Common Mistakes Iranian Students Make When Applying to Canada & the U.S.

(And How to Avoid Them With Expert Guidance From Amin Pardaz International)

Introduction

Each year, thousands of Iranian students apply to study in developed countries like Canada and the United States. However, many applicants miss out on valuable acceptance and visa opportunities due to simple yet critical mistakes.

In this guide, the experienced team at Amin Pardaz International outlines the 10 most common mistakes made during the application process and offers practical solutions to help you succeed.


1. No Clear Academic or Career Plan

Visa officers expect applicants to have a clear educational purpose and be able to explain their career path after graduation.

 Solution: Write a compelling and personalized Study Plan with the help of Amin Pardaz’s academic consultants.


2. Choosing the Wrong University or College

Selecting schools solely based on low tuition fees or well-known names—without checking DLI status or PGWP eligibility—can harm your future opportunities.

 Solution: Consult Amin Pardaz International for a tailored list of reputable institutions aligned with your goals.


3. Copying SOPs or Study Plans From the Internet

Using generic or plagiarized documents weakens your application and increases rejection risk.

 Solution: Amin Pardaz prepares original and customized SOPs based on your personal background and objectives.


4. Poor Application Timing

Applying too late may mean missing deadlines, paying extra, or running out of time to book a visa appointment.

 Solution: Start the application 8–12 months before your intended semester.


5. Inadequate Financial Planning

Lack of proof of funds or incomplete documentation can lead to visa denial.

 Solution: Work with Amin Pardaz to review your finances and prepare all required documentation correctly.


6. Ignoring New Immigration Policies

Frequent changes in immigration rules can impact your program choices or required documents.

 Solution: Amin Pardaz keeps track of policy updates and ensures you are always informed.


7. Poor Communication With Schools or Professors

Failure to communicate effectively with academic departments or professors can lead to missed scholarships or admissions.

 Solution: Get trained on professional email writing and contact strategies by our consultants.


8. Picking a Major Unrelated to Your Academic Background

Choosing a program that doesn’t match your academic or work history may raise red flags during visa review.

 Solution: Select a field that’s aligned with your academic or professional history.


9. Weak Interview Preparation for U.S. Visas

Lack of preparation for the U.S. Embassy interview is a top reason for F1 rejections.

 Solution: Practice with mock interviews organized by Amin Pardaz International.


10. Incorrect Document Submission

Incomplete files, poor translations, or unofficial formats can delay or derail your application.

 Solution: All documents are reviewed, translated, and formatted professionally by the Amin Pardaz team.
