The Student Direct Stream (SDS) and the General Stream are two different pathways for international students to apply for a Canadian Study Permit. These pathways have varying requirements and processing times to help streamline the application process based on the student's country of residence and level of preparedness.
Student Direct Stream (SDS)
The Student Direct Stream is designed for students who are applying from certain countries and meet specific criteria to expedite the processing of their Study Permit applications. The SDS aims to provide a faster and more streamlined process for eligible students. To be eligible for the SDS, students typically need to demonstrate certain factors, including language proficiency, financial capacity, and acceptance to a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) in Canada.
Key features of the SDS:
Faster processing times: Applications under the SDS are generally processed more quickly than through the regular study permit application process.
Requirements: Apart from meeting the language and financial requirements, students may also need to undergo a medical examination.
Eligibility: The SDS is available for students applying from select countries, primarily focused on those in Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, and Central and South America.
General Stream
The General Stream is the standard study permit application process that applies to international students from all countries not covered by the SDS. It involves a more comprehensive evaluation of the student's application, including their intent to study, financial capacity, and other factors.
Key features of the General Stream:
Processing times: Processing times for the General Stream can vary depending on the volume of applications and individual circumstances.
Requirements: Students need to provide proof of acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), demonstrate sufficient funds to cover tuition fees, living expenses, and return transportation, and show ties to their home country to ensure their intent to return after studies.
English/French language proficiency: Depending on the language of instruction of the program, students may need to provide language test scores (such as IELTS or TOEFL) to demonstrate their proficiency.
