When Ms. Dhawan launched Grey Matters 25 years ago, Australia was where Indian students wanted to study. But over time the preference shifted to the U.S., then the U.K. Now “Canada is all the rage,” she says. She credits this largely to the Student Partners Program, which Stephen Harper’s Conservative government launched in 2009 to streamline the application process for Indian students, specifically, who wished to study at a few dozen participating Canadian colleges. In just a year, the government was already celebrating its success: The approval rate for applications from Indian students had doubled.

What is Difference between SPP and Non-SPP Program in Canada?

First of all what are SPP and Non-SPP. To start with the name, SPP stands for Student Partners Program. SPP was developed in partnership between the ACCC- Association of Canadian Community Colleges and CIC – Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Basically, it is an arrangement between some selected Canadian educational institutions and Canadian High Commission in India to provide the students with quick and easy study permit for the prospective students of participating institutions in Canada. The main motive of this program is to increase the number of student visa issued to Indian students and to make the admission and visa process more efficient.

When the aspirants are applying to the colleges of Canada, they have the option whether to choose SPP or not. The institutions participating under the SPP program, they accept Non-SPP applications, too. The thing is, the students are supposed to apply in the colleges which are falling under the list offering SPP. There are specific criteria to meet for the applicants; if they are meeting them then their applications may be considered under the program. It is recommended that the students should submit their application at least 3 months before the beginning of the academic course. Apart from that the applicant needs to undergo a mandatory medical examination before visa application by visiting one of the DMP – Designated Medical Practitioners in India.

Talking about the differences, the main difference between the two applications SPP and Non-SPP is the number of documents required for Visa processing. Here are the required documents for both SPP and Non-SPP application process:

Canadian colleges experience surge in Indian student enrolment

Last week Canadian colleges opened their doors to accommodate a significant increase in new students coming from India. The Association of Canadian Community Colleges is projecting approximately 12,000 Indian students. According to data from the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) office in India, there was a 511% increase in the number of students coming to study in Canada between 2007 and 2010 -- from 1,503 students in 2007 to 9,176 in 2010. ACCC's manager of international marketing attributes much of the college-level growth to the Student Partners Program, a joint initiative of ACCC and CIC. Since its launch in 2009 with 20 participating colleges, the program has grown to include 43 colleges in 6 provinces. Academica Group has recently published the results of a survey of more than 5,000 private high school students in India. University World News (Academicagroup)
