NIVC offers student visa services for graduate studies through student loans. International students can now apply for a student loan without a co-signer if they are registered in some Canadian schools. International, American, and Canadian students may be eligible to receive a loan to cover the cost of their studies, including tuition, accommodation, food, insurance, and educational supplies such as books. If the students are off the Student Direct Stream (SDS) track, they only need to pay the first term or semester tuition. International students need to pay only some or part of their tuition fees to be eligible to apply for a study permit application in Canada. However, it depends on the academic institutions. Students can work 20 hours per week and can work full-time in summer.
