Introduction of a Canadian Student Visa <\/b><b>Cap<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0The introduction of a national cap on Canadian student visa applications was a major transformation in 2024. This was aimed at ensuring that there are less delays in processing and managing the intake of international students. However, the particular number of students to be admitted under this scheme have never been disclosed, meaning that there could be delays in applying especially to those from high application countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Plan well in advance and submit your application as soon as you receive your acceptance letter from a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/immigration-refugees-citizenship\/services\/study-canada\/study-permit\/prepare\/designated-learning-institutions-list.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Designated Learning Institution (DLI). <\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-increased-proof-of-financial-support-for-canadian-student-visa\"><\/span><b>2.

This was done in an effort to keep pace with the rising living costs. You\u2019ll have to avail funds in the equivalent of CAD $20,653 to sustain you for the first year. Besides, you must accompany this amount with evidence regarding your first year tuition fees as well as travel expenses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> To review updated financial requirements you can visit the official website of<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/immigration-refugees-citizenship.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-processing-time-fluctuations-for-canadian-student-visa\"><\/span><b>3.

The creation of the cap and a rapid growth in application number increased the number of pending applications at IRCC. The length of processing could vary depending on the country of your residence and the difficulty of the application you have submitted.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-streamlined-student-direct-stream-sds-for-canadian-student-visa\"><\/span><b>4.
