All you need to know about Student Partnership Program, CANADA

The Student Partnership Program (SPP) is a joint project between Citizenship and Immigration Canada’s visa offices in India and the ACCC. Find details about the program and partnering colleges here.
SPP (The Student Partners Program) was developed in partnership between the Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC) and the Canadian High Commission. It is an arrangement between selected Canadian educational institutions and Canadian High Commission in India to provide quick and easy study visa for the prospective students of participating institutions in Canada.
