The Canadian government is gradually tightening study visa rules for international students. According to the new rules, if a student takes admission in a college in Canada from India, then he cannot change the college after reaching there. If he changes college, he will have to obtain study visa again. If the visa is refused, the student must leave Canada within thirty days.
Difficulties increased for students
Along with this, he will also be deprived of post study visa work permit. If a student who has paid for admission to the college changes the college, the fee will not be refunded. Moving to Canada and changing colleges can now be expensive for students. Every year more than 2.5 lakh Indian students go to Canada on study visa.
50 percent students change colleges after reaching Canada
According to ASCOS (Association Consultants for Overseas Studies), till now 50 percent of the students change colleges after reaching Canada. Earlier, the student used to get the study visa of the college from which he came to Canada canceled and upload the offer letter of the new college on the Canadian Immigration website and GC portal.
Canadian government has tightened study visa rules
Students were being misled even by changing colleges. Many agents used to mislead students and talk about getting exemption in fees. Influenced by the agents, students used to change colleges. College admission agents take their commission from the college.
Now according to the new rules of the Government of Canada, there will be no change in the college. If you change colleges, you will need to apply for a study visa again. The visa may or may not be rejected. If the visa is not received, the student will have to return within thirty days.
