A: Canada has been facing some challenges with their aging population, meaning its population is old and unable to work. Canada is facing a lot of labour shortage also, which is why they have created many immigration programs to attract foreign skilled people to immigrate permanently.
A: Immigration Canada has recently released their immigration goals for 2022-2024. They plan to receive over 1.3 Million new immigrants over the next 3 years.
A: There is no age cap for education. However, when applying for a study visa, you have to prove how genuine your application is and show the ties back home.
After a certain age, your application becomes more questionable, and the immigration officer might question your real reasons for coming to Canada
A: Yes, you can create your own application. CICC clearly states that you can self-represent yourself. However, we have seen that a lot of self-made applications are rejected or lead to misrepresentation. Some applications are more complex than others, in that case, we recommend hiring an immigration consultant to better guide you. If you are unsure about your decision we are more than happy to book
an initial consultation with you and discuss your possibilities.
A: Whether applying for a study permit, investor program, or Express Entry, a valid language test is necessary for immigration. You can take any of these approved language tests:
CELPIP: Canadian English Language Proficiency Index Program (you must take the CELPIP-General test)
IELTS: International English Language Testing System ( Academic or General training)
TEF Canada: Test d’évaluation de français
TCF Canada: Test de connaissance du français
Canadian Academic English
Language (CAEL) assessment;
Pearson Test of English (PTE) – Academic
Duolingo English Test
Cambridge Assessment English
Please verify your program to know which test you should take. Not all tests are eligible for any program.
A: Canada has always prioritized family applications. Family reunification has always been a pillar of the Canadian government. There are many programs inside the family sponsorship class
Spousal or common law sponsorship: Inland or out the land, you can sponsor your partner for PR if you are a permanent resident, a Canadian citizen
Dependent children: You can sponsor your children, adopted children, and common-law children through this application
Parents and Grandparents program
Family sponsorship allows family members to live, work, and study in Canada. As a sponsor, you need to prove you will:
Meet basic needs of food, housing, and clothing for your family member
Be able to support the family member financially for a period of time
To work in Canada as a foreign national, you will need a work permit.
There are two types of work permits:
Open work permit that allows you to work for any employer in Canada without restrictions. for example as a PGWP holder, spousal work permit and more.
Employer-specific work permit that specifies the name of the employer you can work for, location, and for how long you can work. Those work permits are usually done through an LMIA or Intra company transfer.
As an international student, you may also be eligible for a PGWP ( Post-graduate work permit), usually valid for the same length as your studies. Many programs allow you to work for 20 hours a week on and off campus while pursuing your studies.
The good news is most of the work permits can create a pathway for you to become a permanent resident after a certain time.
