Students have the right to opt-out of this offering and have their Study Permit application reviewed by another qualified Immigration Professional of their choosing, as long as it is one of the professionals listed above ( LSBF Canada is not responsible for any related fees should the student select this option). Students, who submit their Study Permit application to the Visa Office without first getting it reviewed and approved by a qualified Immigration Professional (as defined in clause 5.3), waive their right to a refund in a situation where their application for a Study Permit is refused. For the avoidance of doubt, where a refund is requested due to a refusal of a Study Permit application, if there is no proof that a qualified Immigration Professional reviewed and approved a student's application prior to submission to the Visa Office, a refund will not be granted
