Study Permit For Canada
Being granted a study permit is one of the most critical parts of the process in applying to study in Canada. Some prospective students are not aware, however, that receiving a letter of acceptance from an institution in Canada DOES NOT guarantee that you will be granted a study permit to Canada. In our previous post, we discussed five reasons why a Canadian visitor visa application may be denied, this post will explore five reasons why a Canadian study permit application may be denied:
- Lack of funds:
Educational institutions in Canada can charge up to 2.5 times the domestic fees for international students. When you apply for your study permit, you will need to show that you have sufficient funds to support your studies and your stay. If you do not have sufficient funds, this may result in a refusal. - Your proposed studies are not reasonable:
The visa officer will want to be satisfied that your proposed study is logical in light of your background, education and qualifications. - Loose connections to home country:
Many persons will choose studying in Canada as a way to migrate permanently, the visa officer however needs to be convinced that your stay in Canada will be temporary. One of the aspects that the visa officer will look at is if there are strong connections to your home country. - Insufficient evidence of support:
Many students receive assistance from a person who may sponsor their tuition, the visa officer will need to see sufficient support that your sponsor can and will support your studies in Canada. - Providing misleading or false information:
It is important that you provide accurate and truthful information on your application forms. If the visa officer discovers that you provided misleading or false information, you may be denied from entering Canada for a specific period of time.
On any immigration application, there is no guarantee of success, however if you take note of these reasons you may give your application an improved chance of receiving an approval.
