Admissions

01 When do I need to apply?
Most UK universities have September session only whereas some have January intake as well. For both sessions, it is suggested to apply as soon as your sponsor is ready to sponsor your education and all paper work is ready. Give atleast 12-16 weeks for whole process starting from the time thinking to apply till the time you get study visa. On safe side, if you intending to apply for September start thinking from November prior to the year you would like to start!

05 Is my Law, Medicine degree recognised in Canada?
We are not authorised to determine academic
qualifications or credentials and do not endorse any credential
evaluation service. For professional qualifications we suggest that
students contact the professional governing body for their field,
such as the Canadian
Bar Association or the Royal
College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, before they start
their international course. Canadian and UK qualifications
are generally considered equivalent, but there might be some exceptions
so it is best to make this initial enquiry to avoid any surprises
further down the road.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
06 Is there any website which gives information on what my current Canadian degree is equivalent to UK?
Information on an equivalent UK degree to
one gained in the Canada is available from the National
Academic Recognition Information Centre (NARIC). You can also
contact us for initial assessment, which may give you some idea
on equivalency to your current Canadian education.

Fees
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
01 I am a EU/UK citizen, do I need to pay International fee?
Yes, you have to. You only qualify for local
student fee, if you have lived in UK for 3 years prior starting
to your studies. On average undergraduate (3-year) fee will be from
GBP 8,000 (CAD $15,000) to GBP 11,000 (CAD $17,00) per annum, whereas
Postgraduate can be from GBP 9,000 (CAD $15,000) – GBP 15,000
(CAD $18,000) depending on the exchange rate and university you
are applying to. This fee does not include Medicine (MD / MBBS)
or MBA, as this can be more. Please consult one of our counsellors
at 416 628 3815.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
02 Can I pay my tuition fees by instalments?
In most cases, yes. How many instalments depend
on the individual institution concerned. All institutions also offer
discounts (5%-10%) to sponsors who pay the whole of the first year
tuition fees in advance of enrolment at their institution.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
03 Why do some institutions ask for deposit prior to applying for the study visa?
This greatly helps our clients when it comes to considering your intentions to study abroad. Such a sum of money is a sign of your commitment that you do intend to pursue a course of study at an education institution. All deposit payments are deducted from your tuition fees upon arrival and enrolment at the UK institution. For Canadian institutions, normally the deposit is not required; however, it varies from institution to institution. If you have any doubt, please contact us.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
04 Is my deposit refundable?
Deposits are always refundable,
whereas the administrative fee is non-refundable. Apart from UK
universities, Canadian institutions require an administrative fee
with your documents. Additionally, at the time when offer is made,
institutions require students to make a deposit, which is refundable
only if the study-visa has been refused.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
05 Who do I make my deposit draft payable to?
You have to make it payable to the institution concerned.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
06 What does it cost to study abroad?
This depends what course you are studying, at what level and at what institution. It can also depend on where you live as some places are more expensive than others. If you have family or friends you can stay with, this can help to save money. Course fees will be discussed with you on an individual basis when you come to apply to our student counsellor.

General
1 Why Students Solution process application
for UK & Canada only?
Our management, staff members and sub-agencies have studied and lived in these countries and have in-depth knowledge on education systems and living standard in these countries.. All students recruiting from Students Solution are guided on various key issues such as accommodation charges (private, studio flats, hostels, HOST), food expenses as per city, travelling options, bank account opening, job guidance and visa extension in UK or Canada. We believe these all information one can only get, while one has lived in those countries for sometime and closely came across with student problem.

2 What should student look while considering hiring a representative?
Hiring any representative services is very
important phase of your admission process. One must ask as many
questions as s/he can prior to hiring services. Common questions
can be:
1. Are they official representative for the institution?
2. What after-sale-services offered by the representative?
3. Ask as many questions, such as accommodation, minimum job rate,
how to get used to with the conditions, resume critique, how to
contact employment agencies, food, hydro charges?
*Getting visa is not the end-solution,
infact, its the starting of the problems student face during their
first 3 months of stay in new country
