Canada SDS Closed: Regular Processing for Study Visa Applications<\/strong><\/h1>\n

IRCC sent shock waves with a sudden announcement. Canada SDS Closed: Regular Processing for Study Visa Applications<\/strong>. As per the new update, the country has stopped expediting the processing of study visa applications submitted via Student Direct Stream (SDS)<\/strong> on Nov 08, 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, study visa applications will be processed as per the regular timeline of 8 to 12 weeks. Besides, SDS is just for citizens of 14 eligible countries. So, in any case, applicants from the rest of the countries were getting regular study visa processing.<\/p>\n

Thus, shock waves may have been sent, but they will not have much of an impact on the processing of Canada study visa applications. It is just that no country is getting special treatment under a particular visa stream.<\/p>\n
