Apply for a study permit through the Student Direct Stream with Us
The Student Direct Stream (SDS) program is the key to all those documentation efforts and visa processing time while applying to Canadian universities. Applicants will now be capable of getting their study permits processed within 20 calendar days if the eligibility criteria are met.
The applications that are submitted online will be eligible under SDS. The paperwork process will be under the normal study permit and not SDS. International students must meet the eligibility requirements under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR).
•The number of institutions listed in the SDS system is ten times those listed under SPP. These colleges under SDS System provide a guaranteed post-graduation work permit unlike most private institutions in Canada.
• SDS has replaced SPP, which was started in 2009.
• The foremost change in the new rule is the band requirement. Students need 6 bands in each module to apply under the SDS rule.
• SPP was linked with college whereas SDS is linked with students directly.
