How to Avail SDS Scheme
The Government of Canada by implementing the student Direct Stream for Indian students wishing to study in Canada have opened the doors to come to Canada to study. Your Study Abroad consultant for Canada must prepare your application carefully. The admission process is very crucial for visa to be successful under SDS Scheme. The SDS Scheme refers to the visa documentation of the visa file not the admission process. It mentions that the student must be enrolled in a designated learning institute. Enrolling in a DLI institute in isolation does not mean that you would be getting your Canada study visa application successful. You need to enrol in a relevant course that shows your study and career progression clearly.
