SPP (Student Partner Program) India & China

SPP is an expedited Canadian Study Permit (Visa) Process that launched in April 2009. Seneca was among the first colleges across Canada chosen by the Association of Canadian Colleges (ACCC) and the CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada) visa offices, to help launch this SPP pilot program, in India.

The SPP program makes it easier for serious students to obtain a Canadian study permit visa. The success of this program has now rolled out to China, allowing students from these two countries to:

Write an IELTS Assessment: to prove they have the English level to be a success in Canada, at Seneca, by submitting an IELTS (International English Language Test Score)
Obtain Financial Endorsement: to prove their financial ability to study in Canada by getting financial endorsement/an educational bank loan with their current Seneca 'Letter of Acceptance'

These additional steps and SPP forms/kits, when attached to your Canadian Study Permit Application Form, and marked SPP, allows CIC visa offices, in these two countries, to process your Canadian Study Permit much faster. Our international students are very pleased with the quick service CIC visa offices provide and Seneca is very happy to welcome more international students from these countries, to study with us.
