Canada launched a new SDS Program (Student direct stream) for international students from India, under this stream student should need overall 6 bands in IELTS with not less than 6 in any modules. Students also need to pay one-year tuition fee for their course, before they can apply for their visa. Processing time under this stream would be 45 days or less in normal cases.If someone not qualifies under SDS Program they can still apply under normal study visa route, their application will be processed within the current 60-day service standard.
Advantages of applying under SDS
