Important Tips for Study Abroad Canada Applications

Help, I'm Afraid I Might Make a Mistake on My Application!

Applying for a study program abroad can be a nerve-wrecking proposition, especially considering the stringent rules with respect to immigration and visa dispensation to prospective international students. With that in mind, we have scoured various official sources for useful tips and recommendations to keep in mind as you apply to Canadian post-secondary institutions.

Before you begin the application process, make sure to:
  • Start a Checklist to keep track of all the steps you must complete during this process.
  • Make sure you have all the forms you need to apply, both for schools and residence in Canada.
  • Read all the guides, information materials, and instructions before you begin filling out the forms.
  • Make a special folder with all the necessary documentation and copies of receipts, etc.
  • Make a copy of your blank forms to use as a rough draft or working copy. Keep this copy in your application folder mentioned above.
  • Fill in the forms thoroughly and with care. You want to make the deadlines, but you also want the correct information to be submitted, avoiding weeks of delay caused by communication or mailing time requesting corrections or additional information neglected the first time around. Use black ink or fill out the forms online if your circumstances permit.
  • Sign and date all application forms.
  • Determine the Citizenship & Immigration Canada (CIC) office where you will be submitting your application.
  • Verify the payment amounts and acceptable methods of payment with your CIC office.
  • Double check all the information above, getting somebody else to look at it to avoid typing errors, etc.
  • Submit the application.

Great lesson. Checklists are awesome! I’m a checklist kind of guy… it’ll all about folders and double-copies and being organized…

If you want to apply to become an international student in Canada, or anywhere probably, you better get organized. If you don’t remember where you put your form or when you have to mail it, you may end up right back where you started. Clean up your desk people!
