What are the chances of visa approval for my profile in Canada currently?
Yes, your profile is strong for a Canadian study permit, given your high academic scores and relevant work experience.
However, your visa approval will depend on:
- IELTS score: You need to meet the minimum English language requirement (typically 6.5 overall, with no band below 6.0; some programs may require higher).
- Financial proof: You must show funds for tuition and at least CAD 22,895 (subject to change) for living expenses.
- Timely application: For September 2026 intake, submit your application as soon as possible to allow for processing.
Completing your IELTS and preparing all documents promptly will help maximize your approval chances. Reach out to your LeapScholar counsellor if you need support with next steps.
More expert answers
Yes, Canada has become more difficult for student visa approval, especially for Indian applicants. In 2025, the rejection rate for Indian student visas rose sharply to about 80%, up from 23% in 2024. This increase is mainly due to stricter scrutiny, concerns about fraudulent documents, and a cap on the number of study permits.
A 2026 audit also highlighted integrity concerns despite previously high approval rates, especially under the Student Direct Stream (SDS).
To improve your chances, ensure your application is thorough, with genuine documents and a clear study plan. If you need tailored guidance, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
