Yes, we understand that sometimes circumstances require extremely fast translations. If you have an urgent need, please contact our team as soon as possible here to discuss the options available and see how we can help you in your particular situation.

Remember that our goal is to provide high quality translations in the shortest possible time. We always work to adapt to your needs and meet your deadlines. If you have any additional questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Please note that in order to apply for your visa, you must already have a letter of acceptance in hand plus the other immigration requirements specific to your case. Therefore, we recommend that while you are in the process of getting your Letter of Acceptance (LOA), if you want Immiland to represent you in your visa process, we suggest that you sign a contract with us so that you can get information and advance the visa requirements while waiting for your LOA which is the final requirement, for having made the registration with immiland you can enjoy a 10% discount on visa services. Remember that Immiland can take up to 3 weeks to put together a comprehensive application and then the Government of Canada can take 3 to 6 months (depending on the embassy) to give you an answer,we present a timeline for you to keep in mind to plan accordingly:

• 1. Opening of enrollment at the institutions: The institutions open enrollment approximately 1 year before the beginning of classes, the most recommended is to apply as soon as they open because most of them do not have an application deadline, as soon as the program is full it closes.

• Estimated time for LOA issuance: After sending us all documents for registration: 2 to 12 weeks, may be more or less, depending on the College/University.

• 3. Estimated CAQ issuance times (if going to Quebec): With LOA in hand, you should note that this may take 20 to 30 working days to be issued by the Quebec Ministry.

• 4. Estimated translation times for your visa process: It depends on your translator and the amount of documents you send for translation, in Immiland it can take from 5 to 9 business days if you hire our translators.

In total the process takes approximately one year (sometimes more, sometimes less depending on each profile) so it is recommended to start your counseling in time so that you can prepare all the necessary documentation and start your classes at the desired start of classes.

An academic year in Canada consists of 8 months of study, normally when studying for 2 years or more the academic program has vacations, especially if the program starts in the beginning of classes in September, because they study all Fall, all winter, all spring and they have the whole summer vacation period and they enter again in September to the second academic year, for the other beginnings of classes that are January and May, normally they are fast track, that is to say, they do not have vacations. There are exceptions such as UCW, Camosun College, Lambton College, among others, that no matter the start of classes, they can always choose to have a vacation.

At immiland we have a 100% trained legal team for visa preparation. You will not be obligated to retain our visa services when you obtain our educational services, but you will have the option to contract them and take advantage of a 10% discount on them.

When submitting translated documents for immigration purposes, it is important to follow the guidelines provided by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Here are some general guidelines:

‍

• Include the original document along with its translation.
• Make sure that each translated page includes a statement signed by the translator or translation service certifying its accuracy and completeness.
• The translator must provide his or her full name, affidavit and stamps.
• If the translation has been done by a sworn translator or a member of a recognized association, please include information about their certification or membership.
• It is essential to check the specific requirements set forth by the IRCC or consult with an attorney or immigration consultant to ensure that you meet all necessary translation and documentation requirements.

Translations for immigration purposes in Canada must be done by a qualified professional. The translator must have experience in both the source and target language (usually English or French). Some recognized authorities that can perform sworn translations are:

‍

• Sworn translators accredited by a Canadian provincial or territorial regulatory body.
• Membership in a recognized translation association, such as the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario (ATIO) or the Canadian Council of Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters (CTTIC).
• Translation services authorized by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
• Translators from outside Canada who are accredited (officially recognized or authorized) in the country where the translation is being done. An affidavit must be included stating that the translation is an accurate version of the original text. The translator does so before a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country where he/she resides. The commissioner or notary public must be fluent in English or French in order to administer the oath.
• Notary publics or attorneys authorized to certify translations.

When applying for immigration to Canada, you may be required to submit translations of various documents. Some common examples include:

• Birth certificates
• Marriage certificates
• Divorce certificates
• Academic diplomas
• Labor records
• Criminal Record Certificates
• Proof of funds

It is important to note that any documents that are not in English or French must be accompanied by a translation by a certified translator. This ensures that the immigration authorities can understand and verify the information provided in the documents.

