Frequently Asked Questions

I already have my letter of acceptance (LOA), I want to apply for my visa/study permit, how far in advance should I apply?

We highly recommend applying for the visa 5 to 6 months before the start of your classes. This is to avoid that due to embassy delays, your application is not processed on time and you miss the start of your classes. Please be aware that each embassy is different and they are usually very volatile with their processing times, in addition to having delays in their processes. 

If, for example, your classes start in September, then you should ALREADY be applying for the visa in April or May. That is, by April or May you should already have the LOA, the money needed for tuition and living expenses, plus other supporting documents necessary for your application.

Please note that in order to apply for your visa, you must already have a letter of acceptance in hand plus the other immigration requirements specific to your case. Therefore, we recommend that while you are in the process of getting your Letter of Acceptance (LOA), if you want Immiland to represent you in your visa process, we suggest that you sign a contract with us so that you can get information and advance the visa requirements while waiting for your LOA which is the final requirement, for having made the registration with immiland you can enjoy a 10% discount on visa services. Remember that Immiland can take up to 3 weeks to put together a comprehensive application and then the Government of Canada can take 3 to 6 months (depending on the embassy) to give you an answer,we present a timeline for you to keep in mind to plan accordingly:

  • 1. Opening of enrollment at the institutions: The institutions open enrollment approximately 1 year before the beginning of classes, the most recommended is to apply as soon as they open because most of them do not have an application deadline, as soon as the program is full it closes.
  • Estimated time for LOA issuance: After sending us all documents for registration: 2 to 12 weeks, may be more or less, depending on the College/University.
  • 3. Estimated CAQ issuance times (if going to Quebec): With LOA in hand, you should note that this may take 20 to 30 working days to be issued by the Quebec Ministry.
  • 4. Estimated translation times for your visa process: It depends on your translator and the amount of documents you send for translation, in Immiland it can take from 5 to 9 business days if you hire our translators.

In total the process takes approximately one year (sometimes more, sometimes less depending on each profile) so it is recommended to start your counseling in time so that you can prepare all the necessary documentation and start your classes at the desired start of classes.
