About SPP
The SPP is an administrative framework designed and implemented
in partnership between the Canadian Visa offices in India and the
Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC). The SPP was
developed by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) in
cooperation with the ACCC. The project was launched in April 2009
to improve student recruitment outcomes. SPP program was open only
for Indian Nationals initially but after seeing the success of the
project for Indian students it has been also started for
China. The program aims to test a model for expediting the
student visa process and delivering high approval rates while
maintaining program integrity. The visa approval rates under this
program are very high.
Due to the improvement achieved during the pilot, the program is
being extended and expanded in 2011 also. Under this Program 43
collages of Canada are listed and there are many other ACCC
colleges which also welcome students from India. Applications
to these colleges will also receive prompt processing and a fair
and individual decision based on the documentation provided.
The Student Partners Program involves close cooperative
partnership and feedback from the participating colleges to ensure
student compliance with the terms of their study permits.
