12th : 73.5%
10th : 71 %
IELTS : Yet to take the test

want to know what is my chances of getting a visa.

Thanks
 
Thanks dude for the reply :) :).... Could you mention what specifically I need to take care, because i dont want to take chances!!!
 
hey you have excellent profile. why didn't you apply in other universities like alberta or mcgill or mcmaster ?? these are much better than sfu.

rest best of luck with you decision
 
bruv if you look at the past people have took advantage of current spp program look at their case and see how people have been sucessful in obtaining visa and decide accordingly
 
@ ms.mech , The research topic at SFU is good so Thought i will go ahead with it.
@ dhananisam , Will look into the SPP prgram as well.

Can you suggest some good VISA consultants under whom I can take some help.

Congrats. If you like the prof and research, look no further. Thats what matters the most. Give your IELTS ASAP and show some backup funds. You will get visa for sure.

Don't waste money on Visa consultants. Canadian visa process is pretty straightforward. Read everything carefully including VFS site and Study Permit Application guide. People on this forum are helpful. Don't hesitate to ask anything. But please search previous threads/Google before asking though.
 
@ sue_in , Thanks :). I am planning to show 8 lacs as loan. I will take the IELTS soon. Friend of mine at SFU told he only showed the offer letter mentioning the research grant.

Aarey, no need to get 8 lacs as loan. Just show your/guardians savings that too as a backup source (around 3-4 lacs is enough). Otherwise funding letter works well. But ask others well before deciding anything.
 
Thanks HBK. Will pose all questions through this forum instead of any consultants. This forum is very helpful.
