Canada has suspended the Student Direct Stream visa program, impacting international student applications.

Canada has discontinued the Student Direct Stream (SDS) visa program, a key fast-track route for international students, particularly from India. Introduced in 2018, the SDS allowed quicker processing and higher approval rates for study permits. The suspension aims to address housing shortages and manage the influx of international students. Students must now apply through the regular process, leading to longer wait times and more stringent requirements.
