Applying for a Canada Study Visa (Study Permit) from India involves several steps — and our team at Apply Study Visa handles every single one for you. Here is the complete process:

Step 1 — Career Counselling & Program Selection: Our expert counsellors assess your academic background, budget, and career goals to shortlist the right course and Designated Learning Institution (DLI) college in Canada.

Step 2 — Secure Your Letter of Acceptance (LOA): We apply to your selected DLI college on your behalf. Once accepted, you receive a Letter of Acceptance — the foundation of your study permit application.

Step 3 — Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL): As of January 2024, a PAL is mandatory for most undergraduate and diploma students. Your college applies for this on your behalf. Our team coordinates this process entirely.

Step 4 — IELTS / PTE Score: You need a minimum 6.0 band overall in IELTS (no band below 5.5) or an equivalent PTE score. We provide full language test preparation support if needed.

Step 5 — GIC Account Opening: Open a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) of CAD 20,635 with an approved Canadian bank. This is proof of living funds — and we guide you through the entire GIC process.

Step 6 — Medical Examination: A mandatory upfront medical from an IRCC-approved panel physician in India. We share the list of nearest approved clinics.

Step 7 — SOP & Document Preparation: Our expert SOP writers craft a compelling Statement of Purpose and organize your complete document file to minimize rejection risk.

Step 8 — IRCC Portal Application: We submit your complete, verified application on the official IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) portal.

Step 9 — Biometrics: Visit your nearest Visa Application Centre (VAC) for fingerprints and photo — a one-time requirement.

Step 10 — Pre-Departure Support: Once approved, we assist with air ticket booking, forex, accommodation guidance, and a full pre-departure briefing.

⏱ Processing Time: Typically 3–8 weeks. Apply at least 4–5 months before your intake date. Currently, Zero Processing Fee for the May 2026 intake is active — contact us today to get started.

Having the right documents — correctly prepared and organized — is the difference between visa approval and rejection. Here is the complete document checklist for a Canada Study Permit in 2026:

📄 Valid Passport — Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your course end date. All old passports must also be submitted.

🏫 Letter of Acceptance (LOA) — From a Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI). Your college must be DLI-listed on the IRCC website.

📋 Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) — Mandatory for undergraduate and diploma students from January 2024. We coordinate this with your college.

🏦 GIC Certificate — Guaranteed Investment Certificate of CAD 20,635 from an approved bank (required for the SDS / Student Direct Stream route).

💰 Financial Proof — Bank statements showing sufficient funds to cover tuition + living expenses. IRCC requires proof of at least CAD 22,895 for living costs (effective Sept 2025).

🗣️ IELTS / PTE Score Report — Minimum 6.0 overall band in IELTS or equivalent PTE score. Scores must be less than 2 years old.

📝 Statement of Purpose (SOP) — A well-crafted letter explaining why you want to study in Canada, your course choice, career plan, and ties to India.

🎓 Academic Transcripts & Certificates — 10th marksheet, 12th marksheet, graduation documents (if applicable), and any other relevant certificates.

🧾 Tuition Fee Payment Receipt — Proof that you have paid the first-year tuition fee to your college.

🏥 Medical Examination Report — Upfront medical from an IRCC-approved panel physician. Results are submitted electronically to IRCC.

📸 Photographs — As per IRCC specifications (35mm x 45mm, white background).

⚠️ Important: Incorrect, mismatched, or missing documents are the #1 reason for Canada study visa rejections. Our team at Apply Study Visa thoroughly verifies every document in your file before submission — this is a key reason our approval rate is so high across 27,000+ students.

Yes — absolutely! Study gaps and previous visa refusals are far more common than you think, and they do not automatically disqualify you. At Apply Study Visa, we have helped hundreds of students in exactly this situation get their Canada, UK, and Australia study visa approved.

What makes the difference?

