Would the visa process be easy given that I have heard about 70 to 80 percent rejection rates?

No, the Canadian student visa process is currently quite strict, with rejection rates for Indian applicants around 74% in 2025 - much higher than previous years. This is mainly due to tougher fraud checks, stricter proof-of-funds requirements, and fewer study permits being issued (subject to change).

To improve your chances:
- Ensure your financial documents are clear and verifiable, showing at least CAD 20,635 (living expenses only, subject to change).
- Prepare a strong study plan linking your background to your chosen program and career.
- Aim for strong language test scores.
- Apply only to Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs).
