What are your thoughts on Canada as a study destination considering current visa success rates?
10 Jul 2026 · Answered by Muskan Vashishtha · 1 min read
Visa success rates for Indian students in Canada have dropped sharply, with a 74% rejection rate in August 2025 (up from 32% in August 2023). This is mainly due to stricter screening under Canada's Temporary Resident Integrity Strategy, targeting fraud and irregular migration.
If you are considering Canada, be aware that applications are now much more competitive. To improve your chances:
- Apply only to Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs)
- Submit a clear, genuine study plan
- Provide strong financial documentation
- Show ties to India (such as property, job, or family)
Visa policies are subject to change.
