Know your Canada study permit application is ready before you submit
Study permit refusals are often not about your academic record. They come down to a weak study plan, unconvincing funding evidence, or failing to demonstrate intent to return home. MigraIQ finds these gaps before you submit.
Refusals
Why Canada study permits get refused
These patterns account for a large share of study permit refusals. Most are fixable with better preparation.
Acceptance letter issues
Your Letter of Acceptance (LOA) from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) is the foundation of your application. An LOA from a non-DLI, an expired letter, or one that does not match your application details will trigger a refusal.
Insufficient financial proof
You need to show enough funds to cover tuition, living expenses, and your return trip. Officers look at whether your stated funding source is credible, consistent, and sufficient for the full duration of your programme.
Unconvincing study plan
You must clearly explain why you chose Canada and this specific programme, how it connects to your future career, and why you intend to return home after graduation. Vague or generic statements are a common reason for refusal.
Weak intent to leave Canada
Like a visitor visa, a study permit requires evidence that you intend to leave Canada when your studies end. Home country ties, existing career prospects, and family connections all help establish this.
