Overview
Student Direct Stream (SDS) has ended. IRCC ended SDS (and Nigeria Student Express) effective 2:00 pm ET on November 8, 2024. New study permit applications now follow the standard study permit process.
What to do instead
- Apply under the regular study permit pathway and focus on strong documentation: acceptance, funds, study intent, and ties.
How we support you
We guide SDS-eligible profiles through the standard process with a stronger evidence approach (study plan clarity + financial presentation).
