Consult with Counselor

A counselor serves as your guide and support throughout the application process and helps you to understand the requirements and procedures involved. They also provide advice on the best way to present yourself and your application in a favorable light.

Apply to DLI School

DLI stands for Designated Learning Institution which refers to a school or educational institution in Canada that is approved by the Canadian government to host international students. When applying for a student visa to study in Canada, it is necessary to apply to a DLI school as part of the visa application process. Also, you will only be eligible to apply for a Post Graduate Work Permit if you finish your program in a DLI.

Wait for LOA

LOA stands for Letter of Acceptance which is a document provided by a school or educational institution to a student applicant who is accepted to study at the institution. In applying for a student visa, you are required to provide a letter of acceptance from the educational institution as part of your application.

Confirm offer and Pay tuition fee

Confirm the offer to accept the admission and pay the tuition fee to reserve the seat given to you by the school. Follow the institution's payment instructions, keep records, and prepare documentation for your student visa application.

Get Medical test from Clinic

A medical test is one of the requirements to comply with for your student visa application. This is to ensure that you are  in a good physical state. You need to set an appointment and visit an approved medical clinic to undergo a physical exam, medical history review, and additional tests if needed. You must pay for the test, follow instructions, and submit your medical information sheet with your student visa application. Plan ahead to allow sufficient time for the test and documentation.

Gather documents for Visa Application

To apply for a student visa, you have to provide a valid passport, a letter of acceptance from your institution, proof of financial support, a completed visa application form, academic documents, language proficiency test results, passport-size photographs, and a travel itinerary (if required). It's important to check the specific requirements for the country where you are applying. Kanata will provide a checklist for your visa requirements and assist you in reviewing and rechecking your submitted documents.

Visa Application Lodging

Refers to the process of submitting your student visa application to the appropriate government agency or consulate. Upon completion of  all your required documents, Kanata will submit your application along with any applicable fees on your behalf. The process of lodging your application may vary depending on the country where you are applying, but the submission is normally done online. After your application has been lodged, it will be processed by the government agency or consulate, which will make a decision on whether to approve or deny your visa application.
