Frequently Asked Questions

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.

In Canada, corporate structures include joint stock companies, limited liability companies (LLCs), partnerships and sole proprietorships. Each has different tax and legal liabilities.

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).

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.

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.
