Remember that studying in Canada becomes the bridge that connects the temporary visa to the longed-for permanent residence. This is if you select the right program of study, define the province with the ideal immigration plan and if you have the required profile to apply for the visa . Although it is not a fast or easy way, I can tell you that it is worth it! My gateway to this country was a study visa and today I am months away from being a citizen and I have achieved much more than I could have ever imagined.

In Immiland you can get immigration advice to define the province that best suits you according to your profile. We also offer vocational consultation to help you define the best educational option for you in Canada and the registration to the college and career indicated at no extra cost (if we have the alliance with the educational institution). We also offer the service of translations and legalizations of all your documents and finally a team of professionals who will work on your visa as if it were our own 🙏.

Immiland has it all, and it will be our pleasure to serve you. Schedule an appointment.

‍Ifyou already know in which college or university you want to study you can complete this form and we will contact you.
