Applying For a Student Visa: who you are trying to fool?
_1.jpg)
much for asking this because people from australia france generally europe uh many other countries, uh, can visit canada without visa with what we call eta electronic travel authorization and uh, which, by the way, was introduced rather recently in on a scale of time, uh it's like 10 years, but what we're talking about is requirement for visa, which is not just visitation rights, visa granted for students based on application, and that's why we call it visa, for everyone is required because uh students must obtain authorization to study in canada while they overseas. Yes, it is required still yeah okay, so the government of canada um recently announced the increase of uh funds requirements right for students to apply and many are upset about it. Um can you please comment it well. Well, first of all, it's it's! It's a double-sided work right, so why? Because on one hand, students attracted to canada, because canada allows students to work outside of campus for certain time and make some money on the side. At the same time, uh situation became rather critical, uh because uh many I would say uh, especially loway jobs. They abuse the situation. Uh, like people working in a fast food, restaurant somewhere else, uh, usually paid a little and exploited a lot, and in this case, what we observe uh. If people feel more independent, uh like they have savings or parents support them, they definitely not uh, subject to exploitation and definitely not subject to that kind of abuse. So the motivation, the good motivation from the government side is there. We can confirm that by practice, but at the same time uh raising the bar of leing expense is contradictory to what government is fighting, because government announced that students are the problem for high real estate cost and rentals.
Well, there is disbalance there right so and we we definitely uh, see this as a positive uh sign to have people uh who have more savings, so they don't have to do uh low pay, uh job out of desperation, but at the same time uh we would love to see government finding more um, I would say compellent reasons and language to explain it because they made a lot of people upset, but I guess this government is what it is uh. They don't know how to do politics so uh when students counting on postgraduation uh work. Permit is a default option yeah. Is it the correct expectation? No, it's a wrong expectation. Thank you for asking that question maria. Why it's wrong, because people attracted by sales agencies and this kind of middleman all over the world, we observe it. They promis postgraduate work permit automatically by default, which is not true, and people have to be extremely extremely careful, and especially in the light of recent changes of this year, government announced that uh new regulatory requirements will be imposed on postgrad work. Permit so select the institution. According to your plans, because many people go for co program which does not provide postgraduate work permit in this case they they on their own.
You have to understand that and many people from uh what we call easy to get in countries like japan. They come in here and if they want to stay, they then realize that they need postgraduate work permit and they don't have it. So, no, it's not by theault fault. You have to be extremely careful on selecting the program if I'm an adult with extensive work, experience, uh, family and significant uh savings. Okay, uh is my study. Visa is a guaranteed way to uh permanent residency. No, no! No! No! No maria, uh, very good question. We hear this a lot from mature people who actually uh achieve something in their life. Let's say: build a career, um, I I guess have some savings and ready to uh undertake some study. Don't forget. This is direct implication of dual intent, because your career will become the obstacle on your way here, because government of canada will say well you a chief engineer, why you want to study art,
and you have to prove that your change in interest in life is solid and uh not just groundless, so you have to be absolutely uh careful and sometimes especially if we have uh people like you describe maria, we can definitely find some alternatives to expensive and sometimes useless study, especially considering that people can be rejected right from the beginning at application. Level- and this is something they have to think twice about, because a not every program is working for them uh again, their life goals must be absolutely clearly uh presented, ed and understood, and then we can find solution coming back to dual intent: cla uh, why people always ignore it well because that's human nature to see what they wish to see right, so basically how it works. Uh people ignore uh, red flags and obvious signs, and sometimes advisory. They listen to someone who probably did something before and uh dual intent is something that government is looking for. First and foremost. Why? Well because dual intent is a prevention mechanism, they want to see if the person will stay in canada and somebody can argue well. Of course, I will stay in canada.
That's why I'm applying to study, but that's exactly that works against them. So, yes, dual intention uh: is there pretty much for every student with minor minor exemptions but at the same time uh why people ignore it? Well, I guess: uh for two reasons: um I, guess, illiteracy, because they don't know the law and they don't know how it works and sometimes uh.
They try to save money on advisers who can advise them professionally under the license and uh with all responsibility for what they say and that's why, when people comeing to us what we, what we call broken uh they all already coming after someone broke them and their life and their immigration history, so the best advice to avoid dual intent. Mistakes is to work with people who know what to do. The canadian government uh put a cup on study visas. Is there a better alternative for uh study visa for both young and um uh? Adult st students yeah, we we concern very much concerned marie about that and for those who listening and watching I I can tell you this. The cap is a measure uh that I think is counterproductive. It's my personal opinion and probably our professional opinion here, but the cap um is allowing uh government to um to control the situation a little better to make life easier for officers overseas, because the demand uh for canada ed canadian education was used to be uh very high, and definitely uh people considered canada as a way opposed to australia for examp example of britain as the way to stay here for permanent residency now government is claiming that it's their fault and it's unfair uh in my view, but despite all that uh and considering the fact that the government put a cap uh, we see side effect of this as well uh many institutions will not survive and if you watch another video we just recently recorded many uh institutions will fall and die.
They see here and that's something that we have to also acknowledge as negative impact of canadian government decision. But is there better alternative maria? Yes, it is uh, we're definitely talking to people with uh, bright education already there uh with experience, sometimes or maybe young professionals, or maybe even young students, and they have ideas and they have plans and they have sometimes um very short time on their hands, because they want to do something right away and definitely become canadians uh with a faster path than uh going to study for years and hope for the work to be completed and then hope that will be selected on the co. What we call common a path of express entry of some sort, so the startup visa alternative- is something that you need to consider very
seriously and that's what we're talking about with many students, adults and young students and young professional, because sometimes it's unachievable for them to be here and study for years and years and just live with the hope, because life is going by and they want a stable life, stable, family, stable relationship and it's impossible on a temporary basis. So that's why startup vis are probably the great alternative.
