Study in Canada: High Commission of Canada Urges Indian Students for Early Applications Ensuring Smooth Visa Process

The Canadian government is trying its best to safeguard the interests of those willing to visit, work, study, or settle in Canada. Due to recent accounts of fraud by agencies and unregistered consultants misleading Indian students to submit fake acceptance letters and other documents, the government is intensifying its efforts to combat exploitation. 

In lieu of this, the High Commission of Canada has urged Indian students to submit their applications early. It ensures that proper review of their applications is done during the processing time of study permits and no grievances are reported later on. 

Currently, the study permit processing time after biometrics is seven weeks. Therefore, students are requested to complete their end of the process earliest possible and wait for the consulate’s decision. Also, students must familiarise themselves with the IRCC rules and regulations around student permits before applying.

Canada Safeguarding Indian Students From Fraud

To avoid any malpractices the International Student Program is already underway. It will not only safeguard the admission process to Canada but also address the vulnerability of students, unethical recruitment, and the involvement of fraud consultants. 

IRCC has provided comprehensive application details on its website for students. Along with this, it is also organizing various awareness campaigns to assist the students. Moreover, students are also urged to provide details of consultants who helped them get along the journey to identify genuine and counterfeit agencies. 

If you are wondering has studying in Canada just got tougher? Let us assure you that your worries are in vain. Canada is still accepting a large number of Indian students. In the first two quarters of 2023, authorities issued 96,175 to Indian students.

Moreover, as of July 2023, the authorities granted Permanent Residency (PR) to 84,425 Indians. Students should understand that it is only about providing genuine and complete information with authentic documents that matter. The rest of the process is just the same.
