Study Permits, Work Permits, and Visitor Visas

For most types of educational programs and jobs in Canada, a study permit and work permit are required if you are not either a Canadian Citizen or a Permanent Resident.

Also, if you are not a citizen of a visa-exempt country, a person will almost certainly require a visitor visa in order to enter Canada.

Obtaining these permits have become increasingly difficult and requires a significant amount of supporting evidence for their applications.

Immigration officers assessing an application will take into consideration:

  • Travel History

  • Immigration status in country of residence

  • Family ties in Canada and in country of residence

  • Length of proposed stay in Canada

  • Purpose of visit

  • Employment prospects in country of residence

  • Current employment situation

  • Personal assets and financial status

  • any history contravening conditions of admission on a previous stay in Canada

  • submitting required documentation for the application

An immigration lawyer can assist in completing and providing advice on how best to meet these considerations. Also, we can advise if permits are required on one’s personal circumstances.

Any legal information or advice provided is only up to date as of January 2020.
