Canadian High Commission refused a large number of student visa applications, including the students with high scores in IELTS and those who are already enrolled for online study in Canadian colleges, are facing refusal. Now, these students will have to apply for student visas again.
Even students who are taking online classes after getting Visa Approval in Principle (AIP), meaning meeting the conditions for admission including clearing of IELTS and submitting a year’s fee, last year, are being refused, said consultants. Due to the pandemic and the suspension of direct flights to Canada, a tremendous backlog of students applying from India with about 3 to 3.5 lakh pending students and it’s difficult for Canada to accommodate such a tremendous number of students in just a few months.
Reasons for these denials?
1.Visas to students whose cases were not strong from their courses’ point of view or on the basis of their financial conditions were refused.
2.Students are given some time to prepare and accommodate the huge backlog in the coming 6-7 months as the visas are rejected in the first stage due to the difficulty level of completing years of work in few months.
3 “The other reasons for refusals include a student with a weak academic record, his score in IELTS and they opt for a difficult course and Secondly, an intelligent student face rejection as he opted an easy course, which he has already studied here.
Several students securing good marks in IELTS face refusals due to weak academic records.
Also, students’ academic profile and the good financial condition of their families play an important role.
