For example, Germany only issues the visa according to the application date. The validity period of transit visa is generally short
(2) stay period the stay period of a visa refers to the time that the holder is allowed to stay after entering the country

1. Clothes
do not wear too casually. Clothes that can be ironed should be ironed. But you don't have to wear a suit. It's easy to give people a stereotype and rigid impression< When entering the waiting room, the mobile phone must be turned off. Try to sit in the place where you can hear the name of the staff, listen to the voice of the staff carefully, and do not blindly chat with the colleagues around
3. Politeness
knock twice before entering the door, open the door, gently close the door, and then say good morning or good afternoon. Smile when talking to the visa officer and look him in the eye. Pass the material behind the large glass with both hands. When you leave, no matter you are told to refuse or pass, you should say thank you, and then gently close the door
4. Materials
the original materials are brought into the face-to-face signing room by you. After you go in, don't look through the materials. You can take them out to the visa officer only when he asks. Be familiar with all the materials and find out their location in advance to avoid being in a hurry. If you can't hear clearly, you should dare to say, sorry, I didn't hear clearly. The visa officer won't mind, but don't always fail to hear clearly, so as not to arouse his disgust. All materials should be memorized, especially sensitive time and numbers
5. Language
the main purpose of the interview is not to test your language ability, but to examine your motivation to go abroad. Therefore, applicants with poor oral English need not panic when talking with visa officials. But if you think your English is good enough, you can talk with the visa officer in Chinese to avoid the visa failure e to translation problems
when you talk about your study plan, don't show any trace of recitation. Try to be as natural as possible and relax your intonation. It doesn't matter if you pause and think about it a little bit
6. Time
the face-to-face signing is as fast as 1 minute and as slow as 30 minutes. Fast and slow does not affect your visa, because the visa officer's personality is different, and also has a lot to do with the materials you prepare.
what kind of people are easily refused< First, the visa officer thinks that the funds you have prepared are not enough. If the materials you submit to the embassy show that you have a large amount of recent deposits, and you cannot attach proof of the source of funds or reasonable proof of continuous accumulation of funds, you may be refused a visa because the origin of the funds is unknown
2. If you have not graated before you apply for a visa, and you can't show your diploma, you should make it clear in the materials, otherwise the visa officer will refuse to sign because your materials are incomplete< Thirdly, high school students are more likely to be refused a visa because visa officers often suspect that you can't guarantee to return home immediately after you finish your studies
it is understood that the latest rate of visa refusal for students studying in Canada is 40%. The main reasons for visa refusal are the unclear learning purpose of the applicants, the tendency to immigrate, the lack of financial guarantee and the falsification of materials. In order to improve the success rate, applicants must pay attention to the following aspects: ● the importance of study plan. Study plan is to explain the purpose of the applicant to study in Canada, is the key to the success of student visa application, and is also one of the important basis for the immigration officer to investigate whether the applicant has immigration tendency. If you study in Canada for no more than 6 months, you can only apply for a visit visa. If you choose a study visa (issued to applicants who have studied in Canada for more than six months), it will naturally arouse the suspicion of visa officers. ". The current visa requirements are as follows: the applicant must provide the proof of funds that exist 18 months or before the date of application; If the bank deposit certificate can not be issued, there should be reasonable explanation and explanation. Any fund growth of unknown origin in the account will be regarded as suspicious fund< The embassy will no longer accept the bank interest income form as part of the fund guarantee. The applicant should submit the earlier bank deposit and withdrawal records, the original bank deposit receipt and the bank deposit certificate, etc., and clearly describe the source of the guarantee fund. In addition, the submission of any misleading document will also increase the visa officer's doubts and lead to refusal of visa
● the document emphasizes authenticity
in the issue of fraud, although the embassy repeatedly emphasizes its seriousness, an authoritative investigation shows that there are still 50% cases of fraud in recent cases< It is worth mentioning that at present, the embassy has anti fraud mechanism and means. Once it is confirmed that the applicant has committed fraud, according to the provisions of chapter 40 (IRPA) of Canada's immigration and refugee act, the embassy will issue a letter of refusal to the applicant, and the applicant will not be allowed to apply again in the next two years. The embassy suggests that the applicant: if there is a document that cannot be submitted, the reason should be explained, and must not commit fraud, otherwise once found, the gain will not be worth the loss< It is understood that at present, the processing procere of the Embassy's application for studying abroad has been simplified - the application documents received are directly decided by the visa officer, and whether the application is passed or not depends on the judgment of the visa officer. After the case is submitted, the visa officer either gives basic approval and a medical examination notice, or sends a "response" to the problematic case There are a few requests for supplementary materials. Of course, ring this period, it is necessary to conct a corresponding "background information" survey on most of the applications< In order to speed up the trial, the embassy now implements "risk physical examination". In other words, as soon as the embassy receives the student's visa application materials, it may issue a medical examination notice instead of the previous "medical examination after passing the principle". Generally speaking, the visa results can be obtained about 4 weeks after the medical examination notice is issued
● the application materials should be filled in correctly
sometimes, small problems will lead to "failure", and there should be no mistakes at the critical moment. In fact, as long as the information is correctly filled in, it is confidential and there is no need to worry about it
★ intimate reminder
there are some important issues worthy of attention, such as home address and telephone number, which must be filled in the corresponding position; If one of the parents has no job, they should give a brief description to the embassy; Younger applicants will make visa officers worry about whether they can live well in Canada. Generally, the visa rate of applicants aged 9 or below is almost zero
the visa office of the Canadian Embassy in Beijing suggests that Chinese students prepare to apply for student visa in about five months. The embassy will inform the applicant about the medical examination and / or ask for more information within 30 days after receiving the application form. Therefore, the applicant must submit the application to the Embassy at least five months before the start of the school to successfully obtain the visa
