Frequently Asked Questions

As an international student, can you work in Canada without a work permit?

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.

Other questions you may be interested in

Do you provide pet-friendly homes?
Deploy

a) With our suppliers we can definitely help you find homes that accept pets, however you should know that in Montreal cats are more commonly accepted in buildings than dogs. With this information we are not telling you that we cannot find homes that accept dogs, but that the availability is more limited.

b) Please note that each building has its own rules and restrictions.

When can I register for the selected program?
Deploy

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).

Is it necessary to open a bank account with the institutions that Immiland has alliances with?
Deploy

No, it is not necessary, however we recommend doing so because of the previous experience our clients have had.

  • Birth 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.

What is the language level required for admission?
Deploy

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.
