Honest assessment first
Does Goreto take on every Canada applicant?
No. We assess your profile first, and we tell you plainly if Canada is not a realistic option for you right now.
A refusal costs you fees and months of waiting, and you must declare it on every later visa application. We would rather you hear a hard answer from us than from IRCC.
So before any application, a counselor checks your grades, study gap, English score and funds against what the institution and the visa officer expect. You get the result before you pay an application fee to anyone. That is also why most of our students’ applications are approved.
Ready to apply
Your profile fits. We shortlist courses with you and start your applications.
Not yet
Something needs fixing first, such as an English score, your funds history or gap documents. We tell you exactly what to fix and roughly how long it takes.
Not the right route
If Canada does not suit your profile, we say so. We explain why, and whether a different course level or another country would fit you better.
Whatever the result, the decision to apply is always yours.

Canada problems we solve
Which Canada problems does Goreto solve for Nepali students?
Most Canada refusals from Nepal come down to a handful of problems, and we deal with each one before your file goes to IRCC.
Your Canada visa was refused once
A refusal stays on your record, and sending the same file again usually brings the same answer.
How Goreto handles it
We read the refusal letter with you and help you request the officer’s notes, so you know the real reason. Then we rebuild the weak part of the file before you reapply, whether that is funds, the study plan or your ties to Nepal.
Two of the recent approvals on this page came after an earlier refusal. See our Canada student visa refusal guide.
You have a study gap
Years away from study make a visa officer ask why you want to study now.
How Goreto handles it
We document what you did in the gap with experience letters, pay records or training certificates. Then we choose a course that follows from that work, so your study plan explains the gap instead of hiding it.
Read how officers look at gaps in our study gap guide for Canada.
Your funds are hard to prove
IRCC wants to see a year of living costs plus first-year tuition, and where that money came from.
How Goreto handles it
We check your sponsor’s income, bank history and loan papers before anything is submitted. Sudden large deposits and unexplained sources are common refusal reasons, so we help you document each source clearly.
The exact amounts are in our proof of funds guide. If you are borrowing, see the education loan process in Nepal.
Your course may not lead to a work permit
Not every Canadian program qualifies for a post-graduation work permit. Diplomas and graduate certificates must be in an eligible field.
How Goreto handles it
We check work permit eligibility for the exact program and campus before you apply, not after you arrive. Bachelor’s and master’s degrees have no field rule, so we also compare a diploma route with a degree route for your budget.
The rules are explained in our PGWP guide for Nepali students.
You need a PAL or TAL and do not know how to get one
Most college and bachelor's applicants need an attestation letter from the province, and each institution has a limited number.
How Goreto handles it
We confirm how and when your institution issues the letter before you pay a deposit. Your study permit application goes to IRCC only once the letter is in hand, because a file without it is returned.
See what a PAL or TAL is and who needs one.
Your SOP reads like everyone else's
Officers read many near-identical study plans from Nepal, and a copied SOP can be treated as misrepresentation.
How Goreto handles it
You write your own study plan and our SOP team edits it with you. It has to answer three questions: why this course, why Canada, and what you will do after you graduate.
Start with our SOP guide for a Canada student visa.
Your GPA or English score is low
A low +2 GPA or a band short in IELTS or PTE closes some programs, but not all of them.
How Goreto handles it
We tell you honestly which institutions accept your scores, and whether a retake would open better options. IELTS and PTE classes run at our Kumaripati and Bagbazar offices.
Check your grade with the NEB GPA calculator, then see the minimum IELTS and PTE scores for Canada.
You want to take your spouse with you
The rules for a spouse's open work permit have changed, and they now depend on your program level and length.
How Goreto handles it
We check whether your program qualifies before you choose it. Then we plan with you whether your spouse applies with you or after you arrive.
The current rules are in our Canada dependent and spouse visa update.
