Extend Stay in Canada

Being home to many famous Colleges and Universities, Canada is one of the most preferred destinations to pursue higher studies. As Canada is the hub of academic excellence, many Canadian academic institutions are ranked amongst the top 50 across the globe. University of Toronto, University of British Columbia and McGill University are some examples of top Canadian universities, which are in the list of top academic institutions according to QS ranking.

Now, Canada has launched a new program- SDS (the Student Direct Stream) to speed up the time of visa processing to apply for full-time courses at Canadian Colleges or Universities. By this, chances to get quality education with easy visa process for Indian students has been increased.
