November 8, 2024 — Canada is committed to providing all international students equal and fair access to the study permit application process.
The Student Direct Stream (SDS), which was launched in 2018 to expedite processing for eligible post-secondary students, and the Nigeria Student Express (NSE) for prospective university students from Nigeria, ended on November 8, 2024.
Going forward, students should apply through the regular study permit stream, which accepts Guaranteed Investment Certificates as proof of financial support.
