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.

Who can provide sworn translations for immigration purposes in Canada?
Deploy

Translations for immigration purposes in Canada must be done by a qualified professional. The translator must have experience in both the source and target language (usually English or French). Some recognized authorities that can perform sworn translations are:

  • Sworn translators accredited by a Canadian provincial or territorial regulatory body.
  • Membership in a recognized translation association, such as the Association of Translators and Interpreters of Ontario (ATIO) or the Canadian Council of Translators, Terminologists and Interpreters (CTTIC).
  • Translation services authorized by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
  • Translators from outside Canada who are accredited (officially recognized or authorized) in the country where the translation is being done. An affidavit must be included stating that the translation is an accurate version of the original text. The translator does so before a commissioner authorized to administer oaths in the country where he/she resides. The commissioner or notary public must be fluent in English or French in order to administer the oath.
  • Notary publics or attorneys authorized to certify translations.
Can I register without the language test?
Deploy

No, unfortunately we need proof of language proficiency even if you wish to do a pathway (see FAQ number 2 to understand the pathway). At Immiland we do not send incomplete documents because in order for a Canadian institution to reserve a place for you, you must have all the documents including the language test.

Only Lambton College in the province of Ontario has a 100% free internal test with us that you can take if you wish to enroll in this institution once we send your application.

When I extend my work or study permit within Canada, will I automatically be issued a new visa in my passport for the date of the extension?
Deploy

No, a work permit or study permit is not a visa. You will not automatically be issued a visitor visa if you extend your work or study permit. If you need a new visitor visa, you will need to file a separate application. The visa is required if you want to travel and be able to return to Canada to continue your studies or work. Do not leave Canada with an expired visa (even if your study or work permit has already been extended), because you will not be able to return without a valid visa.

Is there any cost to take the educational process with you?
Deploy

No, we do not charge an administration fee, it will only be charged if the college/university charges for your registration, it is not an amount directed to immiland, this money is used at the time of registration and is charged by the college/university for the review of your documentation.
