Our team can advise on:

• Study permits: study permit applications, extensions and changes of conditions, student status conditions, work authorization for international students, etc.
• Work permits: Post-graduation work permits (PGWP).
• Visas: temporary resident visas (TRVs), electronic travel authorizations (eTAs).
• Student status: impact of part-time studies, and/or taking a leave from studies, on immigration status.

Please note that our advisers cannot represent you in your applications to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

If the topic of your immigration question isn’t listed above, or if it relates to permanent residence or citizenship, we recommend that you consult a licensed immigration professional authorized to advise you on these topics. You can find an immigration professional through the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC).
