Hi rtbrfr,
I don't know your background or intended course but in general, as a student applying for a Study permit, your application should satisfy four basic criteria:
1. Your Studies should be logical at this point in your life, related to your previous studies and should show a natural progression in your career.
2. You should show the required financial resources to pay tuition fees and support yourself for the duration of your studies in Canada.
3. You should demonstrate adequate travel history specifically to first world countries (US, UK). If you entered and left these countries within the appropriate visa durations, your application shall carry more weight. Basically, you are reinforcing the idea that you are a law abiding person, with no intentions of overstaying your visa illegally.
4. You need to demonstrate adequate links with your home country which will compel you to come back.
Apart from these, you ofcourse need the prerequisites of technical and academic qualifications, offer of admission from a designated learning institution, profiency in English etc...
As long as you satisfy the VO on the above points, you'll most likely get the visa.
If your intention is to get a PR after your studies, then you'll get additional points for your studies in Canada. Also, after your studies conclude, you'll get a Post Graduate Work Permit which will enable you to get a years work experience in Canada. These put together should be adequate to get you to the front of the line in express entry. So you can plan accordingly.
I applied all by myself, without any Consultants, with months of studying previous cases and the wise counsel offered in this forum. If I have my visa today, its thanks to all the good people who shared their experiences here.
