Study Permits

Study permits are required for foreign nationals who wish to study at a Canadian educational institution.

To be eligible to study in Canada, you must be accepted by a designated learning institution in Canada. Once you receive this acceptance, you can then apply for permission to study in Canada. It is important to make sure that the courses or programs that you choose in Canada conform with the type of study/work that you have completed in the past. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will be looking to see that your study plan is consistent with your past education.

You must also prove to IRCC that you are able to financially support yourself during your studies, as well as have enough money to pay all your education fees. You can include proof of financial support from your parents to help satisfy IRCC that you have the required funds to support your studies. In cases of minor children, IRCC will want to see that the minor has also made satisfactory arrangements for his or her care. In addition, IRCC will want to see that they have sufficient ties to their home country and that they will return home once they have completed their studies.

It is important to note that certain institutions and lengths of programs will qualify you for off-campus and post-graduate work permits. If you are hoping to work during or after your studies, it is important to determine ahead of time whether your chosen school/program qualifies.

Thank you Belissimo Law Group for helping my husband and I navigate through his PR application. It’s difficult to know who to trust, especially with matters as sensitive and complex as immigration but I am so happy that I made the choice and chose BLG. They not only have an incredible comprehension of immigration law but also a great deal of compassion and consideration for their clients. I truly enjoyed working with them and I feel grateful that there are people out there working hard to make a positive impact on someone else’s life like they did with mine. Thank you again BLG, I would recommend your services to anyone in the same or similar situations!

On a side note, for people out there who are thinking about hiring an immigration consultant, please talk to a law firm first. Some consultants charge the same or more for their services without needing to have a good comprehension of immigration laws.

Exceptional Legal Support from Bellissimo Law Group – Highly Recommended!

It has been a pleasure working with Bellissimo Law Group. During the challenging times of COVID, I was searching for a trusted lawyer to handle my case but had difficulty finding the right support. That changed when I reached out to Bellissimo Law Group.

From the very beginning, they understood my case and provided expert guidance. My first application involved LMIA, work permits, and extensions, all of which they handled with professionalism and efficiency. With their support, I was able to navigate multiple legal processes successfully, ultimately obtaining my permanent residency in Canada.

Despite delays caused by longer processing times during COVID, the team remained supportive throughout. A special mention to Ms. Lijing Cao and her associates, who managed my applications from start to finish and played a crucial role in securing my permanent status.

I highly recommend Bellissimo Law Group to anyone seeking reliable, professional, and dedicated legal assistance!

I cannot express enough gratitude for the incredible support and expertise provided by Mr Mario and Keely for my dad’s medical inadmissibility case. I retained their law firm after receiving the PFL . From the very beginning, they guided us through the complexities of the immigration process with professionalism, care, and honesty. They not only helped us navigate legal challenges but also provided advice that quite literally saved my dad’s life. They prepared a strong mitigation plan for my dad’s case that worked in our favour. I was particularly impressed by their quick response time and willingness to address any concerns promptly. What sets them apart is their genuine compassion and dedication—they truly care about their clients and go above and beyond to make a difference. I would definitely recommend them to anyone with their immigration issues especially for medical inadmissibility.

Nancy Quick

I contacted Bellissimo Immigration Law Group after researching the best options for my move to Canada. The firm was highly recommended and my experience with them confirms that they earned their excellent reputation.

The team at Bellissimo was thorough and professional. My questions were answered promptly, and they processed my application for a Certificate of Canadian Citizenship resulting in receipt of my certificate much sooner than expected.

During my career in Finance and Administration I had very high standards for those providing services to the companies I worked with. Special recognition to Amanda D'Angelo and Hannah Cho. They exceeded my expectations!

I have recommended Bellissimo to friends - and I will be working with them again as my family explores immigration options.

Adair Donohue-Miller

Immigration law is so complex. I got all my questions answered, and then even more helpful information than expected regarding other suitable options for our situation. The call was quick but thorough. It covered all necessary steps, and I finished the call with clarity and peace of mind knowing we had fantastic options available to us. It's hard to put a price tag on peace of mind!
