How to apply for studying in Canada at the age of 40? Is it easy to apply for studying in Canada?

In fact, there is no age limit for studying abroad, but it will be more difficult to apply for schools and visas after a certain age, so there is the term "older students", which generally refers to those who have worked for several years (usually more than three years) after graduating from college and are 28 years old and above, and are basically considered older students in the industry of studying abroad.

The Canadian Embassy believes that candidates who have graduated from undergraduate or junior college 1 year or above and have no continuing education background are older applicants.

How to apply for studying in Canada in your forties?

You can apply for studying in Canada at the age of 40. There is no age limit, mainly depending on whether the applicant meets the conditions for studying abroad.

Conditions for studying in Canada:

1, transcript, calculate GPA. High school graduates submit three-year high school grades, and undergraduate graduates submit four-year college grades. If the fresh graduates can't provide the results for the next semester when applying, they can submit them after the application is accepted.

2. Graduation certificate.

3, language transcripts, IELTS TOEFL must be within the validity period, if the transcript does not come out at the time of application, you can make it up later, if the language is unqualified or there is no language score, you can apply for language+professional double admission.

4, personal statement, special undergraduate majors will require the submission of PS, but graduate applications basically need PS.

5. Letter of recommendation, recommended by school teachers or professionals.

6. Other materials: GRE or GMAT scores, or art collections.

7. The cost of studying in Canada is sufficient. International students must have reliable financial resources and adequate financial security.

The requirements for the first application materials of each university will be slightly different. Students should carefully prepare materials according to the requirements of the university, translate them into English, and some of them need notarization.

Can't applicants over 40 apply for a Canadian student visa?

Actually, it is possible. It is more important to write a study plan. So, how to persuade visa officers to improve the visa pass rate?

This kind of people, when stating their study plans and goals, can't simply write like freshmen or school-age students studying abroad.

Young freshmen only need to know what school they want to study, how many years they want to study and what major they want to study, and then write a sentence or two. After studying in Canada, I will return to China for development after graduation. In short, they will definitely return to China in the future.

But for older students, especially older single applicants, divorced applicants, or older women, whether single, unmarried or divorced, at this time, in order to fulfill their ideals, they go to Canada to study junior college or undergraduate or master's degree. You need to convince the visa officer that you really want to improve your academic qualifications through this study abroad, so as to improve your research results in a certain professional field.

The study plan should state the contents, plans and goals of future study in a certain college or a certain professional field, write in more detail and make a complete study plan.

Of course, it won't be as detailed and professional as the research plan written when applying for a doctorate or a master's degree, but it should be displayed more and reasonably explain how the majors and institutions you study in Canada in the future are related to your past study and work experience.

In short, older applicants can improve the visa pass rate. The most important thing to convince visa officers is to write a clear study plan. Unlike freshmen and school-age students, the study plan should be convincing. Think about the thinking of visa officers from other places, and write logically. As long as you have logic, the next step at this time is authenticity, which can be more convincing.

What should international students in their forties pay attention to when applying for a visa?

1. The applied major is related to the major studied in China.

For "older" applicants, the Canadian student visa is mainly to examine your purpose and intention of studying abroad. Once the visa officer suspects that the applicant is using studying abroad as a springboard to achieve the purpose of immigration, the probability of refusing the visa is very high.

Therefore, when applying for a job, office workers have to highlight the places where they need to improve their ability in their previous work. Studying abroad is to meet the more difficult work in the future and explore the deeper fields of your major.

What needs special attention is that you must not choose a major casually, such as a major that has nothing to do with academic qualifications and work background. Because this will make the visa officer doubt your motivation to study abroad, which will lead to refusal.

2. Reasonable study plan

The visa officer will first consider whether the courses the applicant intends to study in Canada are in line with the courses he studied in China and his future career goals. Applicants must have a clear purpose of studying abroad and have an overall plan for their study abroad career, so that visa officers can believe that they will return to China once they finish their studies.

Applicants should have sufficient reasons to explain why they go to Canada instead of studying in China. Also explain why I will return to China immediately after finishing my studies and will not stay in Canada. This should be reflected in the applicant's study plan, which is the key to the success of student visa application and one of the important bases for visa officers to examine whether the applicant has immigration tendency.

3. Sufficient funds for studying abroad

Because it is an application for studying abroad at one's own expense, the applicant must provide proof that he has enough funds to pay the tuition and living expenses during his study in Canada, and will not work illegally, nor will he bring any burden and trouble to the Canadian government. If the applicant is not financially independent, he/she must provide proof of funds consistent with the income of his/her parents, spouse or other financial guarantors.

4. Reliable financial guarantee

There is no fixed amount of financial guarantee, which covers the study and living expenses of the applicant during his stay in Canada. In addition, it is usually necessary to provide a deposit history of 12 months or more. Its real purpose is to see whether the source of the security fund is reasonable and legal, whether it is consistent with family income and whether it has historical continuity. It is not a temporary emergency fund for studying abroad.

5. Sufficient reasons for returning to China

Applicants studying in Canada should produce enough evidence to show their enthusiasm for returning to the motherland and have no intention of staying in Canada, especially older applicants who have jobs. The visa officer should confirm that the applicant will not become an illegal immigrant in the future.
