Amidst the prevailing tensions between India and Canada, there emerges a beacon of hope for aspiring students: the issuance of study visas for the North American nation remains unhampered. Prospective scholars with scores nearing the prerequisites have a substantial likelihood of securing a visa, as evidenced by the consistently impressive success rates, ranging from an impressive 85% to an astonishing 95%.
Canada’s inclusive immigration policies remain undisturbed, transforming the Canadian dream into a tangible reality for many. These tales of triumph in these trying times bear testament to the notion that dreams can materialize against considerable odds. Even students with an overall IELTS score of six bands, including a modest 5 in one or two modules, are realizing their aspirations. Notably, in the PTE (Pearson test of English) exam, where a score of 60 is the standard, candidates with scores of 57, 58, and 59 are being granted Canadian visas.
Remarkably, educational centers specializing in IELTS and PTE, especially in Punjab’s Doaba region, renowned for such institutions, are witnessing an impressive student visa success rate ranging from 90% to 95%, even amid the standoff between India and Canada. Astonishingly, some centers have observed an 18-19% spike in their visa success rates over the past month.
The strained relationship between the two countries, stemming from allegations of India’s possible involvement in the death of Canadian national and militant Hardeep Singh Nijjar, has not deterred the influx of student visa applications. Most of these applications have been processed since the crisis began.
What’s even more intriguing is that a few visa centers have recently experienced a substantial surge in visa approvals, illustrating that more individuals are realizing their Canadian dreams. Despite the initial apprehension during the India-Canada standoff, students eventually overcame their reservations and began submitting visa applications, reaping the rewards even during challenging times.
Notably, various visa categories, including visitor, tourist, business, investor, work permits, and Spouse Open Work Permit (SOWP), are continuing to be granted at a rate similar to the pre-crisis era, signifying the resilience of the Canadian government’s open immigration policies.
In essence, these stories of triumph and the remarkable increase in visa success rates reflect the indomitable spirit of those who aspire to pursue their education in Canada. Despite geopolitical complexities and the backdrop of strained diplomatic ties, the Canadian dream remains accessible to those who persist in their pursuit.
