Other questions you may be interested in

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

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.

What happens if you do not meet the conditions of the study permit?
Deploy

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.

What documents require translation to immigrate to Canada?
Deploy

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.

I am married and my partner is applying with me as a dependent, what do I need to consider regarding documenting the relationship?
Deploy

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.

My study/work permit was issued for less time than the duration of my study program or job offer, why?
Deploy

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.
