1. Choose your program: Your Educational Counsellor will work with you individually to go over your options. We take into account the length, cost, location, and course schedule when making our recommendations.

2. Submission of Application to school: After you and your Educational Counsellor have come to a decision on what the best level of study and educational program is for you, we will help you get everything ready to submit your application to the school of your choice. You need to have an acceptance letter from a Canadian designated learning institution (DLI) before you can apply for a study permit, and we will be more than happy to assist you in that process.

3. Applying for the study permit: With your acceptance letter in hand, you're one step closer to studying in Canada! The next thing you'll need to do is apply for your study permit through Canadian immigration. If you want to attend a school in Quebec, you will need to obtain a certificat d’acceptation du Québec (CAQ) before you can apply for your study permit. However, don't worry - your Educational Counsellor can help you prepare and submit your immigration application with ease. Plus, if you're married, there's a chance that your spouse may be eligible to apply for an open work permit as well!

4. Understand the Immigration Options: You will be an eligible candidate for permanent residence in Canada if you have completed a Canadian educational credential. The programs related to Canadian immigration are frequently changing, so it’s difficult to say which option would be best for you. After you have completed your study program, your overseas educational consultant will go over all of the available options with you that you can take in order to pursue permanent residence!
