Canada student visa is a dream of each and every Indian

student. Canada being the most desirable and hot favorite
country by Indian students provides very easy rules and
regulations for applying student visa. Here is a Canada student
visa process for students.
The students after completing their Grade 12 or Graduation can apply
Online for Canadian Institution they are interested in. They can go to the
portal of that particular institution and can browse various options and
programs available related to their field. Students can also visit the V
Future Step website for exploring the countries and programs which will
be very helpful to them in deciding what program should they study or
which country they should apply for. Once they are clear about country
and program, they can send an email to the international recruitment
department of that institution with their documents requesting the
institution to let them know if they are eligible for any program in that
institution.

Once students send in the request for applying to particular institution
with their documents, personal details and academic details, then the
Canadian institution will check the eligibility of those students whether
they are meeting the requirements of that particular institution or
program the students have applied for. If the student is eligible for
applying to an institution with overall requirements then the
requirements of the program are checked if student has selected any
program. If the student has not selected any program then the officer
who is evaluating the eligibility of the student gives them the program
options to choose.

received students’ documents and the request for applying to their

institution for requested intake. The application fee will also be deducted
for student’s application. There are many ways for students to pay their
application fee to institution. They can provide their credit card details to
institution when they send their complete application. The students can also

account. And there are also some platforms which provide the services to
transfer the money without any hassle for the students and institution like
