Visa Procedure - Canada

 
To apply for a student visa a candidate needs to present the following documents :
  • Completed Student Application form
  • Completed Supplementary Questionnaire for students and postdoctoral researchers
  • Official letter of acceptance from Canadian university, college or Technical Institute
  • Certificate of Acceptance from the province of Quebec (Only if you plan to study in province of Quebec )
  • TOEFL scores if applicable
  • Passport, valid for at least one year from the planned date of entry to Canada , plus valid passports of any accompanying dependants.
  • Bank Draft for the applicable visa processing fees.
  • Proof of Funds - Every applicant is required to demonstrate that they have sufficient financial resources available to them to pay tuition fees, maintain him/herself and dependants who go to Canada , and to pay return transportation costs without engaging in employment in Canada
 
In general, a student without an accompanying dependent may be required to demonstrate that he/she has at least Canadian $ 10, 000 plus the cost of tuition. However, this basic amount of $ 10, 000 depends upon the local cost of living. If the cost of living in the area the student is going is high, then he/she may be required to show more funds.

The complete application kit should be submitted to the immigration section of the Canadian High commission. All the documents submitted, must be either original or photocopies notarized and witnessed by a notary public or a magistrate or the Canadian Immigration Officer, and must be accompanied by a duplicate copy.
 
 
Interview : An applicant may be required to present himself / herself for an interview with a Canadian Visa Officer. In this case the applicant will be apprised of the time and place for the interview in writing.
 
Medical Examination : Each applicant and his accompanying dependent is required to undergo a medical test upon issuance of medical instructions from the Canadian High Commission.

If the student and accompanying dependants are found to be in good health and if there are no other concerns with the application, the Visa and Student Authorization will be issued .
