Azerbaijani citizens πŸ‡¦πŸ‡Ώ Azerbaijani citizens Β· πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ Canada Β· Student # Canada student visa success rate for Azerbaijani citizens In the UK β€” the only government that publishes visa outcomes broken down by both nationality and visa type β€” 96.1% of Azerbaijani student visa applications were approved, down from 98% a year earlier, across 908 decisions in the year to March 2026. For Azerbaijani student applicants that is the only approval rate on record anywhere. Canada does not publish student decisions by nationality, so no Canada-specific rate exists for Azerbaijan β€” and any site quoting one is estimating. Where Azerbaijan does have published rates, they run at 79.1% on US visitor visas in FY2025 and 90.2% across 103,626 Schengen short-stay decisions in 2025 β€” a wider picture of how Azerbaijani applications are treated, though neither is a student-visa figure. What Canada does document is the decision itself: officers assess whether you are a genuine student who can fund and complete the course, and the biggest single lever is admission and funding. On the money side: CAD$22,895 in living costs for a single applicant (the band in force for applications on or after 1 September 2025, up from CAD$20,635), plus first-year tuition and travel. It rises with family size β€” CAD$28,502 for two people, CAD$35,040 for three. The estimator below weighs your own finances, ties, travel history and refusal record against that. Last reviewed August 2026 per our [editorial standards](https://getvisaodds.com/editorial-standards). Source: [IRCC β€” Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada ](https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/get-documents/financial-support.html). How likely is a student visa to Canada for Azerbaijani citizens? Officers focus on whether you are a genuine student who can fund and complete the course. A typical applicant sees roughly 68%, and the biggest single lever is admission and funding. Published approval rates for Azerbaijan run at 79.1% on US visitor visas in FY2025 and 90.2% on Schengen short-stay applications in 2025. [Estimate my personal odds](#estimate) Modelled estimate β€” not official 68% Modelled estimate, not a published statistic β€” no Azerbaijani-specific rate is published for this route. Derived from IRCC temporary-resident-visa approval data; see the methodology page for every parameter. Your personal odds can be much higher or lower β€” estimate them below. ## Estimate your personal odds Pre-filled for this route. A few taps and it’s done β€” privately, in your browser. ## Key requirements - Letter of Acceptance from a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) - Provincial/Territorial Attestation Letter (PAL/TAL) where required - Proof of funds: CAD$20,635 living costs (single) + first-year tuition + travel - Evidence of ties and intent to leave at the end of studies - Biometrics; medical exam and a GIC may be required ### Visa fee (cost) CAD$150 study permit fee plus CAD$85 biometrics. ### Money & funds CAD$22,895 in living costs for a single applicant (the band in force for applications on or after 1 September 2025, up from CAD$20,635), plus first-year tuition and travel. It rises with family size β€” CAD$28,502 for two people, CAD$35,040 for three. ### Typical timeline Processing varies by country; the PAL and, in some streams, a Guaranteed Investment Certificate add steps. Check current IRCC study-permit times. ## Common refusal reasons - Funds insufficient or not credibly sourced - Study plan not convincing / not a genuine student - Weak ties or dual-intent concerns - Missing Provincial Attestation Letter where required - Incomplete or inconsistent documents ## Where Azerbaijan sits in the official data Two governments publish visa outcomes broken down by country. Neither predicts an individual decision, but together they show how Azerbaijani applicants fare relative to everyone else, and which of the destinations we cover currently refuses the fewest applications from Azerbaijan. ### UK student visas β€” year to March 2026 The UK is the only government that publishes outcomes by nationality _and_ visa type, so it is the one place a student-visa figure for Azerbaijan actually exists. **3.9%** of Azerbaijani student applications were refused across 908 decisions , against 2% the year before. That volume makes Azerbaijan the 43rd-largest source of UK student applicants, of 73 countries with meaningful numbers. Different country, different rules β€” a reference point, not your odds here. ### US visitor visas β€” FY2025 A **20.9%** adjusted refusal rate places Azerbaijan **71st of 199** nationalities the State Department