing the visa is almost 100%.

Skills of successful handling

1. Leave enough time to prepare the fund history.

When preparing for a visa to study in Canada, it is easy to see that sometimes students' families have strong financial ability, but they can't provide enough proof. For example, parents work in a friend's company and receive cash wages every month, so they can't provide tax bills, social security certificates and income certificates; In other words, there are many sources of family funds, most of which are used for investment rather than savings, and there is no real estate license.

It is best for the parents of the applicant to reserve enough time to prepare the information needed for the visa, and it is forbidden to suddenly deposit a large sum of money into the bank account before the visa is processed. Because Canadian visas need to provide a guarantee of 12 months, the injection of a large amount of funds in a short period of time requires students to explain the source of funds very hard, which brings unnecessary difficulty to the proof of funds; Secondly, it looks deliberate, as if it is specially prepared for visas.

2. IELTS score of 5.5 or above is relatively safe.

Students with good English scores are usually more likely to succeed in studying in Canada, so providing proof of language scores is very helpful for visas.

If the IELTS score is above 5.5, students can choose the SPP program and enter the guaranteed school; If IELTS reaches 6.0, you can pass SDS. These are all' green channels' for Canadian visas, and the visa pass rate is higher than that of ordinary visas.

3. It is easier to get a visa if you have the experience of studying and traveling in North America.

Since last year, a new policy for studying in Canada is that students who apply for a Canadian study visa can waive the deposit of 12 months as long as they hold a "North American entry and exit record" or an "American visa", which can simplify the income proof of investors, but they need to submit a one-year tuition receipt or a one-year tuition deposit certificate.

Having a successful study tour in North America or a history of traveling to developed countries is a reflection of the financial strength of students' families, which is more helpful for students to apply for a Canadian visa. "Especially for students who hold multiple round-trip tourist visas in Canada for more than ten years, the visa officer will think that the background of the students has been reviewed once and it is more credible."
