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.

  • Company registration or alternatively,
  • Registration as independent or alternatively,

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.

The minimum score varies according to each draw, but is usually between 470 and 510 points. Having more than 500 points generally puts you in a good position, although this may change over time and depending on the type of draw (general or category specific).

How long can I stay in Canada as a visitor?
Deploy

-If you are allowed to enter Canada, the border services officer may allow you to stay for less or more than 6 months.

-If so, they will put the date you must leave in your passport. They may also give you a document.

-If you do not get a stamp in your passport, you can stay for 6 months from the day you entered Canada or until your passport expires, whichever comes first.

-If you need a stamp, you can ask a border services officer for one. If you arrive at an airport that uses primary inspection kiosks, ask the border services officer after you finish at the kiosk.

-If you wish to overstay your authorized stay, you must request an extension at least 30 days before the authorized end of your stay. If you are coming from a visa-exempt country (you used eTA to enter), you are still required to extend your stay as a visitor if you need to overstay your original authorized length of stay.

How do I submit translated documents for immigration to Canada?

  • Include the original document along with its translation.
  • Make sure that each translated page includes a statement signed by the translator or translation service certifying its accuracy and completeness.
  • The translator must provide his or her full name, affidavit and stamps.
  • If the translation has been done by a sworn translator or a member of a recognized association, please include information about their certification or membership.
  • It is essential to check the specific requirements set forth by the IRCC or consult with an attorney or immigration consultant to ensure that you meet all necessary translation and documentation requirements.
