A student visa is required for individuals wishing to pursue education in foreign countries. Each destination has unique requirements, visa types, and processes. Here's a detailed overview of student visas for the USA, Canada, Australia, and Schengen countries.
Canada - Study Permit
To study in Canada, international students must obtain a Study Permit, along with a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) or Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) based on their nationality. The steps for applying include:
- Letter of Acceptance: Obtain a letter of acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI).
- Apply Online: Submit an online application for a Study Permit, including the letter of acceptance, proof of funds, and medical exams (if applicable).
- Biometrics and Interview: Some students may need to provide biometrics or attend an interview.
- Arrival in Canada: Upon approval, students receive a Port of Entry (POE) letter, which they present to border officials upon arrival to receive the Study Permit.
- Work Opportunities: Canada allows full-time students to work up to 20 hours per week during academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks. Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP) allow students to stay and work in Canada after graduation.
USA - F-1 Student Visa
The F-1 visa is the most common visa for students enrolling in U.S. universities, colleges, and language schools. Here's how the process works:
