Canada introduces program to fast-track study permit processing from Nigeria

[Festus Adabi]

The number of Nigerian international students studying in Canada is increasing every year, and now Canada is introducing a new pilot program intended to help expedite the study permit application process.

The Nigeria Student Express (NSE) pilot is for Nigerians who have been accepted to a Canadian post-secondary institution, according to Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Eligible candidates need to have been accepted to a bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate degree program, or a post-graduate diploma course.

Canada is aiming to shorten study permit processing for Nigerians from an average of eight weeks to 20 days through the NSE.
