Choose SDS or Non-SDS Track

PupilAbroad assesses your profile and recommends SDS (Student Direct Stream) for faster 20-day processing if you have IELTS 6.0+, GIC of CAD 10,000, and full first-year tuition paid. Non-SDS suits students with different English tests or complex financial profiles.

03

Arrange GIC (SDS Students)

Open a Guaranteed Investment Certificate of CAD 10,000 with an approved Canadian bank. PupilAbroad guides you through the GIC opening process remotely from Hyderabad.

04

Submit Online Visa Application (IRCC)

Create your IRCC account, upload all documents — LOA, GIC, IELTS, financial proof, SOP, and medical exam. Pay the CAD 150 processing fee and submit biometrics at the VFS centre in Hyderabad.

Most Canadian universities require IELTS 6.0 to 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0 for undergraduate programs. Graduate programs typically need 6.5 to 7.0. For SDS visa track, a minimum of IELTS 6.0 is required. Some universities also accept TOEFL (80-90 iBT), PTE Academic, or Duolingo English Test as alternatives. PupilAbroad helps you identify universities that match your current English test scores.
SDS is an expedited visa processing track for students from India. It requires IELTS 6.0 or higher, a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) of CAD 10,000, and full first-year tuition paid upfront. SDS applications are typically processed within 20 calendar days compared to 8-12 weeks for Non-SDS. PupilAbroad assesses your profile to determine the best visa track.
Yes. Your Canadian study permit automatically allows you to work up to 20 hours per week during academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks (summer, winter). This is an off-campus work right included in your study permit — no separate work permit needed. Many students from Hyderabad working part-time in Canada cover a significant portion of their living expenses.
The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows you to work anywhere in Canada for any employer after graduation. Its duration depends on your program length — programs of 2+ years qualify for a 3-year PGWP. This Canadian work experience then qualifies you for Permanent Residency through Express Entry's Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP).
For SDS track: CAD 10,000 GIC plus full first-year tuition paid. For Non-SDS track: you must show sufficient funds to cover 12 months of living expenses (approximately CAD 10,000) plus tuition fees. PupilAbroad provides a detailed financial documentation checklist based on your specific situation — education loans from Indian banks are widely accepted.
Canada has a high student visa approval rate for well-prepared applications from India. The SDS track has particularly strong approval rates when all criteria are met. PupilAbroad maintains an excellent visa success record by ensuring SOP quality, thorough financial documentation, and proper IELTS preparation before submission. We conduct mock visa interviews to prepare you for any officer questions.
Yes. If your study permit is for a program of 6 months or more at a designated post-secondary institution, your spouse or common-law partner may be eligible for an open spousal work permit — allowing them to work for any Canadian employer. Dependent children may attend Canadian primary and secondary schools. PupilAbroad advises on the full family immigration pathway for studying in Canada.
