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.

Do you have international SIM card shipping?

Yes, you only have to request it at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance so that it can be delivered to your residence at no additional cost.

What factors can affect the turnaround time of a translation?
Deploy

Several factors can influence the turnaround time of a translation, including the length of the text, the complexity of the content, the availability of translators and the current workload. For a more accurate estimate, we recommend that you provide specific details about your translation needs when requesting a quote.

What is the process for appealing an immigration decision in Canada?
Deploy

You may file an appeal to the Federal Court for judicial review if you believe the decision was unfair or there was an error in the process.

Can I register without the language test?
Deploy

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.

What is the CO-OP work permit?
Deploy

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.
