Student Direct Stream for Expedited Study Permit Processing
The Canadian government has introduced the Student Direct Stream, specifically designed for students from China, India, the Philippines, or Vietnam, aiming to expedite the study permit processing. While the requirements align closely with the standard study permit in Canada, there are stringent language criteria, mandating a minimum of 6 bands in IELTS or 7 in French. Failure to meet these language requirements may necessitate processing the application through the regular study permit route. Opting for the Student Direct Stream can be advantageous for students, offering a reduced risk of visa rejection.

For the electronic method, create an account on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website, while the paper-based method involves mailing hard copies to the Visa application center (VAC) in their country.
   
   

Port of Entry Verification: International students must reach the Canadian Port of Entry (POE) to undergo document verification by immigration officers. Upon successful verification, they receive a Port of Entry introduction letter, which they present to the immigration office to obtain their study permit.
