Hello @legalfalcon
My FSW-O is RFV. However, I am applying for a study permit because I don’t want to miss out on the acceptance from Canada’s Western University (masters program)
My question, if I apply in the non SDS category, with:
1) IELTS score 8 overall
2) GIC account with 10k CAD (although not mandatory for non sds)
3) Sufficient proof of funds
4) Proof of token fee deposited in the university (not the entire year’s fee because my university computes the first semester fee requirement in August)
5) Reasonably prove that I will leave Canada after my education,
Do I have lesser chances of approval compared to SDS? Request you to pls throw some light on the merits of sds vs non sds applications.
SDS and non SDS are just the processing procedure, one is faster than the other if you meet certain attributes, it does not reduce or increase your chances. You have to meet the TRV eligibility criteria that you will leave the country after your specified work / study and that you reason to visit is reasonable taking into account your circumstances and you career progression.
