IMMIGRATION

A work permit in Canada is an official document that allows foreign nationals to work in Canada for employers for a specific period of time. It outlines the conditions under which the individual can work, ensuring compliance with Canadian immigration laws.

Spousal sponsorship in Canada allows a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to sponsor their spouse or common-law partner for immigration, enabling them to obtain permanent residency. 

A travel consent letter by parent(s) may be requested by immigration authorities when entering or leaving a foreign country, airline agents or Canadian officials when re-entering Canada. Failure to produce a letter upon request may result in delays or refusal to enter or exit a country.

A student visa in Canada, officially known as a study permit, allows international students to reside in Canada while pursuing their education at designated learning institutions. This visa is essential for students who wish to study for more than six months and requires proof of acceptance from a Canadian school, and sufficient financial resources.

Permanent residency in Canada gives a person the right to live, work, and study in Canada, and to apply for citizenship after a certain amount of time. Permanent Residents have many of the same rights and responsibilities as Canadian citizens.
