Our Process
How It Works
Receive DLI Acceptance Letter
Your Canadian university must be a Designated Learning Institution (DLI). EduVed confirms DLI status and helps you receive the acceptance letter needed for your permit.
Choose SDS or Regular Stream
SDS requires IELTS 6.0+, GIC CAD 10,000, and first-year tuition paid. Regular stream has fewer upfront requirements but longer processing. EduVed advises on the right stream.
Open GIC Account (SDS)
A GIC of CAD 10,000 from an IRCC-approved bank (ICICI, SBI, HDFC) is required for SDS. EduVed provides step-by-step GIC opening guidance.
Complete Biometrics at VFS
Book a biometric appointment at a VFS Global centre in India. Biometrics are valid 10 years once collected. EduVed advises on earliest appointment slots.
Submit Online Application
EduVed prepares your complete IRCC portal application, reviews all documents, and submits with a Statement of Purpose, financial docs, and passport.
Respond to IRCC Requests
IRCC may request additional documents or a medical exam. EduVed responds to all IRCC correspondence promptly to prevent delays.