📝 A strong, honest Statement of Purpose (SOP): Your SOP must clearly and genuinely explain the reason for your study gap — whether it was financial constraints, family responsibilities, health reasons, or work experience. Visa officers are trained to spot weak or dishonest explanations. Our expert SOP writers craft compelling, truthful narratives that address gaps head-on and present your case positively.

📁 Smart documentation strategy: Supporting documents — such as gap affidavits, work experience letters, or medical certificates — are carefully selected to strengthen your file.

🏫 Right college and course selection: Matching your profile to the right DLI college significantly improves your chances of approval, especially after a refusal.

💰 Strong financial proof: Demonstrating clear and genuine financial capacity removes one of the biggest doubt factors for visa officers.

Real proof from our students:

✅ Sapreet Kaur — 2-year study gap, no Maths background → Canada Study Visa Approved (Fleming College, Pharmacy Technician)
✅ Jaspreet Kaur — 2-year gap after 12th, 5.5 IELTS band in one module → Canada Study Visa Approved (Sheridan College, Office Administration)

The UK Student Visa is one of the most prestigious study visas in the world — and with the right guidance, Indian students can secure it with confidence. Here is everything you need to know:

Key Requirements:

🎓 Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS): Once you accept your offer from a UK university or college, your institution issues a unique CAS number. This is the anchor of your UK Student Visa application.

🗣️ English Language Proficiency: Most UK universities require a minimum IELTS score of 6.0–6.5 overall (no band below 5.5). Some institutions accept PTE or other approved English tests. We provide full IELTS/PTE preparation support.

💰 Financial Requirements: You must show enough funds to cover your tuition fee for the first year, plus living costs — £1,334/month for up to 9 months if studying in London, or £1,023/month outside London. Funds must have been held in your account for at least 28 consecutive days before applying.

📄 Key Documents: Valid passport, CAS number, financial evidence (bank statements), IELTS/PTE scores, academic transcripts, and TB test results (mandatory for Indian applicants).

Application Process: Apply online via the UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) portal → pay the visa fee (£490) and Immigration Health Surcharge (IHS) → attend your biometrics appointment at a VFS Global centre in India → receive your Biometric Residence Permit (BRP) on arrival in the UK.

⏱️ Processing Time: Approximately 3 weeks from biometrics submission.

🎓 Post-Study Work (Graduate Route Visa): After graduating from a UK university, you can stay and work in the UK for 2 years (3 years for PhD graduates) — one of the biggest advantages of studying in the UK.

Australia is one of the most popular destinations for Indian students — known for world-class universities, excellent post-study work rights, and a clear pathway to permanent residency. Here's how the Australia Student Visa (Subclass 500) process works:

Eligibility Requirements:

🏫 Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE): Once you accept your offer from an Australian institution registered on CRICOS (Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students), you receive a CoE number — the primary document for your visa application.

🗣️ English Proficiency: Minimum IELTS 5.5–6.5 overall depending on your course and institution. PTE Academic is also widely accepted by Australian universities.

📝 Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) Statement: Australia requires a GTE statement — similar to Canada's SOP — explaining why you want to study in Australia, your study plans, and your intention to return to India after completing your course. A weak GTE is one of the top reasons for Australian student visa rejection.

💰 Financial Capacity: Show funds to cover AUD 24,505 per year for living expenses + your course tuition fees + travel costs. Our team advises you on the most effective way to demonstrate these funds.

🏥 Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC): Mandatory health insurance for the full duration of your stay in Australia. We help you select the right OSHC plan.

Application Process: Apply online via ImmiAccount → submit biometrics if required → health examination if prompted → receive visa decision (typically 4–6 weeks processing time).

💼 Work Rights While Studying: Work up to 48 hours per fortnight during semesters and unlimited hours during scheduled breaks.

🎓 Post-Study Work Visa (Subclass 485): Work in Australia for 2–4 years after graduation — a direct pathway to Australian Permanent Residency.
