Student Permit & Visa - Canada

All overseas students are required to obtain a Student Authorization and Visa before going to Canada for studies.
Students must also meet the requirements of the Canadian Immigration Act and Regulations. Under normal circumstances, allow at least two months for your visa to be processed.
Visa and Student Authorization Procedure
Documents required

Proof of Funds
Every applicant must 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.
For example, students without accompanying dependants must demonstrate that they have at least $10,000 Cdn plus the cost of tuition for a twelve-month period, plus the cost of transportation to and fro from Canada.
Canadian $10,000 is the base amount considered adequate to cover all costs, other than tuition, for one person for a twelve-month period.
Some educational institutions require that more funds be available; if the local cost of living is higher than average, more money may also be required.

After the Completed application forms along with the documents are submitted;
INTERVIEW - An interview with a Canadian Visa Officer may be required. If this is the case, you will be advised in writing of the time and place for the interview.
MEDICAL EXAMINATION - The Canadian high commission will issue medical instructions. Students and accompanying dependants must pass a medical examination.
If the student and accompanying dependants are found to be in good health and there are no other concerns with the application, the Visa and Student Authorization will be issued.
