My daughter is doing an under-graduate exchange 1 year programme and has been affected by all this. She is due to go to McGill but only got her formal offer letter two days ago. We have applied for the PAL immediately, but as that is likely to take a month, then the study permit takes a further 14 weeks, we feel it is very likely she won't get there in time for the start of Semester at the end of August. The Canadian Government should not have brought this into affect this year, but next year as it means international students will not get their documentation in time to start their courses - super frustrating!

Once you receive your PAL, only then can you submit a study permit application. If approved, you should receive a student visa which will be stamped in your passport. Once you enter Canada, border officials will issue you your study permit. Hopefully that clears this up :)

For most situations, it’s better for high school grads to obtain a bachelor’s degree. However, in certain situations, it may be better to opt for a certificate or diploma program. It’s best that you take into consideration certain factors such as cost, time, disciplinary area, career outcome or immigration goals. 😌

Hi Rachel!! Although this question may not be related to the video but I do want to ask your opinion on study permit pathways. Initially I want to take the SDS route but I heard some applicants received faster processing through the regular stream, however considering the recent changes and how strict they have become, do you think SDS is a better option?

@rrdancel 3 ай бұрын

Generally speaking, the SDS does have more benefits when compared to the regular study permit. Whether you apply through the SDS or the Regular study permit stream, IRCC will process each application on its own merit. Some applications are processed slower and this may be due to issues surrounding completeness, strength of application or concerns about a potential refusal. With these new changes in the international student program, it would be best to hire an immigration lawyer or immigration consultant to help you submit your study permit application. Please avoid immigration agencies from your home country.

@crisyrama 3 ай бұрын

I see. So you suggest it is best to hire an agency, but is there still no harm in doing it myself? are the chances lower with a DIY application ? Thank you again Rachel 💜

Hello. Thanks for the informative video. I have applied for a study permit. I have all the requirements. I will bring my wife and 5-year-old son. Since my wife is not applying for a work permit, I used the IRCC, the new portal, instead of the GCKey. In the questionnaire, I supplied the details of my wife and son, and also indicated that they are coming with me. When I am about to pay, I noticed that I was going to pay for 1 biometrics only. Should I make a separate application for my wife and son?

Don't give misleading information as you're not an immigration consultant! As some of the information you're giving is like an impossible thing to come and immigrate to Canada. The process is simple as far as the immigrant or students qualify for what type of immigration process they're in.

@rrdancel Ай бұрын

Hey there! Thanks for your comment. Just to clear things up, the updates I share are based on what IRCC has posted on their website. I'm just passing along that info to help manage expectations, especially with the new policy changes which can be a bit tough to swallow. I'm definitely not giving legal advice here. Legal advice means knowing someone’s specific situation and giving tailored responses based on that. I’m just sharing general info for everyone. Contrary to what you’re saying, I even recommend consulting with an immigration consultant or lawyer for personal guidance 😊 Plus, if it helps - everything I share has been vetted by my partner, who’s a Canadian immigration lawyer. But i still leave it to everyone’s discretion to do their own research before easily trusting info found online (including my own!) I appreciate your concern and agree with your points to an extent. But I hope we can have a more productive discussion instead of just leaving distasteful comments on here 🤘Anyway, I hope this clears things up and I wish you the best! 😊

@SkyHighemanuel Ай бұрын

@rrdancel I am not criticizing you, and if it seems that way, I apologize. What I am trying to say is that every person's path is different, and people can do their own research when coming to Canada. All that you are saying might not be true for everyone, and they may not face challenges like paying the exorbitant international tuition fees and high cost of living. For instance, in my case, I came to Canada in the winter of 2022 as an international student to study Aerospace Engineering at McGill University. Do you know how much it costs to study this program? It's an insane $80,000 CAD a year ($60,000 for 30 credit loads courses and $20,000 with the current cost of living). As the program itself is prestigious, you might expect such costs, but you know what? I pay nothing with the full-ride scholarship I have. So, it is feasible to come to Canada and make a successful impact here as long as students or immigrants qualify for the type of immigration they are in. However, all your videos that I am seeing are filled with negativity, simply listing the extortionate price and trying to dissuade people from coming to study in Canada, which is not actually true. To conclude my points, while challenges exist, there are also ample opportunities for those who qualify as long they're hard-working As the renowned author Paulo Coelho once said, "When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it."
