Is the Canadian student visa process only based on SOP or do they also check LORs in Canada?

No, the Canadian student visa process is not based only on your Statement of Purpose (SOP).

- SOP: Recommended to show your genuine intent to study in Canada, but not mandatory for the visa.
- LORs (Letters of Recommendation): Not required for the study permit application. Some universities may ask for LORs during admission, but they are not part of the visa process.
- Key document: The main requirement for the study permit is the Letter of Acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI).
