Misconceptions

Misconceptions about the IMM 1294 Form

It is only for students applying from their home country. Many believe that the IMM 1294 form can only be submitted by students who are applying from their home country. In reality, it can be submitted by students residing in other countries as well.
All fields are mandatory. While most fields on the form need to be completed, there are sections where applicants can indicate "not applicable." It's essential to read each question carefully.
Submitting the form online is an option. Some think that the IMM 1294 can be submitted online. Currently, it must be mailed in, along with any required documents.
Only Canadian institutions require this form. This form is not limited to Canadian institutions. Students applying to designated learning institutions in Canada must use it, regardless of their current location.
Having a study permit guarantees entry into Canada. A study permit allows students to study in Canada, but it does not guarantee entry. Border services will still assess each individual upon arrival.
Proof of funds is not necessary. Some applicants believe they do not need to show proof of funds. However, demonstrating sufficient funds is a critical part of the application process.
Previous study permits affect the current application. Previous study permits do not automatically disqualify an applicant. Each application is assessed on its own merits.
All personal information is kept confidential. While personal information is protected, it may be shared with other government agencies for verification purposes.
There is no need to include additional documents. Applicants often think the form is sufficient alone. However, supporting documents, such as acceptance letters, are crucial for a successful application.
Only full-time students need to apply. This form is necessary for both full-time and part-time students. Regardless of the study load, a study permit is required.
