Why Process of Student Visa of Canada is lengthy and difficult ???

[freshgrad]

Hi,

I am new to this group and might be kind of irrelevant questions that I am going to ask, but I have to know the reason...

Why is that the process of applying student visa and getting part time/ odd job is so lengthy and difficult as compared to other countries...
Several of my friends went to germany... they didn't have to clear any medical or any other major processing hurdles (e.g. police clearance certificate, medical, etc)... the university send them the acceptance letter, they show the bank statements and within 10-15 days embassy gave them the visa... also they don't have any issues getting field job as well..

Also I found that several consultancy firms encourage us to apply either uk,australia or germany rather than canada... So why is that so difficult when it comes to apply in Canada.

If it is easy to get admission and get a good job in Europe side then why one would apply in Canada???

These might be silly questions but I am looking forward for some answers for clarification.

Europe Economy is in the dumpster and Canada has stuff like the PGWP route to PR. Pretty simple really.

Dude... Try applying in UK and Aus ...getting admission is breeze....I got Offer from 5 univ for July Intake in just 15-20 days and that tooo without SOP, Reference letter, GMAT nothing...
CANADA has some really good standard of education and they assess the Profile of Applicant minutely...

Simple answer. The path to permanent residency from a student visa in the UK and Australia is more difficult than in Canada.

The process is lengthy but not difficult. The canadians are not that concerned with the earnings from international students as european countries or Australia are. England treats international students as a major source of earning. But once you are in Canada and have permanent residency you will be better off than many people in other developed countries as far as standard of living is concerned.

The good thing is there is no racism and if you are legal the opportunities of employment are plenty. Only you have to search for it because no one brings job to your doorstep here.

Becoming a citizen is as good as other developed countries. Canadians like many other citizens of developed countries have a privilege of visa free entry in a long list of countries....

apart from having a better economy and provisions for PR after graduation, the possibility of bringing your entire family over (parents + siblings) has been the biggest attraction for prospective immigrants in the past and still is to some point. However, this may change in the future but Canada will still have the family class immigration for some time. Once they take that off the table, i bet immigration level (including students etc) will drop. Can't bring your parents over in UK, Aus etc and its very lengthy in the US like 10-15 years.

also, perhaps Canada wants to attract good students who value a canadian education rather than anybody who can get in within 10-15 days. as far as medicals are concerned, i dont see why that is a problem. surely, you dont want people with communicable diseases moving into your neighborhood, do you?
