Affected by the epidemic, many changes have taken place in the relevant processes and policies for international students to apply for entry into Canada. It depends on the specific situation.

New Canadian visa policy: 1. Canada will implement visa-free entry and begin electronic certification of ETA. In addition, Canada will force people who enter the country to submit their personal data in advance and apply for ETA. If officials think that security is not threatened, they can enter. This ETA regulation is mainly aimed at foreign travelers with visa-free passports, but does not include foreigners with Chinese mainland passports.

2. Canada's visa policy for studying abroad has relaxed the historical requirements for funds, and the validity period of international student visas has been extended to 3-5 years, which can also avoid the trouble of visa extension.

3. The Canadian Embassy not only set up a visa processing center in Chinese mainland, which greatly improved the visa speed of applicants, but also the Immigration Bureau officially lowered the historical upper limit of the deposit in visa conditions, which increased the visa pass rate from 65% eight years ago to more than 80% last year. Last year, 65,438+03,000 people in China received overseas study permits, an increase of 46% over the previous year.

Why is Canada's visa issuance too slow? It can be expedited.

It is true that the processing speed of Canadian visa applications will be slower, but even so, there is no urgent service. If you want to get a visa quickly, you'd better get ready:

1, the visa materials should be fully prepared to ensure that they are correct.

2. The visa materials cannot be false.

If there is nothing wrong with your information, the embassy will review it faster. What problems can be solved in time? If you don't know, you can go to Gao Qian. They are state-owned institutions that specifically refuse to sign and re-sign. When my visa to Canada was refused, I went there twice. The embassy has a good reputation, but the cost is a bit high.

My friend told me that visas in Canada are generally slow. Can someone who has handled it tell me about how long it will take?

The normal processing time in Canada is about 1 month. If it is urgent, the visa can be issued within 10 working days from the date of entering the embassy. However, there is an extra charge for express delivery, and the express delivery fee is 2600 yuan per person. If the rush fails, we will refund all the rush fees. If you have never been abroad before, or have only been to those countries in Southeast Asia, it is not good for you. It is difficult for you to explain why you want to go to the other side of the world for the first time, especially when you are applying for a trip abroad. Therefore, if you have the financial strength, you can go to Britain, France and Germany first. If not, you can also go to Japan and South Korea, which makes it easier to get a visa. Now, although visas in Canada don't need to be signed in person, they will randomly check us and review you by phone. If you don't answer the phone when he calls, or if no one answers the phone at your left company, the other party may not let you pass if it is strict. So pay attention to your phone number when applying, and don't miss it. Especially in tourist visas, if your travel plan is confusing and the room you booked has nothing to do with your plan, people can see at a glance that something is wrong and are likely to be rejected. In addition, the other party must check the authenticity of your reservation, and never refund the ticket without receiving the visa. It will be embarrassing if he can't find the ticket you booked when he checks. All information related to funds will be carefully examined by the other party, and the amount and authenticity of funds are very important. You need to explain your work situation, mainly to have a stable job. Things related to the company must also be true. If the other party finds that your company has problems or the company can't find you, then your results will definitely not be good. My brother was denied a visa to Canada three times the year before last, but he found a home to reiterate the network and went out smoothly. It is said that they have embassy relations and government background, but it is also said that it is dark and the price is not cheap, but it is worthwhile to do it and save trouble.

Canada has applied for a visa for more than a month. What's the hurry?

Under normal circumstances, the audit of the Canadian Embassy generally takes about 1 month, but if there is such a large group or peak season, the audit speed will be slower, so don't worry too much.

The visa pass rate is related to the following factors: whether you have been to a developed country like Canada; Whether married with children or single and divorced; Whether the household registration is in a sensitive area; Do you have a stable job?

In fact, whether the visa is passed or not depends on whether we can convince the visa officer that the applicant will return to China on time after going to Canada. If the visa officer believes this, he will approve the visa.

How long does it take to apply for a visa in Canada at present?

Affected by the epidemic, the processing of Canadian tourist visas has been delayed, which has brought great inconvenience to domestic and foreign tourists. Since the Canadian federal government announced its plan to allow all travelers from other countries who have been vaccinated to enter the country from September 7, the travel visa processing that had to wait for more than 400 days has finally accelerated! According to the latest trial schedule published by official website, it takes 280 days for the Immigration Department to approve the Canadian visitor visa application submitted in China, and only 168 days for the Canadian visitor visa application!

For international students and workers who urgently need visas to enter Canada, as long as they meet the current visa-free entry conditions in Canada, they can contact the Canadian Immigration Department through the IRCC Webform and submit proof that you are not bound by travel restrictions. The Immigration Bureau will contact the applicant within 14 working days after receiving the complete request, and give priority to the applicant's visa application. The Immigration Department has launched an online naturalization service. Applicants above 18 can apply for naturalization online!

Canadian government official website address:

In addition, from August 1 1, Immigration Canada officially opened the "online naturalization application" channel to applicants aged 18!

Application link:

Scope of application: At present, the online naturalization channel is only open to singles over 18 years old, and is not open to family units and intermediaries for the time being.

In addition, those permanent residents who are employed outside Canada are temporarily unable to complete their applications through online naturalization channels. The Immigration Department said that online applications will be opened to families and minors under 18 later this year, and the channels for intermediary clients to apply will be opened in 2022.

In the press conference, IRCC particularly emphasized that people who have submitted paper naturalization applications do not need to re-submit online applications. As part of the plan to modernize the immigration system, the new online system will allow applicants to save unfinished applications and complete them later. The new system also allows users to upload relevant documents, payment certificates, confirmation receipts, etc.

Finally, with the gradual relaxation of border control, Canadian immigrants will further usher in spring. Interested friends should grasp the current bonus period and start preparations as soon as possible.
