Study permits in Canada, recommendations for immigration agencies?

[t3359]

Hi...

I'm looking for a good immigration agency who could help with getting a study permit. Any recommendations?

In particular, I'm curious as to what factors contribute into the granting or denial of a study permit if a college has issued a letter of acceptance to the candidate. Assuming that the other official factors (finances, identity, health, etc) what are the other factors? e.g.,
- previous visitor/study/work permits
- age
- etc

thanks!

You can visit www.cic.gc.ca and fill out the forms and submit yourself, they are fairly straightforward

If the college has issued you a letter of acceptance, you have a very good chance of getting a study permit. As long as you fulfill all the requirements (finance, identity, health) like you said, i don't really see a problem getting the study permit.

Good luck!

Skip the Immigration consultant: especially for a student permit.

The biggest factor is finance. Are you able to finance your 3 or 4 years you'll be here in Canada studying. Bank accounts help or if your parents are rich.

Also, as you mention, previous visits in Canada. If you showed that you came to Canada in the past and left when you're supposed to: that's good. Though, if you were previously deported (or your family) forget about coming back to Canada.

Also, like it or not, your country of origin. If you're from a third world country, Immigration will make sure that your previous diplomas are legit and all your supporting documents are legit.

Thanks for the info.

Would the fact that previous visitor visas were extended be a factor?

Yes, but more importantly, did the person leave Canada prior to expiration of the visitor visas. As long as the person respected all terms and conditions that were imposed, there should be no problem.
