You mean non-sds?

 

[rajpurohitmanish]

You mean non-sds?

Yes non sds

 

[Humpholito24]

Yes non sds

The website you have been given above is the non-sds one aka general.


This website is the SDS https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/student-direct-stream/apply.html.

So, there is no where to choose, just log in to your CIC account and click apply for a visa and it will ask you questions before giving you the actual application to fill and what you need to upload.

Well, not really and the account you created is considered general catergory.

It means application will go automatically in general category. How will Someone can determine about application is under sds or general

Click the link I sent you for SDS application and you will see the difference.

 

[rajpurohitmanish]

No different. GCkey login is only option there. In gckey I haven’t found general category

 

[Humpholito24]

SMH! The first difference in general category, it only ask you if application is inside canada or not, and if online or paper, in SDS, you pick the country you are applying from. The system will recognized once you log in and answer the question before you get to see the applications to fill and upload.

The thing is when we meet the eligibility for sds visa the office process visa in sds if we don’t meet eligibility than they review as General or regular category visa.

 

[Humpholito24]

Just apply and stop worrying about general category. SDS and Non-SDS have different requirements and stricter requirement than general

 

[Damsss]

I applied under regular streaming or non-sds and I recently just got approved. In my point of view, it is much harder to comply the SDS and it doesn't mean 100% approval rate. But it really boils down to one's preference.
