IMM 1294 (06-2019) EIMMIGRATION, RÉFUGIÉS ET CITOYENNETÉ CANADA APPLICATION FOR STUDY MADE OUTSIDE CANADA

Misconceptions

Understanding the IMM 1294 form is essential for anyone looking to apply for a study permit outside of Canada. However, several misconceptions can lead to confusion during the application process. Below are seven common misconceptions, along with clarifications to help applicants navigate the form effectively.

  1. The IMM 1294 form is only for Canadian citizens. This form is specifically designed for individuals who are not Canadian citizens but wish to study in Canada. It is essential for non-citizens to complete this application to obtain a study permit.
  2. Once submitted, the application cannot be changed. While it is important to ensure that all information is accurate before submission, applicants can provide additional information or corrections if they realize an error has been made after sending the form. Contacting the relevant immigration office promptly is advisable.
  3. All applicants must have a sponsor in Canada. This is not a requirement for the IMM 1294 form. Applicants can apply independently as long as they meet the eligibility criteria for a study permit.
  4. Submitting the form guarantees a study permit. Completing the IMM 1294 form does not guarantee approval. The application will be assessed based on various factors, including the applicant's eligibility and the completeness of the submitted documentation.
  5. The form is only available in English. The IMM 1294 form is available in both English and French. Applicants can choose the language that they are most comfortable with when completing the form.
  6. There is no need to provide proof of acceptance from a school. This is a critical component of the application. Applicants must include an original letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution in Canada with their IMM 1294 form.
  7. Only students under 18 need to fill out additional forms. While minors must complete the Custodian Declaration (IMM 5646), all applicants, regardless of age, must ensure that they provide complete and accurate information as required in the IMM 1294 form.

By addressing these misconceptions, applicants can approach the IMM 1294 form with greater confidence and clarity, enhancing their chances of a successful application.

Key takeaways
