After clearing IELTS, how do I proceed with the visa application in UK/Canada?

After clearing IELTS, your next step is to apply for a student visa for your chosen country.

For the UK:
- Accept your unconditional offer and receive your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) from the university.
- Prepare key documents: valid passport, CAS number, proof of funds, IELTS certificate, academic transcripts.
- Apply online for the UK Student visa (typical fee: £358, subject to change).
- Provide biometric information if required.
- Standard processing time is about 3 weeks.

For Canada:
- Obtain your Letter of Acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI).
- Prepare documents: valid passport, acceptance letter, proof of funds, IELTS score, and other requirements as needed.
- Apply online via the IRCC portal (typical fee: CAD 150, subject to change).
- Provide biometrics if requested.
- Processing times vary.

With your academic background and work experience, you are well-positioned for both countries. For personalized guidance on your next steps, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
