What are the new changes in Canada's study visa?

The super-strict guarantee requirements for Canadian primary and secondary school study visas have changed.

The latest Canadian visa policy is very good news for parents who want to send their children to primary or secondary schools in Canada. After the release of the new policy in April, students studying in primary and secondary schools in Canada can apply for the "Primary and Secondary School Program", that is, they can apply for a visa by purchasing GIC of 10000 Canadian dollars as long as they provide the formal admission notice of Canadian primary and secondary schools when applying for a visa. At the same time, they need to go through the necessary physical examination, pay the tuition fee for the first year, and do not need to provide at least 12 months of accumulated historical funds, which can greatly reduce the complexity of the materials to be submitted and improve the chances of obtaining a visa.

The language requirements for applying for SDS learning implantation program have become higher.

Compared with before, this year we got a study permit-learning through train.

(SDS) Applicants need to submit proof of English language proficiency. In addition to the requirement of IELTS total score of 6.0, the requirement of IELTS event score is increased, that is, the event score is not less than 6.0. You can apply for this visa program after obtaining a valid admission notice from the admission/registration office of a designated learning institution in Canada, holding a GIC purchase certificate of 10000 Canadian dollars and a copy of the first-year tuition receipt, and having a physical examination.

Other types of visa application requirements have not changed significantly.

Plan to participate in the tertiary courses of the higher education application scheme.

GIC applicants are usually advised to submit proof of language proficiency in English and French, such as TOEFL, IELTS and French assessment test, after holding a valid admission notice from the admission/registration office of a designated learning institution in Canada, so as to improve the admission rate. You also need to issue a purchase certificate of GIC 10000 Canadian dollars, provide a copy of the receipt of the first year tuition fee, and conduct relevant physical examination.

Applicants participating in the general student program are required to provide the following materials:

1.

A copy of the course admission notice from the Admissions/Registration Office of the designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada or a copy of the course admission notice issued by the Admissions/Registration Office of the provincial public and private primary and secondary education institutions.

2. It must be proved that there are enough funds to pay for the expenses needed during the study in Canada, and provide supporting materials that can reflect the accumulation history of funds for at least 12 months.

3. Statement of study plan: According to the applicant's academic, technical or professional background, describe the applicant's study plan and future career goals.

In addition, it is reported that in the future, we will also apply for Student Partners, an international student cooperation project between China and Canada.

The program (SPP) may be cancelled. Compared with the previous SPP plan, the new SPP plan requires that the first year tuition payment receipt or the first study plan must be provided, instead of the original choice of paying the first year tuition or providing sufficient proof of funds, and the study plan must be submitted at the same time. More importantly, the new SPP has raised the requirements for applicants' IELTS scores. In addition to a total score of more than 5.5, it is also required that the individual score be not less than 5.0.

In addition, it is necessary to popularize GIC (Guaranteed Investment Certificate).

The main function of GIC is to prove that you have the financial ability to support your study in Canada.

As mentioned in the above-mentioned primary and secondary schools' application for a Canadian visa, SDS study implantation program, higher education application program and SPP China-Canada international student cooperation program, it is necessary to prepare in advance 10.

GIC shows that you can afford the living expenses for the first year.

After applying for a visa, GIC's funds will be returned to the students in 5-6 times within 1 year, each time about1.600-2,000 Canadian dollars, and the interest is equivalent to that of general demand deposits. If the visa is rejected, you can apply for a one-time refund of GIC funds.

In addition, the banks that can handle GIC in China are:

Bank of China (Canada)

Royal Bank of Canada Beijing Office

Bank of Montreal (China) Limited

Scotiabank-Contact any cooperative bank in China (China Everbright Bank, Xi Bank and Bank of Beijing).

In addition, in addition to some new changes in Canadian visa materials in April, from July 3 1 2065438, if you apply for Canadian visas in Europe, the Middle East and South Africa, you need to provide biological information (photos, fingerprints). Closely related to overseas students in China, if they apply for Canadian visas in Asia, the Asia-Pacific region and the United States, the start time of biological information collection is 20 18 12 3 1. Whether traveling to Canada, visiting relatives or studying abroad, this new measure is very meaningful. The validity period of collected biological information is 10 year. More than 10 years, the relevant information must be updated when applying again.

It should be noted that at present, only four visa centers in Chinese mainland can provide biometric information collection services, while visa application centers in Chengdu, Hangzhou, Jinan, Kunming, Nanjing, Shenyang and Wuhan cannot provide this service. This means that visa applicants must go to the above four cities or Hong Kong for face-to-face visa.

The fee for applying for a new visa (including fingerprints) is 85 Canadian dollars (about 425 yuan) for a single person; Family (two or more people)

Yes 170 Canadian dollars (about RMB 850 yuan); The maximum fee for a group of three or more people is 255 Canadian dollars (about 1275.00 yuan); Note: this fee only includes visa service fee, excluding photocopying fee, photo fee and other services. In addition, if you are already in Canada or your visa is still valid, you don't need to collect biometric information first, but you need it after your visa expires.

A Canadian visa can be said to be a "golden key" to start a new life. Studying in Canada needs to be reminded that you can start preparing your visa application after you get the offer. May of each year is usually the peak of visa application in Canada, and the processing time of different visa types is different. Physical examination and other preparatory work must prepare all materials in advance.
