Student Visa.. how long does it take?

[teachme27]

Hello all! I just have 2  questions about a student visa. Does anyone know how long it takes to obtain one once you have been accepted into a school? For example if you get an acceptance letter for Spring 2008 and apply for a student visa in the summer of 2007 will you recieve you permit in time to start school in the Spring? Also does acceptance to a school guarantee you a study permit?

1.  Check the office web site where you are applying, they all usually have the processing times
2.  No, acceptance does not guarantee a study permit, you have to prove you have sufficient funds to support yourself, that the course of study is logical or the availability of the course of study in your home country.
