Frequently Asked Questions
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).

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.
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.
Scoring is based on four broad categories:
- Basic human factors (age, education, languages, experience)
- Spouse or partner (if applicable)
- Skill transfer factors (combinations that increase your value)
- Additional factors (such as studies in Canada, siblings in Canada, valid job offer, provincial nomination)
The maximum total score is 1200 points.
Because these factors determine your eligibility for immigration programs such as Express Entry, work permits, and provincial programs in Canada.
