Student Direct Stream (SDS) – program ended
The Student Direct Stream ended on November 8, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. ET. The Nigeria Student Express also ended. Applications sent on or after that time are processed as regular study permit applications.
Students from all countries, including the former SDS countries, now apply through the regular study permit process. A Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) is still accepted as proof of financial support. Most students also need a provincial or territorial attestation letter (PAL/TAL).
