Everything You Need To Know About Study In Canada From Bangladesh
Those wishing to study in Canada must obtain a Study Permit. To apply for this visa, you must first have a letter of acceptance from a school in Canada in addition to the following documents: a copy of your work permit, two recent 3×5 photographs, a passport within the validity period and documentation showing the resources available to fund your period of study, such as your income tax return and the last three pay stubs or bank statements.
To study in Quebec a certificate of acceptance from the province is required, in this case the letter will be sent to the student along with the acceptance of the school. The amount of the study permit application is R$ 300 and must be paid through bank deposit. Depending on the nature of the studies and length of stay, the consulate may also request a medical examination. More information on this page.
When should you have a student visa?
That’s easy! If your intention is to study English for more than 6 months or attend a College (technical course of 2 years or more), you must opt for a student visa.
How to get a student visa to Canada?
It is not difficult to take a student visa to Canada, but it is important to be aware of the details to avoid complications or, in worse cases, a negative.
So our guidance is that you don’t venture out and try to do this process yourself.
Forms, documents and even online application require technical expertise, especially when it comes to system knowledge.
Professional help therefore ensures more security in visa approval and peace of mind so you don’t have it to start all over again which will cost you more time, energy and money.
So at UBIC Solutions, we assist you to first understand the issues involved in it, thereby speed up the process step by step:
1) Registration
You don’t even want to organize the documentation if you haven’t submitted enrollment at a school in Canada.
2) Organize Necessary Documents Before Flight
In the process of obtaining a student visa, Canada seeks to make sure that you are a student with genuine profile.
In this evaluation, the officers seek to find, through employment and academic ties, that you are, yes, in search of professional growth, but that you still have strong enough connections in Bangladesh that encourage you to return.
In addition, the government assesses whether you or any close relatives have financial conditions for your maintenance in the country and whether you have sufficient reasons and ties to return to Bangladesh.
At this point, Canada wants to know if you have a link to any educational institution.
If you have graduated for some time, it is important to prove employment in the area relating to your graduation.
NOTE: In case of college gap, it is important that this stop is no longer than 1 year. It is also necessary to provide a good justification so that the consulate does not suspect.
Employment Link
It’s another point that strengthens the chances of you having an approved Canadian visa.
You will need to present documents proving your work history, such as work book, invoices, service contracts, etc.
Financial link
The most important thing.
The Canadian government wants to know if you will be able to stay in the country.
That’s why it requires proof of CAD 1,200 per month, regardless of how long you stay, whether it’s 1, 3, 6 or 12 months.
How to prove the income for the student visa?
In this process will be evaluated documents such as bank statements, income tax returns* (very important) and properties of you and family members to make sure the links you have with the country.
If you turn it on: The bank statement must show the sum of every month you are staying in Canada. It’s not worth the amount of the bank limit. It is also mandatory to present proof through any account or application, with immediate liquidity.
If you are unable to prove the monthly CAD 1,200 required to stay in Canada, a close family member will be required to present this statement.
Combine this issue with father, mother brother or at most uncle/aunt. It’s better to be a first-degree relative. If you’re someone further away, like your aunt’s husband or cousin’s wife, the officers might be suspicious and it’s not legal to take that risk, right?
3) Forward Documents With Us
Documents gathered? It’s time to forward to the company that will make the application online! Fingers crossed, but no nervousness. With paperwork organized according to professional guidance, the chances of the student visa being denied are minimal.
How long does it take to get your visa approved?
After submitting the documentation, the average time to know whether your Canadian student visa has been approved or not up to 3 months.
How much does the Canadian student visa cost?
The cost to forward the student visa to Canada is CAD 150.00 + CAD 85.00 (VAC Fee)* + $20.00 Courier (passport)
What is the VAC Rate?
Visa Application Centers (VACs) are visa application centers for Canada. They must act as intermediary bodies between you and the Canadian embassy.
Another amount that you need to include in the account is the mail fee. After the visa is approved by the online system, you need to send your physical passport to the Canadian consulate. The amount varies from country to country, but is between $10.00 and $20.00.
Once you follow all the steps correctly and have your visa approved, you may ask yourself:
Can I work on a student visa?
That depends. Unlike countries like Australia and New Zealand, Canada only grants work permits to those who are enrolled in technical or vocational courses that serve as an undergraduate: colleges. If this is your case, you will be allowed to work up to 20 hours per week.
Students who embark for Canada to study English, however, are not allowed to work. Don’t try to play smart and find a “beak” illegally.
If you get caught, it’s deportation for sure.
Can I take dependents?
You can only take dependents to Canada on a student visa if you are going to study at a public college. If your intention is to study English or take a vocational course in any private institution, you will not have this permission.
Conclusion
In short, the Canadian student visa process requires more attention to points such as proof of financial bond. This is one of the issues that the consulate most “hits” on top of. Inconsistencies presented in this topic may result in visa refusals.
NOTE: Start arranging your student visa documentation for Canada five months before boarding. It is the guidance of the experts so that the process is done without rush.
