One of the most important steps in any study abroad application journey is applying for a student visa. With that in mind, ApplyBoard has launched a new state of the art Canadian Visa Calculator. Harnessing the power of big data technology, ApplyBoard recruitment partners can take advantage of the Canadian Visa Calculator, located within the ApplyBoard Platform, to help determine the likelihood of their student being approved for a Canadian visa.

ApplyBoard is pleased to launch the Canadian Visa Calculator first to premier recruitment partners and will roll out this cutting-edge feature to more recruitment partners soon. We can’t wait for you to try it out for yourself!

2020 saw the launch of ApplyProof powered by ApplyBoard. ApplyProof is a trust solution, supporting international students on their educational journey. Through partnerships with schools, ETS, and Pearson Education, ApplyProof provides secure, transparent portability of important documents. Immigration officials, admissions officers, and students can efficiently verify the authenticity of documents, clearing the way for successful international education.

Earlier this year, the ApplyBoard and ApplyProof teams launched ShowMyProof.com, a proof of concept platform that leverages the power, technology, and security of ApplyProof to help governments and organizations facilitate proof of vaccination status with privacy, security, and ease-of-use.

An Important Note About the Canadian Visa Calculator

ApplyBoard’s new visa calculator is not a supplement for immigration or visa advice. The results of the visa calculator simply measure the likelihood of visa acceptance based on historical trends. Please note that actual visa approval chances also depend on factors that are not considered in the visa calculator.

Results may vary. This module uses machine learning and historical data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to predict the percentage of applicants with certain characteristics that would qualify for a Canadian study permit. The model combines the approval rates of groups of applicants who share subsets of features to infer the approval chance of individuals with the whole set of features. Please note that actual approval chances depend on additional factors that are not considered here. These predictions also assume the candidate is eligible for the level of study and able to receive a letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution. The information on the website is not intended to be immigration advice and third-party professional advice should be obtained with respect to any visa application that may be pursued.

Help your students find the perfect study abroad opportunity that aligns with their background, skills, and interests on ApplyBoard.
