6.6 Quick Reference Materials
Important Tips
- Your purpose for the student visa must be for studies only, and you must stick to the line that you will return to India upon completion of your studies.
- You must arrange for adequate financing prior to leaving India, not just to satisfy the consulate officials but for your survival in the host country. Money is not readily available in America or Canada. Don’t arrive in America or Canada on a hope and a prayer.
- Your student visa for America implicitly permits you to accept any form of financial assistance. In contrast, you need a work permit to accept any financial assistance in Canada.
