Why use a regulated consultant (RCIC)?
An RCIC consultant is authorized by the CICC to represent you before IRCC. They safeguard your file, prevent costly mistakes and defend your interests — unlike unregulated intermediaries.

Can I work while studying in Canada?
Yes, most full-time international students can work off campus under the rules in force, and on campus without a separate permit. This helps fund your studies and gain experience.

What CRS score is needed for Express Entry?
There is no guaranteed score: the cut-off varies each draw (often between 480 and 540). We optimize your profile (language, education, experience) to maximize your CRS score.
What is the Express Entry processing time?
Once invited and a complete application is submitted, IRCC targets about 6 months of processing. Preparing the file beforehand can take a few weeks to a few months depending on your profile.
Costs & Payment
How much does immigrating to Canada cost?

They typically include processing fees, the right of permanent residence fee, biometrics and the medical exam. These amounts are set by the Canadian government and paid directly to IRCC.
Sponsorship & Work
Who can I sponsor to immigrate to Canada?
You can generally sponsor your spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, and under conditions your parents and grandparents. Eligibility depends on your status and financial capacity.
