What is GC-Key?

In recent years, Canada has ruled the world as the most popular study-abroad location for students worldwide. Numerous students still chose to study in Canada despite the expansion of other English-taught options in other nations. Some of the best research-intensive universities in the world are located there. Moreover, the quality of education, multicultural environment, and high standard of living that international students experience in Canada are quite unmatchable. Before planning to study in Canada, international students must apply for a study permit by submitting their documents through GC-Key. 

A GC- Key is a unique electronic credential (username and password) offered by the Government of Canada on the IRCC website. Through GC-key, international students can communicate securely with online government services. Earlier, international students submitted used to submit their visa files by physically going to VFS. But after the pandemic, international students can upload all their details online through GC-key. They can also get all the updates regarding their files through CG-Key only. Students must use their GC- Key at least once in 2 years so that it does not get expire.
