FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — Study in Canada 2026

Everything you need to know about studying in Canada — from IELTS requirements to PR timelines.

What is the minimum IELTS score for Canada student visa in 2026?
There is no single IRCC minimum IELTS requirement for the study permit itself — your institution sets the minimum. Most Canadian universities require IELTS Academic 6.0–6.5 overall for UG, and 6.5–7.0 for Master's programs. For PGWP eligibility after graduation, you need CLB 7 (approx. IELTS 6.0 in each band) for university programs. PTE Core and TOEFL are also widely accepted. CELPIP is accepted by some institutions.
How long does Canada study permit processing take in 2026?
Since the Student Direct Stream (SDS) was discontinued in November 2024, all applications go through the standard route. Processing time is approximately 3–6 weeks for most applicants. PhD applicants may qualify for 14-day fast-track processing. Apply at least 4 months before your intended start date to be safe. Our team ensures your application is complete and error-free to avoid delays.
What is a PGWP and how long can I work in Canada after graduation?
The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows you to work in Canada after completing your studies. Master's and PhD graduates from public universities receive a 3-year PGWP regardless of program length. Bachelor's degree graduates receive 1–3 years depending on program length. College diploma graduates must be on IRCC's approved PGWP-eligible program list. As of 2026, you must also provide language test scores (CLB 7 for university, CLB 5 for college) when applying for PGWP.
Which Canadian province is best for Indian students seeking PR?
It depends on your profile. For Atlantic provinces (NB, NS, PEI, NL) — Atlantic Immigration Program offers faster PR with lower competition. For Manitoba and Saskatchewan — PNP programs have more provincial slots and lower CRS cut-offs. For Ontario and BC — competitive but stronger job market and Express Entry chances. For Quebec — French-language advantage and lower CRS for French draws. Our consultants analyse your profile and recommend the best province based on your program, budget, and PR timeline.
How much money do I need to show for a Canada student visa?
You need: (1) First year tuition fees paid, (2) A Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) of CAD 20,635 mandatory as of 2025, (3) Proof of funds for additional living expenses. A GIC is a special bank deposit in Canada that proves you have living expenses covered. It's opened with a Canadian bank before your visa application. Our team guides you through the entire GIC process.
Can Indian students work while studying in Canada?
Yes. International students on a valid study permit can work up to 20 hours per week during semesters and full-time (unlimited hours) during scheduled academic breaks and holidays. Average hourly wages range from CAD 16–22 depending on the city and role. This part-time income significantly offsets living costs. Many students earn CAD 1,200–1,400/month part-time.
What is the difference between studying at a university vs college in Canada for PR?
Universities (Bachelor's, Master's, PhD) offer a 3-year PGWP with no field restrictions — any job qualifies for Express Entry. Colleges (Diplomas/Certificates) offer a PGWP only if the program is on IRCC's approved list — and the job must be related to the field of study for Express Entry. University route is slower (4 years UG vs 2 years diploma) but more flexible for PR. College route is faster to PR but carries more risk if your program is removed from the eligible list.

Our Canada services include: IELTS/PTE/CELPIP coaching, university shortlisting based on your profile and PR goals, SOP and LOR writing, study permit application and document preparation, GIC assistance, pre-departure orientation, and PGWP + Express Entry guidance after you arrive in Canada.
