In this strange situation created by the pandemic, applying online (for Study Permit) is the only way. I prefer applying online because there is no waiting time to reach the application to IRCC and if somehow your application gets rejected, you won’t have to start from zero again! To apply online, you have to collect, scan, and organize lots of documents together. Then comes another hectic part where you must confine each document in 4 MB file size. I believe this document will help you prepare your documents in a very optimized way and you can do so in less than an hour.

Notes:

Now, I will explain the workflow. At this point, you should have all documents in softcopy (scanned image or pdf). Let’s start now! At first, the below diagram will give you a high-level idea about the steps. 


I hope you can save days during a very crucial time following this process. However, I got a lot of help from this community and I will be forever grateful! And sorry for any mistakes in this document.


Best of luck to all the applicants!
