In an important update, Canada has discontinued the Student Direct Stream (SDS) and Nigeria Student Express (NSE), eliminating previously expedited study visa options for Nigerian students. All Nigerian applicants must now apply via Canada’s standard study permit process, facing longer processing times but retaining the Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) option as financial proof. This shift underscores Canada’s changing visa strategies, impacting thousands of students.
IZONN Immigration in Indore, a top consultancy for international education, assists students in adapting to these new procedures, ensuring their applications meet updated requirements and timelines.
