Canada Ends SDS and NSE Study Visa Streams

Author By EUIC Admin Categories News

Dear future neighbour,

On November 8, 2024, the Government of Canada announced that it is ending the Student Direct Stream (SDS), a program created to speed up the visa application process for international students from certain countries. Launched in 2018, the SDS was designed to help students from countries like China, India, and the Philippines get their study permits more quickly and easily.

To meet the high demand from Nigerian students, Canada created the Nigeria Student Express (NSE) program, offering a faster way for Nigerian applicants to get study permits. Since its launch, the NSE has helped many Nigerian students pursue education in Canada. However, as of November 8, 2024, new Nigerian applicants must now apply through the regular study permit process, like students from other countries.

The decision to close the program has worried many international students who depend on its fast processing for studying in Canada. The government says the closure is part of a larger effort to improve Canada’s immigration system and better manage resources amid changing global conditions.

The SDS will no longer be available to new applicants starting in November 2024, but the government is offering other ways to apply for study permits. While the exact reasons for the closure aren’t clear, it’s believed that higher application numbers, the need for better processing, and changes in immigration priorities played a role.

This change is a major shift in Canada’s student immigration policy. International students who were eligible for SDS will now have to use the regular study permit process, which could take longer. However, the Canadian government says it’s working on other ways to support international students, like improving processing times and increasing funding for schools.
