Student Direct Stream (SDS): A Swift Way to Application Processing

Advances in technology have without doubt a huge influence on the way we live. Similarly, with the increasing number of student visa applications every year by international students, the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) have introduced a new application program to make the application process more efficient for the students of India, China, Vietnam and Philippines who are planning to study in Canada. The program is known as Student Direct Stream (SDS).

What is Student Direct Stream (SDS)?

Student Direct Stream (SDS) is a program for efficient study permit application process created for the students who have strong proficiency in English and French languages. Moreover, students who wish to be a part of the post-secondary programs in Canada in Designated Learning Institutes are welcomed.

Now, you must be having this question in mind that what are the requirements of this new program and how will you qualify. Well, they are very simple and are as follows:

– Must have a letter of acceptance in the post-secondary education program of a Designated Learning Institute (DLI).

– Must prove the necessary language ability in English or French.

– Must illustrate necessary proof of funds to support the duration of the study.

– Must illustrate that you have undergone a medical examination before completion of the application.

Well, the student should submit the necessary documents with the application in order to prove their eligibility. Also, the series of requirements for SDS is higher than the regular requirements and students who are processing their applications through SDS application process will get these two benefits.

– A quick processing time in their study permit application. Moreover, for the study permit applications, the processing time will be 45 days or less. In case, if a student fails to match the series of requirements for SDS then their application will be processed with the regular applications as per the standard processing time of CIC.

– The second benefit availed by the student in processing the study permit application through this program is less requirement of financial documents as compared to the regular application. If the student applies through the non-SDS program for a student visa, more documents are needed to be submitted in order to prove financial eligibility.

Well, if the students who are willing to submit their applications under SDS it is advised that they opt for the online option to take the benefit of this program.
