How to Apply for Canadian Student Visa 2024 - New Process After PAL

[@believe1010]

I came here to write this review because your platform is the best and the most informative on this whole Canada immigration process. I submitted my study permit application on 3 July 2024, and I got everything approved 12 August 2024 (27 working days). Thanks to you. I watched all your videos and used your guidelines on what documents to include and how to write a strong letter of Explanation. In fact I was totally clueless at the beginning because it was my first attempt. But your videos worked like magic. Thanks 🙏 again

[@ImCanada]

Thank you so much! It means a lot that you took the time for this. Did you use our SOP Builder?

[@RiadhCEOBrand]

Don't you mind sharing the country where you've applied from ?

Hi, Your bank statement, did you show funds for one year or the whole duration

[@jawadbinhasan1]

Hi Max! I have a few questions about the study permit application: 1. Should my dad’s bank balance cover the total tuition and living expenses for all years (CAD 116,100 total, which is CAD 18,000 per year for tuition and CAD 20,635 per year for living expenses over 3 years), or just the first year’s cost (CAD 38,635), since the website says I only need to show funds for the first year, regardless of the program duration? 2. The form asks for total tuition and room/board for the entire program, but for “Funds available for stay in Canada,” should the funds available be the summation of both tuition and room/board for all years, or just the amount I currently have available, which is BDT 41 lakh (equivalent to CAD 48,000)? 3. I found on the official Canadian immigration website that it requires the first year’s tuition fee and living expenses (CAD 18,000 for tuition and CAD 20,635 for living expenses). Is my dad’s bank statement with CAD 48,000 enough for the first-year requirement? I can also upload proof of my dad’s business, e-trade license, and assets to show how we will cover the remaining years. Thanks!

Hi Max, thanks so much for the information. I would like to be sure if there's need to upload any documents in consent personal information. Also, my husband is sponsoring me and has sent the money into my account, though not directly from his account but from sales of land, properties ,car, gifts and loan. Those payments were made by other parties into my account. Any problem about this?

Hi, do I still need to fill out the IMM documents just like before or not? cause I don’t see them anymore in the application. Also, how about the biometrics where do I put it? cause if I say yes there is error in the IRCC, but if no I need to pay even I already have biometrics. Your answer will be highly appreciated 😁

Hi Max, great video, I'm applying as an international student, and I have an offer and letter of acceptance from a Canadian University. However, I'm taking my spouse and daughter along with me. I have chosen "yes" in the part where it says, "Do you want to apply for more than 1 person at the same time" in the application, which showed "Manage group" with a table asking to add members. My question is, do I need to add myself only and consider the questions and docs inside for the whole family? or does this step need to be done for each member? where questions inside want to be logical as they are coming with me.? please answer as it is urgent, thanks

Mr, max thank you for your dedication, i need some thoughts on some issues that i incountered. In 2023 i applied to college of north atlantic (newfoundland) and they rejected me. But out of a sudden in 2024 while i almost forget they sent me an email that says i am in waiting list. Then last week they sent me a LOA and tell me to deposit to receive PAL. i am feeling that they just accepted me just to fill their quotas of PAL system, if that so what are they odds of me getting permit.

[@uchennaibeziako4226]

hello, I just submitted my application, but I noticed that whenever i reach the activities section and answer accordingly (no to the post secondary history or work history), and tap on save and continue, it skips me to the medical questions. I didn't see any travel history questions or any security questions, it just skipped me countless times to the medical history, and I submitted my application already. is this a bug I should report? What do I do? I just submitted. I've been denied a visa before but I wasn't given any space to make it clear. I'm so scared. I tried creating a new application but the same thing keeps happening. if necessary, context is, I'm 17, I'm from nigeria

[@ImCanada]

I wonder if it's a technical issue. Try a different browser

[@uchennaibeziako4226]

we used a different browser and a different computer also, but the same thing happened. I asked a friend of mine who applied with her family and she said the same happened to her, that it was based off age but I'm really worried. could you do a tutorial like this but applying as though you're a minor, less than 18 and see if that's something that is going on for everyone?