This family member becomes your financial sponsor (whether they are providing all or part of the money). Your sponsor is required to make an affidavit: https: //www.immilandcanada.com/declaracion-jurada/declaracion-jurada-de-un-patrocinador-y-o-herencia

It is possible that your passport expired before the end of your study program or job offer. Canada cannot issue a permit beyond the validity of your passport.

It is the unique identification code that Canada issues to all persons who have applied in the past for immigration processing (whether temporary or permanent). If you have never applied to Canada then you do not have a UCI yet.

For 10 years, if you don't know if your biometrics are still valid you can check here: https://onlineservices-servicesenligne.cic.gc.ca/extapp/bioStatusQuery

Yes, as long as you have a valid visa or eTA. It is imperative that you have it as this is your travel document. In addition, you must travel with your valid work or study permit because you will be asked for it when you re-enter Canada. Your permit is your legal status in the country, while the visa or eTA is your travel document. 

If you are married, attach your marriage certificate or marriage registration, it is not advisable to apply for the visa if your marriage took place within the last 3 months. It is suggested to apply after 4 months (or more) after getting married so that the document gains seniority. 

If your marriage certificate has been issued recently (less than 4 months, prior to this application), Immiland strongly recommends providing supporting documentation to reinforce the genuineness of your relationship and to avoid suspicion on the official when evaluating your marriage relationship due to the recent celebration of the marriage.

The elements that can be used as evidence to prove the genuineness of your marriage are any of the following:

• Shared ownership of a residential property
• Joint leases or leases in the name of both parties
• Bills for shared or individual utility bills (one old and one new) showing the same residence address, such as:
• Important documents for both showing the same address, such as:

• driving licenses
• insurance policies
• identification documents

‍‍

If you are in a common-law marriage, it is IMPERATIVE to make an affidavit on the form recognized by Canada. Immiland Canada can provide the service of declaration of common-law marriage: https://www.immilandcanada.com/declaracion-jurada/declaracion-jurada-de-union-libre. Extrajudicial declarations made in your home country DO NOT REPLACE this document.

Additionally, we recommend accompanying the declaration of free union in the Canadian forms of proof of your union. Please refer to the examples mentioned above for fresh marriages.

If you are married or cohabiting, but traveling alone, you may optionally provide us with the marriage certificate or cohabitation certificate, the reason being that this would strengthen your social roots.

‍

If you are independent or freelance, the following are examples and alternatives that you can present:

• Company registration or alternatively,
• Registration as independent or alternatively,
• Service contracts with customers or alternatively,
• Letters from customers 2 or 3 attesting that you have rendered services to them.

Any of the above documents will allow us to attest to your self-employed occupations. In a complementary, but not main way, you can optionally add any of the following, to strengthen the genuineness of your business: 

• Self-employed business cards -this document alone does not carry much weight for the officer, ideally it should be accompanied by one of the documents mentioned above.

Web presence: website, facebook -this document alone does not carry much weight for the officer, ideally it should be accompanied by one of those mentioned above-.

Fresh trips according to Canada's temporary residency forms are the last 5 years.

There is no specific number of trips you should make, the recommended logic is that the more trips the better: having 1 trip is better than having 0 trips. The fresher your trips, the better. The more stable the economy of the country you visit, the better.

For applications of a temporary nature such as work, study or tourism permit applications, travel history is important because it shows a good prior immigration history. For permanent residency applications, travel history is less relevant.

A translation cannot change over time and must be valid indefinitely unless the original document has changed or expired. If the signature of a certified translator or notary has expired, it does not invalidate the translation. As long as the translator's certification was valid at the time of signing, the translation remains valid.

The only time the translation will expire and a new translation will be required is if the original document has expired or has changed and the applicant submits a new document.

‍

No, it only requires translations by a certified translator.

Yes, documents that are not in English or French must be translated by a certified translator.

A certified translator is an accredited member whose certification can be confirmed by a stamp or seal showing the translator's membership number of a professional translation association in Canada or abroad (for visa processing).

