Frequently Asked Questions

What is CO-OP and does it affect my residency?

The co-op is a professional internship (work experience while you are still a student), it does not affect your residency nor does it count towards your residency (with very specific exceptions in Quebec). Your benefit is that you gain work experience in the professional area of study, which will benefit you in the future when you graduate to find your first job.

What is the CRS score and why is it important?
Deploy

The CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) is a tool used by the Canadian government to rank Express Entry candidates. It evaluates factors such as age, education, work experience, language and others. The higher your score, the more likely you are to receive an invitation to apply (ITA) for permanent residence.

What does it mean that the program is Fast track?
Deploy

When the program indicates that it is Fast Track, or can also be called accelerated, it is because it does NOT have a long summer vacation.

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.

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

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.
