The client applied from outside Canada in September and the visa was issued on December 11.
The client was admitted to Langara College, a public college in Vancouver. The write-up described Langara as a pathway college, stating that about 50 percent of its students aim to transfer to a four-year university in British Columbia and that transfers from Langara to UBC are common locally.
For applicants whose English is not yet at the required level, the write-up described Langara's LEAP program, which runs 20 hours a week and is made up of nine levels, with conditional admission available on the condition that the student completes level 8. The stated admission requirements, which the write-up said vary by program, were IELTS 6.5 or above or TOEFL iBT 80.
