It looks like student visas
for Canada could be put on hold for up to six months
If you're an Indian student looking to study in Canada, you
might have to wait a bit longer after 41 diplomats left the country and
services were shut down in three Indian cities.
a lot of students in India
are considering places like the US or Europe right now, especially after a
Khalistani leader threatened Indians.
Students
from India who are planning on studying in Canada are now facing a long wait
for their visa applications after Canada cut back on its diplomatic staff last
week, according to education consultants. They said that the process of getting
a Canadian student visa can take up to 6 months or more.
Canada has
recalled 41 diplomats from India ahead of an October 20 deadline imposed by New
Delhi to limit Canada's diplomatic presence in the South Asian nation. Canada
has suspended visa and consular services at its Chandigarh consulate, Mumbai
consulate, and Bengaluru consulate, and they'll only be available at the
Canadian Embassy in New Delhi.
Relations
between India and Canada have been on the downhill slide ever since Justin
Trudeau accused Indian agents of being involved in the killing of a prominent
Khalistani extremist in British Columbia last month. India denied the
accusations.
The overseas consultant has been inundated with inquiries from students
regarding the availability of their planned university courses in January and
May.
Despite
this, IRCC Canada reported that 89% of India's applications were processed
through the international network.
Canada
hosts an impressive population of Indian students, accounting for 41 percent of
the country's total international student population.
Canada’s
visa processes continue to follow established guidelines despite the diplomatic
fallout, consultants said. This reassurance should come as a relief to Indian
students who, despite facing delays, can continue with their regular visa
applications in pursuit of their academic aspirations, they said.
We reported
earlier that many Indian students are considering alternatives such as the
United States or Australia, particularly after a khalistani leader threatened Indians.
Of course,
changing your study location abroad is not that simple and requires
re-evaluating things like tuition fees, accommodation costs, and day-to-day
costs.
