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.

Do my supporting document translations expire?
Deploy

A translation cannot change over time and must be valid indefinitely unless the original document has changed or expired. If the signature of a certified translator or notary has expired, it does not invalidate the translation. As long as the translator's certification was valid at the time of signing, the translation remains valid.

The only time the translation will expire and a new translation will be required is if the original document has expired or has changed and the applicant submits a new document.

How long does it take to complete a regular translation?
Deploy

The estimated time to complete a regular translation is 3 to 7 business days. The exact period will depend on the number of documents sent and the complexity of the content.

What if I don't like any of the accommodation options offered by Immiland?
Deploy

a) Immiland will provide up to 3 accommodation options in a document with the details of the properties, taking into account the requirements of the clients.

b) Please note that in most cases there will not be options that fit 100% of these requirements, which means that it is very necessary for you to have flexibility in your requirements.

c) If you want Immiland to spend more time looking for more housing options for you, that could be done but will have an additional cost.

d) If you want to request the cancellation of the accommodation service, there will be no refund and the second part of the settlement service will be available to take upon arrival. This means that the client will have to find an accommodation option by himself.

What is an ICU?
Deploy

It is the unique identification code that Canada issues to all persons who have applied in the past for immigration processing (whether temporary or permanent). If you have never applied to Canada then you do not have a UCI yet.

Can I work as a tourist in Canada?
Deploy

No, it is illegal to work in Canada without proper authorization (such as a work permit or permanent residency).
