Thank you for your reply. What do think about the program I am applying for, is it worth the while?

Also I am looking to deposit 3.5m in my bank account, out of which 1.35m will be withdrawn for GIC. The remaining will be approx. 2m in my account at the time of applying for visa, other than GIC and tuition fees - these two will be done obviously for SDS. Is that enough?

I am looking to apply in Oct mid, since I need that time to maintain my bank statement. Would that be okay?
if you are opening GIC then other bank statement is not required but good to have it.

I completed my undergraduate degree in DEC 2019. I Would like to apply study visa under SDS program. Booked IELTS but it keeps getting canceled due to pandemic. Did doulingo with 120 Score (I know it is not accepted under SDS, not sure about non-SDS either). I have a decent travel history (9 countries + a valid untraveled US Visa) but I have about 5-6 visit visa refusals from different countries as well.

My CGPA is 3.9, 88% marks.

1. I am wondering if my visit visa refusals of other countries are going to make my study visa application weak.
2. I am married and want to take my wife with me too. OR applying as single applicant is good option and applying wife OWP at later stage?
3. Do I have to take equivalency certificate from WES as well? I always thought that WES certification only required for immigration purpose. Is that so?

1. No!
2. Apply as single applicant, once you'll get study permit then apply to OWP for her.
3. No!

Faisal, I have paid only for first semester but I have shown GIC of CAD 13K, do you think it's enough?

ITR is income tax return document, it's official document of your parent's yearly income!

If u have done 13k gic then u will not get financial objection. As cic website says that u should have atleast 10k to support ur self for 1 year. Now on ur case as u submitted 1 semester fee so second semester will be due after 6 months. So additonal 3 k which u did in GIC is plus. Now tac documents are good to have but u should attach ur parents bank statement as well to make ur case strong. If u would have deposited full year fee then GIC alone was more than enough

You will get admission in University by Doulingo test, But, For SDS you will have to appear in IELTS
For NON SDS, there is no language requirement

1. No, it will not make your case weak
2. You should first apply, then apply for OWP for your wife
3. Many Universities/Colleges require WES assessment

The visa ratio of SDS is way more higher then non SDS in every country having this
From June 2018 - August 2019
India NON SDS RATIO = 46%
SDS RATIO = 88%

PAKISTAN NON SDS = 25%
SDS = 100% ( Only 1 student applied in August 2019, That's why its 100%)
But, It is clear that SDS has more chances of getting visa because we are alreasy paying full year fee and GIC.

Thank you so much. It means its better to wait for IELTS (I have already booked it but it keeps getting canceled), I would be going to jan 2021 intake to make sure that I apply though SDS stream.
