Canada ends fast-track student visas, big blow to applicants from India

With effect from Friday, November 8, 2024, Canada has abruptly ended its popular Student Direct Stream (SDS) program, which has facilitated the expeditious acquisition of visas for thousands of overseas students.

The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) introduced the SDS in 2018 with the goal of streamlining the visa application process for students who met certain conditions from 14 countries, including China, India, and the Philippines.
