Student Visa Application Process:

To apply for a student visa in Canada, the following steps have to be followed:.

Obtaining letter of acceptance

The letter of acceptance has to be obtained from the learning institution that the student applied to. Students that wish to study in Quebec need to obtain a CAQ or Certificate of Acceptance from the government.

Determining the mode of application

The candidate can either apply online or on paper. For the online mode, they should be prepared to upload all of the required documents by creating electronic copies of them. If the offline mode is followed, the application kit has to be downloaded which contains all of the necessary information needed to complete the application along with a list of the required documents. The candidate should create an account on the CIC website and answer the given questions so that it can be determined which documents are required for them and if they are eligible for the visa.

Uploading documents

If the student has been found to be eligible, they will receive a personal checklist code(valid for 60 days) that they will need in order to submit their online application. This checklist will also help them be aware of everything that they require for their application(documents, fees, etc). When the student is ready to apply, they must create a MyCIC account where they should enter their personal checklist code and upload the required documents accordingly.

Completing the application and gaining entry to Canada

Once the student has uploaded their documents, filled out their application form and paid their fees, they can submit their completed application to CIC. Should this submitted application be approved by those in charge, a Port of Entry(POE) Letter of Introduction will be presented to them. This should be presented to CBSA(Canada Border Services Agency) along with the other required documents, fees proof and passport. They will then issue the study permit and allow the student access into Canada.
