Canadian Student Visa
Do you know that Canada bags third place amongst all the countries of the world in terms of overall education? This is why no doubt every year thousands of students apply in Canadian Universities. To get to study in Canada you require two main things: a letter of acceptance from a DLI (Designated Learning Institution) and a study permit.
As you will get the study permit, you will also get a TRV (Temporary Resident Visa). This visa allows you to enter into Canada while the study permit allows you to study in Canada. Here are some advantages of studying in Canada along with world-class education:
- Canadian universities have a lower tuition fee as compared to American universities
