Frequently asked questions
What are the average processing times for a Canadian visa?
Visitor visa: 2 to 8 weeks. Study permit: 4 to 12 weeks. Work permit: 6 to 16 weeks. Express Entry: 6 to 12 months after the invitation. Times vary by country of residence and file completeness.
Can I work while studying in Canada?
Yes. With a valid study permit at a designated institution, you may work up to 24 hours/week during classes and full-time during breaks. Your spouse may obtain an open work permit.
What French/English level is needed to immigrate?
For Express Entry, a minimum CLB 7 (TEF/IELTS) is recommended. French-language draws offer favourable thresholds. For study permits, each institution sets its own requirements (often IELTS 6.0+ or equivalent).
How much settlement funds must I prove?
For a single person via Express Entry: about $14,690 CAD (IRCC amounts are revised yearly). For a student: tuition + about $20,635 CAD/year living costs, plus costs for accompanying family.
What should I do after a visa refusal?
Don’t panic: 30% of refusals are linked to incomplete files. We order your ATIP notes, analyse the refusal reasons and rebuild a stronger file. Most of our post-refusal files succeed.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes: 40% deposit at opening, then 2 to 3 instalments. We accept PayPal, bank transfer, Western Union, MoneyGram, RIA and cash at our office. Card payment is coming soon.
Can I include my family in my application?
Yes, in most programs: spouse and dependent children can be included (Express Entry, study/work permits with accompanying visas, sponsorship). Each member adds IRCC fees and specific documents.
Do I need a job offer to immigrate to Canada?
Not always. Express Entry and several PNPs allow immigration without a prior job offer. However, a validated job offer greatly boosts your score and opens dedicated streams.
Do you support companies that hire?
Yes: foreign talent sourcing, LMIA, work permits, employer compliance and onboarding. We offer tailor-made placement contracts with a guaranteed shortlist.
How can I track my file?
From your client area: real-time status, step timeline, validated/rejected documents, advisor messages, payments and appointments. You are notified at every step.
