Students & post-graduation

Compliant study planning, not a promise about post-study status

Study permit, PGWP and study-permit-to-PR routes have tightened and depend on your program, institution and dates. We focus on document readiness and honest, current-rule planning.

Is this the conversation you need?

A study permit requires an acceptance letter from a designated learning institution and, depending on the province and route, additional provincial attestation documents. Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility depends on the specific program and its current rules at the time you apply — it is not automatic. Any post-study or spousal work permit claim must be checked against current, dated IRCC instructions.

What a consultation can review

  • Whether your intended program and institution fit current study-permit requirements
  • Provincial attestation letter requirements where applicable
  • Realistic, current PGWP conditions tied to your specific program — not a general assumption

General evidence categories

  • Letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution
  • Provincial attestation letter, where required
  • Passport and identity documents
  • Proof of sufficient funds
  • Statement of purpose / study plan
  • Medical or police documents where required
  • Custodianship documents for minors, where applicable

How the engagement works

  1. 1

    Explore

    We explain a study permit or post-graduation route in plain language and point you to the official program page, so you understand the route before spending time or money on it.

  2. 2

    Assess

    A consultation reviews the basic route facts and exclusions against your situation. This is a professional discussion, not an automated eligibility decision.

  3. 3

    Prepare

    We walk through general document categories together and point you to the official, personalized document checklist for your file.

  4. 4

    Engage

    If you choose to proceed, you receive a written scope of work and fee agreement before any representation begins.

  5. 5

    Submit

    Applications are filed through the official government channel. You retain control of your account, information and electronic signature throughout.

  6. 6

    After filing

    We explain what biometrics, medical, police or additional-document requests can look like, link the official processing-time estimator, and agree on how often we will update you.

  7. 7

    Decision & next step

    We do not predict or promise an outcome. Whatever the decision, we help you understand the next available step.

What we cannot promise

A consultation can review your facts against current program instructions. No representative can guarantee eligibility, approval, invitation or processing time — government authorities make all decisions.

This is a general document-category guide, not a complete personal checklist. IRCC/ESDC/provincial forms, fees and evidence vary by route, country, status and case facts. Confirm your current requirements in the official application package before filing.
