Visa introduction
Big sign: Big sign is just a statement, and its corresponding document is "study permit", which is a legal document for students to study and live in Canada. The validity period of the big sign generally depends on the length of study and the funds on the quotation. Generally speaking, when students enter Canada for the first time, they will get visas at the IRCC office at the airport.
Small sign: a small sign is actually an entry visa, which is what we generally call a "study visa." This is the student's permission to enter Canada. The validity period of small sign is generally less than or equal to the validity period of large sign. Small visas are generally applied for by students at visa application centers in China.
Generally speaking, the visa for studying abroad is valid (the so-called "expiration date"). Under normal circumstances, the expiration date given to you by CIC will be consistent with the entry visa (entry visa, commonly known as "small visa"). So, under what circumstances do you need to renew your study visa?
The first situation is the most common. Is that the student visa for high school students has expired. Because high school students generally get shorter study visas.
The second situation is when your graduation time needs to be postponed;
In the third case, it is common to want to stay in Canada for postgraduate study after graduation.

7. The admission notice sent to you by the school;

How to improve the pass rate
1. The choice of major has an impact on the visa.
Many people think that as long as the school confirms the admission of students, the visa officer will not care too much about the specific school. Actually this is a misunderstanding. The visa officer will not only carefully look at the situation here in the school, but also think.
Therefore, there should be a more obvious "undertaking relationship" in the choice of majors. Studying accounting in China and continuing to study accounting in Canada is normal for further study. It is meaningful to study European and American literature in China and Latin American literature in Canada. If you study abroad, you already have a certain span. Then you should prepare relevant convincing materials and evidence to prove to the visa officer that you can really "change careers" and learn well.
2. Whether the amount of fund reserves in this period is appropriate.
People have been asking us about the guarantee funds for visas to Canada, or how much money we have to prove to study abroad before we can meet the standards. In fact, Canada does not clearly stipulate how much money must be reached.
The essence of providing proof is to prove to the Canadian government that it can afford tuition and fees, living expenses and other expenses during studying in Canada. Generally speaking, Canada's supervision of funds is to "explain the capital history of 12 months". This does not mean that "a single large deposit has been deposited in 12 months". Many people think that it is wrong to deposit money in the bank 12 months before applying. In fact, as long as you can clearly explain the source and prove that the historical innocence cycle is correct, you don't need cash deposits. Demand, funds, wealth management products and dividend insurance can all be used as security funds.
3. The study plan must be reasonable and convincing.
The study abroad plan is mainly to state your purpose of studying abroad to the visa officer, and it is also the most important information for the visa officer to judge your purpose of studying abroad and whether you are inclined to emigrate. Under normal circumstances, visa officers in Canada will assume that all applicants for study visas have immigration purposes. All study plans have become important materials to avoid "immigration purposes".
In addition, visa officers should be made to understand that they have a clear understanding of Canada's education system, schools and majors, and have a clear purpose and study hard. Visa officers generally like "good boys" who are self-motivated. The most error-prone place in the study plan is not the emotional part of talking about ideas and looking forward to the future, but the place involving factual arguments. The facts must be completely consistent with the various materials submitted at the time of application, and there can be no discrepancy. Once there is any discrepancy, it may be judged as "untrue materials" and directly refused.
4. Language ability should be improved as much as possible.
In the visa for studying abroad, there are also languages that affect the judgment of visa officers. Proficiency in English and French is particularly important when studying in Canada. If you can't pass the language barrier, normal communication will be difficult, so what about learning? Moreover, in the Canadian study visa, the older the applicant is, the more the visa officer values the language.
Generally speaking, to study in Canada, IELTS is better than 5.5. If IELTS reaches 6.0, the visa officer's praise for you will increase obviously, and the probability of passing the customs will also increase greatly. Of course, super-high language ability is not a mandatory requirement, but a "bonus item" that is conducive to visa clearance.
