Types of Application Streams
SDS (Student Direct Stream): Faster processing for eligible countries (e.g., India, Philippines, China, etc.)
Requires upfront GIC, tuition, and IELTS score (depends on a case-by-case basis)
Non-SDS: Regular stream; more flexible but takes longer and may require more documentation.
Post-Study Opportunities
After completing your studies, you may be eligible for:
Post-Graduate Work Permit (PGWP) — up to 3 years open work permit
