Study in Canada
Education in Canada
One of the most popular methods of immigration to Canada is by becoming a full-time student at a Canadian college or university. After graduation from the Canadian college or university, a former student is eligible to get Canadian work experience and apply for immigration. This makes education in Canada a particularly attractive option for students from all over the world.
Opportunities:
- Language Schools
- Bachelor Degree Programs
- Internships
- Master Degree Programs
- 1-2 years Certificate/Diploma programs
- Summer camps – summer youth programs for children (10-17 years old), includes accommodations, food, transfers, excursions and entertaining program after school.
In order to apply for a student visa, you are required to be accepted into an accredited Canadian college or university. Educational institutions set different admissions requirements for various programs. STARTUM Consulting can help you choose the college and study program most suitable for your needs. The following factors are considered when choosing an education institution for our clients: budget, language, previous education, planned subject of study, and other client preferences.
When a letter of acceptance is received from a Canadian college or university, the student will need to prepare documents and apply for a student visa. When applying for this type of visa, the required documents will cover 3 key areas:
- Proof of finance (ability to pay tuition fee and housing expenses)
- Proof of ties with your country of citizenship.
- Motivation letter describing why do you want to study in Canada, how this is connected with your career path and education background.
Applications for student visas can be submitted online which makes it easier to process documents from all over the world. Original documents are not required.
Work in Canada
To be able to work in Canada, foreign professionals must receive authorization (work permit).
A work permit is a document issued by Immigration Canada that allows foreign nationals to work for a limited time in a specific job for a specific employer in Canada.
We can provide assistance in:
- Preparing to apply for a job in Canada
- Representing a Canadian employer in obtaining authorization to hire foreign workers (LMIA)
- Preparing files for submission to Immigration Canada
- Representing clients before Immigration Canada to obtain a work permit and entry visa.
In most instances, a work permit will only be issued by an immigration officer after Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC) has approved the job offer from a Canadian employer to a foreign national.
Being employed in Canada is the most reliable way to immigrate to Canada.
Canadian employers must meet requirements established by Ministry of Labour. These include being officially registered, financially stable, and active for a minimum of one year. More importantly, the company must provide supporting documents to prove that it is not able to hire required workers in Canada. To apply for a right to hire foreign workers – LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) and submit a request to invite, the company must pay a fee as set by the government. The fee will not be refunded if the request is denied. Therefore, the Canadian employer must be highly motivated to hire foreign workers from outside of Canada.
STARTUM Consulting has extensive experience in the LMIA process for different types of Canadian employers as well as employment support for people willing to work in Canada.
