The quantity of Nigerian international students studying in Canada is increasing every year, and now Canada is presenting another test case program expected to help speed up the study permit application process.
The Nigeria students Express (NSE) pilot is for Nigerians who have been accepted to a Canadian post-secondary institution, as indicated by immigration refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Qualified candidates need to have been accepted to a bachelor's, master or doctorate qualification program, or a post-graduate diploma course.
Canada is aiming to shorten study permit processing for Nigerians from an average of about two months to 20 days through the NSE.
"Nigeria student Express is a pilot activity at our Visa Office (VO) in Lagos planned for improving preparing times for study permit candidates in Nigeria who are planning to learn at the college level in Canada," IRCC said in a tweet, "It was acquainted with imminent students and their parents at EduCanada fairs in Abuja and Lagos in January 2020."
NSE has some comparative highlights to the Understudy Direct Stream (SDS), which additionally has a 20-day processing standard for study permit candidates.
One key difference is that the NSE only applies to Nigerian applicants who have been accepted to degree programs or post-graduate studies at a Canadian designated learning institution. On the other hand, SDS is available to all post-secondary study permit applicants residing in the following seven countries: China, India, Morocco, Pakistan, Philippines, Senegal or Vietnam.
“With NSE, prospective students who have a letter of admission for a Bachelor, Master’s or PhD degree program, or other graduate-level studies, at a Canadian designated learning institution may apply using a secure financial verification system, MyBank, to show that they have sufficient funds for their studies in Canada.
Nigerian migration to Canada has been booming in recent years. In 2019, Nigerians were the fourth most represented nationality among new permanent residents.
An impressive number of Nigerians pick Canada as a position of study. A year ago a sum of 11,985 examination license holders were from Nigeria, making it the ninth most mainstream source nation for international students.