Note: A translator who has not yet received certification or accreditation, but is in the process of receiving it, is not considered a certified translator for IRCC purposes.

‍

We highly recommend applying for the visa 5 to 6 months before the start of your classes. This is to avoid that due to embassy delays, your application is not processed on time and you miss the start of your classes. Please be aware that each embassy is different and they are usually very volatile with their processing times, in addition to having delays in their processes. 

If, for example, your classes start in September, then you should ALREADY be applying for the visa in April or May. That is, by April or May you should already have the LOA, the money needed for tuition and living expenses, plus other supporting documents necessary for your application.

‍

No, it is illegal to work in Canada without proper authorization (such as a work permit or permanent residency).

If there is an error in your permit, you may request an amendment to your permit. For more information: click here

Some study programs include mandatory work experience as part of their curriculum. 

Therefore, if your program of study includes co-op (mandatory/mandatory), then you need to apply to your co-op along with your study permit application (many schools issue a letter supporting the issuance of a co-op permit to submit with your application). You must then apply to the CBSA officer when you enter Canada for your co-op permit, which is different from your study permit and which must be issued upon entry into Canada. 

Remember that the co-op work permit is not the same as the authorization to work 20 hours off campus as the study permit. The co-op work permit is a separate work permit, it is not related to the authorization to work part-time in Canada.

‍

Your study permit is what authorizes you to work part-time. However, in order to do so, your study permit must stipulate a "Work off campus" condition. Please note that this work authorization is different from the CO-OP internship work permit.

Check the validity of your letter of introduction letter to the port of entry, this letter should have been issued by IRCC upon approval of your application. There is a box titled "Letter of Introduction Validity" on your port of entry (POE) letter. You must enter Canada before this date. If the validity date has passed and you do not travel to Canada, you must submit a new application. You cannot extend the validity date on your Letter.

If Immigration Canada discovers that you have not complied with the conditions of your study permit, you may be asked to leave Canada and/or this element may create a negative immigration history that could have repercussions to your future processes. Please review your permit conditions and restrictions very carefully to avoid misunderstandings and contraventions.

No, we do not charge an administration fee, it will only be charged if the college/university charges for your registration, it is not an amount directed to immiland, this money is used at the time of registration and is charged by the college/university for the review of your documentation.

No, because we are not legally authorized to do so and we do not know the internal process to process the enrollment. We will only be able to help you if you choose one of our programs because we can commit to handling your application (we have direct contact, access to applications and data management) and we are trained for them.

‍

In case you want to apply to an institution with which we do not have an agreement, we recommend writing to them directly and once you have obtained the LOA, our visa team will be happy to help you with the visa process.

When the program indicates that it is Fast Track, or can also be called accelerated, it is because it does NOT have a long summer vacation.

No, unfortunately we need proof of language proficiency even if you wish to do a pathway (see FAQ number 2 to understand the pathway). At Immiland we do not send incomplete documents because in order for a Canadian institution to reserve a place for you, you must have all the documents including the language test.

‍

Only Lambton College in the province of Ontario has a 100% free internal test with us that you can take if you wish to enroll in this institution once we send your application.

These extra fees vary according to the program you select and usually consist of fees such as medical insurance, international fees, books, transportation, among others. The approximate cost you should add is CAD$1,000 to CAD$5,000 to the annual tuition fee.

The co-op is a professional internship (work experience while you are still a student), it does not affect your residency nor does it count towards your residency (with very specific exceptions in Quebec). Your benefit is that you gain work experience in the professional area of study, which will benefit you in the future when you graduate to find your first job.

It varies a lot from program to program, the recommendation is that you first select the program of interest and we will gladly send you the details of the program, with all the admission requirements including the language level required for admission.

‍

However, for a technical (undergraduate) program the level normally required is an academic IELTS of 6.0. For a postgraduate program an academic IELTS of 6.5 /7 and for a master's program an academic IELTS of 7 and above. With differences in their bands depending on the selected program.

