SPP计划的全称是Student Partners Program,这个计划的目的是提高希望申请加拿大部分学院和新兴大学的学生签证成功率。SPP,即中加国际学生合作计划。此计划针对雅思成绩已经达到5.5的学生,加拿大驻北京使馆放松对其资金的来源检查,取消对担保金必须提供12个月的存款历史的硬性规定。但要求学生付清第一年全年的学费并存入加拿大银行10000加元的GIC生活费存款(定息定期存款)。学生到加后可以按月支取。学生如签证发生问题,这些钱也会退还给学生。
之所以推出这个计划,是因为近年来有很多成绩优秀的学子由于在国内资金条件不足因而很难获得加拿大签证,最终放弃了到加拿大留学而去选择一些留学政策宽松的留学大国,如英国、美国、澳洲等英语国家。因此加拿大此举的目的还是意在吸引更多的中国优秀学生赴加留学。此外,加拿大公立学院联盟(ACCC)共有34家学院参与了SPP计划,这些参与的学校主要为当地规模大认可度高的学院或者新晋大学。而此类院校通常教学实用性强,学生毕业后更容易在当地就业。09年类似计划也曾在印度实施,结果大幅提升了学生的签证申请成功率。因此专家预测,随着该政策出台,加拿大签证申请数量有望增幅两成。
