Canada — Common Questions
Do I need IELTS for every Canadian university?
+
Not always — some institutions accept PTE, TOEFL, or offer alternative pathways like foundation or pathway programs. We’ll confirm what your chosen university and course require.
Can I work while studying in Canada?
+
Generally yes, for eligible students — but Canada’s rules around study permit caps and off-campus work hours have changed multiple times recently. We’ll confirm exactly what applies to you at the time you apply.
What’s the pathway to permanent residency after graduating?
+
Many graduates start with a Post-Graduation Work Permit, then apply through Express Entry or the Canadian Experience Class if eligible. We’ll map this out with you based on your specific field and province.
How much money do I need to show for my visa?
+
IRCC sets an official minimum living-cost figure that’s updated periodically, plus your tuition and travel costs. We’ll confirm the current requirement with you directly.
Can my family come with me?
+
This depends on your program level and current policy — spousal open work permit eligibility has changed recently for some study permit holders. We’ll assess your specific situation during your consultation.
