Temporary visas
Visit, study or reunite — temporary stays, done right.
From a short visit to a multi-year study program, every temporary application turns on the same question: can you show the officer you'll comply with the conditions of your stay? We prepare files that answer it convincingly.

Frequently asked
Why are visitor visas often refused?+
The most common reasons are insufficient ties to your home country, weak travel history, and finances that don't match the stated trip. A well-prepared application addresses these directly.
How much do I need to show for a study permit?+
Since January 2024 the cost-of-living requirement is CAD $20,635 for a single applicant, in addition to first-year tuition and travel. More is required for accompanying family members.
Can I work while studying?+
Yes — eligible study permit holders can work off-campus up to 24 hours per week during academic sessions (under the rule effective late 2024) and full-time during scheduled breaks.
