International students who are homeless in North Bay come to an agreement with Canadore College

Leave a commentPosted on Author By Ravi Pula

Homeless international students from North Bay set up tents in front of Canadore College on Tuesday night because they had nowhere else to go.  Between 50 and 100 students were thought to be enrolled in classes but without a place to stay. Given that their tuition prices are so much higher than those of domestic students, they requested a reduction in housing expenses from $700 – $1,600 per month to around $250 – $630 per month.

After putting up a tough front for 24 hours, the college administration has agreed to the students’ requests. The college management has guaranteed the students that reasonable housing will be provided, the whole tuition will be refunded without any deductions, and the student’s classes will be offered online in accordance with IRCC regulations.

In a release, Canadore said that all of the students who participated in the rallies this week at the Commerce Court Campus are currently being sheltered and they are working continuously with all students to find appropriate accommodation.

Can I change my status from a visitor to a Student in Canada?

Canada’s allure captivates countless visitors, with many finding themselves irresistibly drawn to the country’s exceptional education and abundant opportunities. Although originally intended as a temporary stay, individuals often develop a profound affection for Canada, leading them to explore avenues for pursuing higher education. Here we shed light on the process of switching status from visitor to student in Canada, exemplified by our client Rushi’s inspiring journey.

The Visitor’s Dilemma:

Rushi, our valued client, arrived in Canada with the intention of staying temporarily. However, during his stay, he experienced a desire to delve deeper into his academic pursuits and avail himself of Canada’s outstanding educational system.

Recognizing his newfound ambition, Rushi approached us, seeking guidance on his transition from visitor to student and our seasoned team of experts embarked on addressing the complexities surrounding Rushi’s status in Canada and devising a compelling argument to facilitate his transition.

Navigating the Study Permit Process:

The process of switching from a visitor to a student in Canada requires careful adherence to immigration regulations and policies. We evaluated Rushi’s eligibility for a study permit, ensuring all necessary documentation was accurately compiled and submitted.

Demonstrating Genuine Study Intentions:

Central to Rushi’s successful application was the articulation of his authentic study intentions ( study plan). Our team diligently worked with Rushi to craft a persuasive case, emphasizing his commitment to pursuing further education in Canada. By highlighting his academic goals, career aspirations, and passion for contributing to his home country, India, we bolstered his study permit application.

Addressing Concerns and Overcoming Hurdles:

Every immigration journey involves its unique challenges, and Rushi’s case was no exception. We tackled potential obstacles head-on, meticulously addressing any concerns regarding his previous visitor status and potential implications on his study permit application. Our proactive approach and comprehensive documentation helped alleviate any doubts, securing a smooth transition for Rushi.

A Celebrated Success:

With dedication and expertise, we assisted Rushi in his pursuit of a study permit. IRCC recognized the sincerity of his intentions and granted him permission to embark on his educational voyage in the country he had grown to cherish.

While transitioning from a visitor to a student in Canada can be an exciting prospect, it necessitates thorough preparation and adherence to crucial factors.

Essential Considerations for Study Permit Applications

  • Proof of Funds:

A paramount aspect of your study permit application is demonstrating your financial capability to support your stay in Canada. The Canadian immigration authorities require tangible proof that you possess sufficient funds to cover your living expenses, tuition fees, and all associated study costs.

By providing comprehensive documentation of your financial resources, you enhance the likelihood of a successful study permit application.

  • Purpose of Study:

When choosing your study program, it is essential to establish a clear and meaningful connection between your academic pursuits in Canada and your future plans in your home country. These should be clearly articulated in your study plan.

Keep in mind that a study permit is a temporary residence visa, and the authorities seek assurance that your education in Canada will positively contribute to your return to your home country. Articulating the relevance of your chosen program to your career aspirations and personal growth strengthens your application.

  • Proof of Ties to Your Home Country

An integral element in your study permit application is demonstrating significant ties to your home country. These ties may encompass family relationships, business engagements, employment opportunities, landed assets, or financial assets. Presenting robust evidence of these ties assures the Canadian authorities that you have genuine intentions to return home upon completion of your studies. Highlighting your commitments and connections in your home country bolsters the credibility of your application.

Remember, the option to submit an application for a study permit remains available to you while you are present within the confines of Canada, without leaving Canada as long as you hold a valid status. However, your application will still be processed outside of Canada once submitted.

Rushi’s transformation from a visitor to a student exemplifies the multitude of opportunities Canada offers to those who dare to dream and aspire for more.
