| Of late, lot many students in this part of India could not make it to the country of their choice due to ‘fraudulent documentation’ by some unscrupulous student visa consultants. This has made high commissions and embassies in India extra vigilant and strict in visa issuance. As a positive development, the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi is shortly coming up with a pilot project, a new documentation process, which would enable a student procure a visa within just seven to ten days. Following the racial attack in Australia, Canada is now making concerted efforts to attract more and more Indian students to its universities and colleges. Canadian universities are ranked very high in the world and its education system is also very good. The problem is how to get there. The reason why more students prefer the US universities is because America has a very flexible visa system. Especially, they have entry level exams like the GRE, GMAT, TOEFL and IELTS. The American Embassy tends to give very relaxed visas to good students. On the other hand, the Canadian system is not that relaxed but the quality of education system in that country is very good; one of the topmost in the world. As far visas are concerned, both the countries have been very different right from the very beginning. About 80,000 students go to the US every year as compared to 3000-5000 to Canada. Whereas the Americans are tightening student visa rules, the Canadians are relaxing. Strictness in one country is not going to affect the situation in the other country. Now the Indian students has to produce proper records for the process of the visa and remember only prospective students will be taken. Also go for good agent without any fraudulent documentation. |
