Student Partners Program SPP in India

The Student Partners Program (SPP) commonly termed as Students Partnership Program by the students and study abroad consultants in India was implemented in partnership between the Canadian High Commission and the Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC).

Highlights of the Student Partners Program Canada are:

· The Student Partners Program SPP is open to Indian nationals only.

· The students apply to the participating college and not to the SPP program directly. The students are admitted if they meet the specific criterion of the participating college/s.

· The acceptance of the application under SPP program is at the sole discretion of the participating Canadian college. Therefore, the students are required to contact the participating college for information/

· The Student Partners Program involves close cooperative partnership and feedback from the participating colleges to ensure student compliance with the terms of their study permits.

· Essential to the program feedback mechanism is the student's consent for the institution to provide information on attendance. The student must sign the consent declaration on the SPP checklist in order to be processed under this program.

· For the SPP program, all Study Permit application checklists have been revised and improved and hence the process has been simplified.

The visa applications should be submitted to Canadian High Commission by 01 August for September intake and by 01 December for January intake. Applications for a Study Permit received after August 15 for programs beginning in September or after December 15 for the ones beginning in January will not normally be processed in time for the start of class and will likely be refused.
