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.

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,

Do you have international SIM card shipping?

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.
