Canada, due to its excellent higher education opportunities and flexible immigration rules, has become a favorite destination for international students. However, in recent times, visa rules for Indian students and immigrants have been getting stricter. The Canadian government has taken this step with the aim of controlling visa fraud, illegal migration, and other criminal activities. Especially, the incidents of misuse of Canadian visas by Indians and illegal migration to other countries with wrong intentions have made the Canadian government more vigilant.

This article will discuss in detail the Canadian visa rules for Indian students and tourists, the recent strict rules, and the reality of studying and migrating abroad.

Increasing Visa Difficulties in Canada: An Important Issue

In the last few years, there has been a significant increase in the number of students and immigrants from India going to Canada. The allure of higher education, employment opportunities, and Permanent Residence (PR) has attracted Indians to Canada. But, it has been seen that some immigrants have taken the path of illegal entry or asylum in other countries through Canadian visa. This has forced the Canadian government to tighten visa rules for Indians.

Increasing number of illegal migration and refugees

After obtaining visas in Canada, some Indians are trying to enter the United States of America (USA) illegally. For this, they are using the border between Canada and America, which provides an option to avoid relatively easy and dangerous methods. These incidents are increasing and due to this the governments of both Canada and the United States have become concerned.

Many Indians, who travel on Canadian tourist visas, are trying to stay illegally in the United States. In addition, some Indians have misused Canadian transit flights to seek refuge in the United Kingdom (UK). Due to this, the Canadian government has not only made the processing of visas more stringent, but has also tightened the scrutiny and review of applications for Indians.

Recent strict rules

Canada has recently changed the rules for obtaining visas for Indian students and tourists. Now, those applying for visas are subjected to a thorough background check, and strict scrutiny is done on their intentions. Applicants have to prove that their purpose of visiting Canada is only legitimate, be it studies, job, or tourism.

The main reason for this strictness is that some people were using the Canadian visa only as a means to enter other countries illegally. Therefore, now the Canadian government is taking steps to ensure that visas are provided only to those whose intentions are correct and legitimate.

Canada Visa Rules for Indian Students

Getting a visa for higher education in Canada has now become even more difficult, especially for those students who want to go to Canada on the pretext of studies and plan to settle there permanently or enter other countries illegally. The Canadian government has taken strict measures to ensure that only students with the right intentions can get the visa.

  1. Changes related to study visa and work permit:
  • As mentioned earlier, obtaining a study visa has become more challenging than before for students wishing to study in Canada. Applicants will have to prove not only admission in educational institutions, but also their financial status, and intention to return from Canada.
  • Work permit rules have also been tightened. Now, only those students will be able to get work permit who are studying in DLI (Designated Learning Institutions) of Canada. Apart from this, work permit opportunities have also been limited for students studying in some private colleges.
  1. Strict monitoring of fake documentation and fraud:
  • Due to the increase in incidents of use of fake documents by Indian students, the Canadian government has further tightened the visa application process.
  • All documents submitted during visa application are thoroughly checked and if any fraud is found, the applicant may not only be denied a visa but may also be banned.
  1. Intensive scrutiny of financial status and bank statements:
  • Indian students will now have to prove that they have sufficient financial resources to live and study in Canada. Bank statements and financial certificates are being thoroughly scrutinized to ensure that students can remain financially self-sufficient during their studies.
  1. Strict monitoring of the application process:
  • At the time of visa application, students may be called for an interview. During this interview, their intentions are checked and it is ensured that they are actually going to Canada for the purpose of pursuing education and not to enter other countries illegally.
  1. Biometrics and security checks:
  • All visa applicants are now required to provide biometric data (fingerprints and photos). Along with this, their previous travels, criminal records, and other activities are thoroughly checked as part of the security check.

Misuse of Canada Visa to Go to Other Countries: A Growing Problem

  1. Illegal Migration to the United States:

A trend is emerging among Indian immigrants where they are attempting to enter the United States illegally using Canadian visas. This migration is done by misusing the border between Canada and the US, which is relatively easy to cross. The open border between the US and Canada provides an easy route for migrants who wish to avoid dangerous sea or other routes.

  1. Use of Transit for Asylum in the United Kingdom:

Another method among Indian immigrants is that they are attempting to seek asylum in the UK by using Canadian transit flights. Instead of flying directly from Canada to the UK, they first land in Canada and then reach the UK from there using transit flights. This trend has alerted the governments of both the UK and Canada.

Correct Methods to Get a Visa

  1. Use of Verifiable Documents:
  • All documents during visa application must be prepared from correct and verifiable sources. Using fake documents may not only result in the visa application being rejected, but may also lead to difficulty in obtaining a visa to any country in the future.
  1. Clear intention:
  • While applying, make it clear that your intention is to study or work in Canada, and that you are applying for the right purpose. Filling the correct information in the application form is extremely important.
  1. Use authentic agents:
  • Many Indian students and immigrants take the services of agents for visa application. It is important to ensure that the agent you choose is legitimate and authentic. Many fake agents deceive students into submitting applications with fake documents, thereby hampering their visa application process.
