The SPP is an administrative framework designed and implemented in
partnership between the Canadian Visa offices in India and the
Association of Canadian Community Colleges (ACCC). The SPP was
developed by Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) in cooperation
with the ACCC. The project was launched in April 2009 to improve
student recruitment outcomes. SPP program was open only for Indian
Nationals initially but after seeing the success of the project for
Indian students it has been also started for China. The program aims to
test a model for expediting the student visa process and delivering
high approval rates while maintaining program integrity. The visa
approval rates under this program are very high.
