A major technology and aerospace hub in close proximity to the Canadian border, with strong cross-border interest in skilled worker and business pathways.
Seattle families often treat UBC and Simon Fraser University as directly comparable to in-state Washington options, given the short distance and PGWP's open work authorization.
Study permit approval hinges on demonstrating genuine student intent, financial capacity, and ties to your home country — a Designated Learning Institution acceptance is the prerequisite, but strong preparation on these three areas is what prevents refusal. Mahyar Afzali, RCIC, works directly with clients throughout the process — from initial eligibility assessment through submission and follow-through — regardless of where in the US you're based.
Seattle falls under the Consulate General of Canada in Seattle; its proximity to the Canadian border means many clients here have already visited Canada, which can factor into demonstrating genuine intent on study or visitor applications.
