Canada

The study-to-PR country

Canada remains the most complete route for Indian applicants: a study permit that leads to a post-graduation work permit, work experience that earns points, and a permanent residence system that rewards that experience. It is also the country where financial documentation is scrutinised hardest.

How your file moves

Six stages. At every point you know what is pending, with whom, and what it costs.

  1. Free assessment

    Thirty minutes. We look at your marks, funds, work history and travel record and say which route is realistic.

  2. Route and written quote

    One page: the route, why it fits, the full cost split into our fee and third-party fees, and the honest timeline.

  3. Document collection

    A named checklist for your exact route. Every scan vetted for the small errors that trigger queries.

  4. Drafting and forms

    SOP, cover letter, sponsorship affidavit, employment record and the application forms, reviewed with you.

  5. Filing and biometrics

    Online submission, government fee paid from your own account, appointment, biometrics and medicals.

  6. Decision and landing

    We track the file and answer query letters. On approval: travel checklist, forex, SIM and accommodation leads.

Why Canada files actually get refused

Not theory. These are the failure points we see repeatedly on this route — and every one of them is fixable before you file.

  • Funds that appeared recentlyCanadian officers read the statement pattern, not just the closing balance. Season your funds for months.
  • A course that does not follow your historyA sharp switch needs a written, documented explanation, not silence.
  • Weak ties to IndiaEven on a study permit the officer asks whether you will leave when the permit ends.
  • Undisclosed refusal historyCanada shares refusal data with several countries. Disclose it and address it.

Canada questions

If yours is not here, call and ask it. The first conversation costs nothing.

Does a study permit guarantee PR?

No. It creates a pathway — study, then a post-graduation work permit, then skilled experience that earns points. Each stage has its own requirements and none of them is automatic.

What is a GIC?

A Guaranteed Investment Certificate. You deposit your first year of living costs into a Canadian account before filing, and it is released to you in monthly instalments after you land.

Can my spouse work while I study?

In many cases yes, through an open work permit, but eligibility depends on your programme level and current rules. We confirm this before you plan around it.

Is Canada the right country for you?

Send us your marks, your funds position and your timeline. We will tell you whether this route fits — and say so plainly if another one fits better.
