Siblings study in Canada

[CarmenOrtiz]

Hey guys!

I'm here to ask about the acceptance/rejection chances of a someone that wants to study in Canada while her sister is already studying there. From what I've been reading on this forum, if you have a family member in Canada, your study permit rejection chance rises. I'm asking this because my sister wants to study in Canada after I go there on a study permit. Thank u in advance.

I don't think you should be worried too much. As long as you can prove with your words that your only intention is to study in Canada by your SOP. There won't be any problem.

Not just by SOP only. SOP means nothing if everything else is not up to mark. She will have to prove her family ties, financial situation etc and it has to be solid since you will be in Canada on study visa also. VO will consider both cases and the financial strain it can put on the sponsor (parents for example). If you both individually can prove your financial stability and home ties, you guys are good!

It increases chances of rejection a little bit but doesn't mean automatic refusal. Make sure you are selecting a course that makes it clear that you are a genuine student and have a strong SOP.
