Do you provide pet-friendly homes?
Deploy

a) With our suppliers we can definitely help you find homes that accept pets, however you should know that in Montreal cats are more commonly accepted in buildings than dogs. With this information we are not telling you that we cannot find homes that accept dogs, but that the availability is more limited.

b) Please note that each building has its own rules and restrictions.

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.

Can I activate my Canadian number and use it in my home country?
Deploy

No, the telephone number is activated 24 to 48 hours prior to your arrival in Canada and works on Canadian territory.

I am self-employed / freelancer, how can I document my work experience?
Deploy

If you are independent or freelance, the following are examples and alternatives that you can present:

  • Company registration or alternatively,
  • Registration as independent or alternatively,
  • Service contracts with customers or alternatively,
  • Letters from customers 2 or 3 attesting that you have rendered services to them.

Any of the above documents will allow us to attest to your self-employed occupations. In a complementary, but not main way, you can optionally add any of the following, to strengthen the genuineness of your business: 

  • Self-employed business cards -this document alone does not carry much weight for the officer, ideally it should be accompanied by one of the documents mentioned above.

Web presence: website, facebook -this document alone does not carry much weight for the officer, ideally it should be accompanied by one of those mentioned above-.

I want to apply for a visa, do I need to apostille my documents?
Deploy

No, it only requires translations by a certified translator.
