Indian students have seen a substantial increase in the number of their Canada student visa applications being turned down by the Canadian government in recent days. According to reports, the rejection rate for Canada student visa permits has risen to around 60% in recent days.

Since the Covid-19 limits and air travel prohibition were abolished in 2021, there has been an increase in Canada’s rejection of student visa permits. But notably during the last two days, rejection has increased dramatically, according to students.

According to reports, those who had IELTS scores between 6.5 and 7 as well as a strong academic record and financial stability were also turned down.

According to a CBC News article, roughly a million of the over two million outstanding applications for temporary residents and permanent residents (PR) in Canada were from India. The survey also noted that, as of June 29, Canada has a backlog of more than 2.4 million immigration applications, up from 1.8 million applications in March.

Here is why student visas are being rejected

According to a CBC News article, roughly a million of the over two million outstanding  applications for temporary residents and permanent residents (PR) in Canada were from India. The survey also noted that, as of June 29, Canada has a backlog of more than 2.4 million immigration applications, up from 1.8 million applications in March.

According to experts, the decline in interest in Australia and New Zealand has led to a massive increase in student visa applications for Canada.

These abrupt increases in visa applications may be the cause of a large number of rejections and delays in visa acceptance. Notably, it now takes a lengthy 9–12 months to complete a Canada student visa application for Canada.

Experts have also attributed the increased rejection of student visa permits to a high pendency rate for applications in several categories, fraudulent evidence submitted by students in some circumstances, and licensing concerns with particular private universities.

Pending Applications

Differential treatment in international student recruiting and acceptance rates between Quebec versus the rest of Canada is the subject of a report from the Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration that was presented to the Canadian House of Commons in May.

According to this data, the total number of Study Permit Applications from India that were rejected and those that were processed in 2021 were 91,439 and 225,402, respectively. The rejection rate was close to 41%.

In the case of India, there have been 96,378 requests for permanent residency, while there have been 430,286 requests for temporary residence. The biggest number of applications pending in the globe as a whole was 9,56,950.

The data states that from 2,64,625 in 2016 to 4,02,427 in 2019, the number of study visa permits climbed by 52%, reaching its greatest level since the study visa program for Canada’s began.

However, compared to 2020, when Canada had given 2,56,740 study permits, there was a 36% decline because of the Covid-19 pandemic’s effects on travel and access to services to submit the necessary papers for a complete application.

Here are some tips for avoiding rejection
