NovCanada has long been a favorite destination for Pakistani students due to its high quality of life and welcoming culture. However, late 2024 brought significant changes to the immigration landscape, most notably the discontinuation of the Student Direct Stream (SDS). This means Pakistani students must now apply through the Regular Study Permit Stream, which requires more detailed documentation and strategic planning.
The Shift to the Regular Stream With the fast-track SDS program closed, processing times may be longer, and the scrutiny on financial documents has increased. Under the Regular Stream, simply buying a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) is no longer the sole requirement. You must now provide a comprehensive financial picture, including bank statements, proof of assets, and income tax returns to demonstrate that you can afford your education without financial hardship.
Canada remains a favorite for its high quality of life and post-graduation work permits (PGWP). However, students must be meticulous with their applications.
The Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) To manage the number of international students, Canada now requires most undergraduate applicants to obtain a Provincial Attestation Letter (PAL) from the province where they intend to study (e.g., Ontario, British Columbia). This adds an extra step to the admission process. Universities now have limited “seats” for international students, so applying early is more critical than ever.
Choosing a Logical Study Path Visa officers heavily scrutinize your choice of program. If you have a Bachelor’s degree in Business and five years of banking experience, applying for a generic diploma in “Hospitality” will look suspicious. Your proposed course in Canada must be a logical progression of your academic and professional history. We help you write a strong “Letter of Explanation” to justify your study plan.
