Did you know that Indian students can get a Study Permit faster by applying under the Student Partners Program (SPP)?

The SPP is a joint pilot project between Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s visa offices in India and the Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC). UFV strongly advises that you take advantage of this new program when applying for a Study Permit. Processing time can be as short as two weeks if you follow the SPP procedure for submission carefully.

Some of the main conditions to apply for a Study Permit under the SPP include:
  • UFV Letter of Acceptance with NO conditions
  • Payment of fees in full for the first semester of study
  • A IELTS score of 6.0 or better (Students with TOEFL scores do not qualify)
  • A bank loan from an SPP-approved chartered bank to finance the student’s education
  • Disclosure of agent or other person helping with the student’s application
  • Medical examination (wait a week after the student’s examination before submitting his or her application)
It is important to follow the SPP procedure closely. Submitting the wrong form or documents that are not on the list can cause undue delay. Please, follow all guidelines for fastest Study Permit processing.
