What is the Student Direct Stream (SDS)?

The Canadian government launched the Student Direct Stream (SDS) initiative in 2018 to expedite the processing of study permits for students from certain nations.

Students must be nationals or legal residents of one of the following nations to be eligible: Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Colombia, Philippines, Senegal, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Vietnam, India, Morocco, Pakistan, Peru, or Antigua and Barbuda.

The project aims to improve educational possibilities for inhabitants of these countries as well as make it simpler for foreign students to enter Canada. SDS applicants are given an accelerated approach for their studies in Canada with a service standard of 20 days for processing study permit applications.
