Success: Study Permit (PAL) – 19 days

Over the past 8 months, IRCC has increased the number of Study Permit refusals. We have published posts on the new restrictions that have been added to cut the number of international students in Canada. IRCC Minister Marc Miller has announced that he wants to significantly reduce the number of private colleges and “puppy mills” across the country. Financial requirements have also increased. Thankfully, despite these new roadblocks, we are still able to get positive decisions for our clients – quickly! Our client’s application was processed by the Visa Office in Nigeria and approved after only 19 days.

Congratulations to our client for her positive result – after only 19 days. From our team at CIL, it is our privilege for us to guide our clients to successful result. In this case, Kristina poured hours and hours into the file to prepare and submit a beautiful package.

Our client is, of course, thrilled to come and study in Canada. Previously, she hired an agent and her Study Permit application was refused. We had to address the Officer’s concerns, obtain a new PAL from the Province of Manitoba, and provide a strong Study Plan. Our plan worked.

This is the feedback from our client’s sponsor:

Indeed it is a good day. Well done to you, Alastair and your team. [She] is relieved, she can now continue her dream of a Canadian education.

We know that getting a Study Permit in 2024 will be difficult. The OICs that led to easy decisions have all expired. We speak with potential clients every day who need professional help. We cannot help everyone. Our time is limited. For those who can afford our services, we give them the best chance as a positive result.
