Overcoming Obstacles: Tech's Role in Canada's Study Visa Admissions
Tech Innovations Transform Admissions Process Amid Canada's Study Visa Cap
Tech companies Borderpass and ApplyBoard have developed new tools to help universities maximize international admissions under Canada's study visa cap. BorderPass Eligibility Assessment provides accurate assessments of applicants' chances of approval for a study permit before issuing a Letter of Acceptance, including a Provincial Attestation Letter. ApplyBoard's program uses machine learning to provide insight and guidance to institutions, ranking applications based on student profiles and attributes to determine the likelihood of visa success.
Institutions are using these tools to manage their internal admissions processes under Canada's cap on international study visas. Ontario announced that 96% of its allocated study permit applications would go to public colleges and universities, with language schools, private universities, and unspecified "other institutions" receiving the remaining 4% share. Private institutions are concerned about the need for every PAL issued to result in an approved study visa.
Ontario has allocated 96% of its 83,000 allocation to public post-secondary institutions, with British Columbia confirming that 53% will go to public post-secondary institutions, with the remaining 47% to private institutions. Provinces and territories have been asked to have a plan for issuing PALs by the end of March 2024.
