Student’s Pass Application Procedures
The College will help you in your application for a Student’s Pass. You will need the following in connection with your application:
• Birth certificate (with the student and both parents’ names)
• Highest education certificates and transcripts
• 2 passport-sized photographs against a white background
• 1 photocopy of the original passport
• Documentary proof of financial ability and parent’s statement of monthly income with position
• Names on all documents must tally with the name on the passport
Notarized / certified true copies of all the above documents. Copies of all originals and translated versions (in English) must be submitted to Canadian Education College for Student’s Pass application.
While you needn't submit the original documents to the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA), you should have them ready, as ICA may need to verify the photocopies you have submitted against the originals.
Your application for a Student’s Pass is done online, through an ICA website. A unique SOLAR+ number will be generated. You will be informed of the SOLAR+ number. You can check the status of your Student’s Pass application by logging into SOLAR+ with the SOLAR+ number.
Your application will be processed by ICA. This will take about 4 - 6 weeks. ICA will then inform the College as to the outcome of your application. If your application is approved, the College will send you your in-principle approval (IPA) letter. If your application is rejected, you may request the College to do an appeal on your behalf.
Approved application
If you receive in-principle approval, the College will arrange an appointment for you with ICA. You will have to comply with the requirements stated in the in-principle-approval letter. You may be required to:
- Bring along original documents for verification when you appear for your appointment. Please make sure you have all the documents required.
- Undergo a medical examination.