publishes β€” a lower refusal rate than 64% of them. The median nationality sits at 31.8%, so Azerbaijan is 10.9 points below it. ### Schengen short-stay visas β€” 2025 Across all Schengen consulates in Azerbaijan, **9.8%** of short-stay applications were not issued β€” **44th of 127** countries with a meaningful application volume, and 5.8 points below the 15.6% median. |Destination|Refused|Issued|Decided| |-|-|-|-| |Greece|3%|97%|5,222| |France|6.2%|93.8%|24,137| |Italy|7.4%|92.6%|17,958| |Germany|14.3%|85.7%|22,796| Among Schengen states, applications lodged in Azerbaijan were refused least often by Greece at 3% and most often by Germany at 14.3% β€” a gap of 11.3 points on a like-for-like basis. That gap reflects who applies where as much as how strictly each state decides, so it is a starting point for choosing a main destination, not a ranking of leniency. You must still apply to the state where you will spend the most nights. Demand and outcome moved together for Azerbaijan between 2024 and 2025. Schengen consulates there decided **103,626** short-stay applications, against 90,224 the year before β€” up 14.9% β€” while the refusal rate went from 9.7% to 9.8%. Had 2024's rate held, roughly 78 of the 103,626 applicants refused in 2025 would have been issued a visa instead.

Make it concrete and documented rather than assumed. ### Clearly documented funding for tuition and living costs Officers weigh this alongside everything else β€” gather clear evidence before you apply. ### A credible study plan that fits your background Officers weigh this alongside everything else β€” gather clear evidence before you apply. ### Context for Azerbaijan applicants Published approval rates for Azerbaijan run at 79.1% on US visitor visas in FY2025 and 90.2% on Schengen short-stay applications in 2025. Your personal profile matters far more than any nationality-level pattern, so focus on the levers above. ### Avoid the common pitfall The most frequent reason this route fails is unclear funding or a course that does not fit your profile. Address it directly and you remove the biggest doubt. ## Frequently asked questions Is there an official Canada student visa success rate for Azerbaijani citizens? Not one we currently carry. We only print a rate when we hold the publisher's own figure for this nationality and this visa category, and we do not hold one for Canada student visas. The figure shown on this page is a modelled estimate built from published route-level data and your answers β€” we label it as such rather than presenting it as a government statistic. What you can act on is the documented requirement set below, which is what the decision actually turns on. What matters most for a Canada student visa? Officers focus on whether you are a genuine student who can fund and complete the course. In practice the single biggest lever is admission and funding, so make that part of your application as strong and well-documented as possible. Does a previous visa refusal affect my chances? Yes. A prior refusal weighs on new applications until its underlying reason is addressed. Find out exactly why you were refused, fix what caused it, and clearly show what is different this time. Is this a guarantee of approval? No. GetVisaOdds is an educational planning tool, not legal advice and not a guarantee. Only a consular or immigration officer can decide your application. We show approximate odds and the reasons behind them so you can prepare better. Is my information private? Completely. The estimate runs entirely in your browser. Your answers are never sent to a server or stored β€” there is no sign-up and nothing to leak. How much money do I need for a Canada study permit? A single applicant must show CAD$20,635 for living costs (2024 baseline, adjusted yearly) plus first-year tuition and travel costs. What is a PAL and do I need one? A Provincial Attestation Letter confirms your spot within a province's cap. Most study-permit applicants now need a PAL (or TAL) unless exempt. Why are Canada study permits being refused more? Caps and closer scrutiny have raised refusals. The common grounds are unconvincing study plans, funds concerns, and weak ties to home. Do I need a GIC for a Canada study permit? Not always, but a Guaranteed Investment Certificate is a common, strong way to prove living-cost funds and is required under the Student Direct Stream's successor streams for some applicants. Can I work while studying in Canada? Eligible study-permit holders can work a capped number of hours off campus during terms and full-time during breaks β€” check the current IRCC rules, which change periodically. ## Explore related visa odds ### Other visas to Canada for Azerbaijani citizens -
