Several factors can influence the turnaround time of a translation, including the length of the text, the complexity of the content, the availability of translators and the current workload.

A joint stock company is a legal entity separate from its owners. To incorporate, you must register with the appropriate province, define the shareholders and file the incorporation documents.
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.
No, a work permit or study permit is not a visa. You will not automatically be issued a visitor visa if you extend your work or study permit. If you need a new visitor visa, you will need to file a separate application. The visa is required if you want to travel and be able to return to Canada to continue your studies or work. Do not leave Canada with an expired visa (even if your study or work permit has already been extended), because you will not be able to return without a valid visa.
No, because we are not legally authorized to do so and we do not know the internal process to process the enrollment. We will only be able to help you if you choose one of our programs because we can commit to handling your application (we have direct contact, access to applications and data management) and we are trained for them.
In case you want to apply to an institution with which we do not have an agreement, we recommend writing to them directly and once you have obtained the LOA, our visa team will be happy to help you with the visa process.