Depending on the college selected, a clear example: for the September intake the deadlines (enrollment deadline) is March, however, programs close as they fill up and waiting until March could significantly decrease the programs that are still available.

Enrollment normally opens 10 to 12 months prior to the start of classes, as soon as enrollment opens we can register you, as long as you have ALL the requirements we ask for. It is recommended to apply at least 7 months in advance (because you must take into account the time it takes to process the letter of acceptance (LOA) which will be approximately 4 weeks to 8 weeks sometimes 10 depending on the college/university) plus the time it takes to process the study permit (approximately 4 to 6 months).

The most common intakes are: September where we have available 100% of the educational programs , January we have available 70% of the educational programs and May we have available in 50% of the educational programs. It will depend on the program you select.

All our educational institutions are part of the DLI and have PGWP so if you do things right in the future you will be eligible for a residency (following the immigration plan of your ICCRC member consultant).

When we enroll through Immiland for the main program in one of our partner colleges or universities, you must present the language level through one of the tests accepted by the college or university, if you do not meet the minimum required , it is the college who places you in a level and indicates the time and cost of the same. The pathway is taken before the program, the college gives you a letter of acceptance program + pathway, this will be conditional, which means that to start the program you must successfully complete the pathway.

‍

You must take into account that when you go through the pathway, neither you nor your partner (if applicable) will be able to work until you complete the pathway and obtain an unconditional letter of admission.

‍

To know the cost and time of the pathway we need the language test. IELTS Academic type or TOEFL IBT type. You should not enroll without the language test.

‍

If you already have university studies, it is advisable to study a graduate or master degree program, however, if the program of interest is an undergraduate program that adds to your profile, i.e., 80% of the curriculum is new and is consistent with your work or professional experience, then it could be considered as an option.

Yes, you must have a study permit and be enrolled full-time in an academic, professional or vocational training program at a DLI.

However, your study permit must clearly state that you have the ability to work off-campus. If so, you are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week while:
-Your program is in session, and
-Full-time during scheduled breaks in the academic calendar.

You may work for any employer in Canada that is not on the list of ineligible employers.

In addition, if your program has a mandatory work component for graduation you must have the appropriate work permit for your co-op.

No, before you apply for a closed (employer-specific) work permit, your employer must give you:

-A copy of your employment contract or job offer
-1 of the following:
*A copy of a labor market impact assessment (LMIA)
*An offer of employment number (for LMIA-exempt workers)

-If you are allowed to enter Canada, the border services officer may allow you to stay for less or more than 6 months.

-If so, they will put the date you must leave in your passport. They may also give you a document.

-If you do not get a stamp in your passport, you can stay for 6 months from the day you entered Canada or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

-If you need a stamp, you can ask a border services officer for one. If you arrive at an airport that uses primary inspection kiosks, ask the border services officer after you finish at the kiosk.

-If you wish to overstay your authorized stay, you must request an extension at least 30 days before the authorized end of your stay. If you are coming from a visa-exempt country (you used eTA to enter), you are still required to extend your stay as a visitor if you need to overstay your original authorized length of stay.

You can sponsor your parents, grandparents, spouse, domestic partner, children. It is even possible to sponsor relatives such as a brother, sister, aunt or uncle in quite specific and very unusual situations (consult your immigration consultant).You can also sponsor a relative, related by blood or adoption, of any age, if you meet all of these conditions:

*Orphaned grandchild

-You (the potential sponsor) have no relative (aunt or uncle or any of the above relatives), who is:

No, a work permit or study permit is not a visa. You will not automatically be issued a visitor visa if you extend your work or study permit. If you need a new visitor visa, you will need to file a separate application. The visa is required if you want to travel and be able to return to Canada to continue your studies or work. Do not leave Canada with an expired visa (even if your study or work permit has already been extended), because you will not be able to return without a valid visa.

You may be eligible for an open work permit if:

-You are an international student who graduated from a DLI and are eligible for the PGWP
-You are a student who can no longer meet the costs of your studies (indigent student - conditions apply)
