Frequently Asked Questions

Chanakya Global provides expert profile evaluation, course and university selection advice, documentation checklists, application processing support, and pre-departure briefings. Please note that we provide guidance and support; the final decision to approve or reject a visa rests solely with the respective country's immigration department. We do not guarantee visa approvals.

Some universities or countries may offer admission based on English Medium of Instruction (MOI) certificates from your previous institution, or allow alternative tests. However, for visa approval and smooth processing (especially in Canada SDS or UK routes), having a standard test score (IELTS/PTE) is highly recommended and often mandatory. Our counselors can assess your specific profile.

Under the SDS stream, you must pay the first-year tuition fee (approx. CAD $15,000 to $25,000) and purchase a Guaranteed Investment Certificate (GIC) from a participating bank (currently CAD $20,635) to cover your living costs. Under non-SDS streams, you must show equivalent liquid funds and assets.

Our initial profile assessment is completed within 2 to 3 business days. The time taken for the final visa or PR application depends on the destination country, program intake timelines, and government processing speeds.

Many destinations (like UK, Canada, Australia, and Schengen states) allow international graduates to stay and work for 1 to 3 years after completing their studies. This work experience can help you qualify for permanent residency or skilled work sponsorships, depending on the country's points system.

There is no strict official age limit for study visas, provided you have a clear study plan and can demonstrate how the chosen course will advance your career. We assist clients with gaps or mature applicants in crafting realistic and strong Statement of Purposes (SOPs).
