Just as the CELPIP and IELTS tests assess English language proficiency and are accepted by Canadian immigration, French speakers prove their skills through the TEF (Test d’évaluation de français) exam. According to the official Canadian website, this is actually one of the exams that can be taken, as the list follows with the “Test d’Évaluation de Français (TEFAQ)” and the “TEF pour la naturalisation”.

French (language) knowledge test.

It is the spouse of the holder of a work permit.

It is the study permit that the student receives when he or she arrives in Canada.

In this application format the international student sends the documents and the average processing time by the Government is up to 20 days.
Applicants who wish to apply for this program must submit additional documents along with the documents already required for the study visa application.
Some requirements requested for this program:
– Have the result of the IELTS English proficiency test (general training or academic) scoring at least a 6 in each test skill or the TEF French proficiency test scoring at least a 7 in each skill.⠀

– Have proof of payment for the first year of your study program.

Permanent Residence.

PNPs are the specific programs that allow Canadian provinces and territories to select people who wish to immigrate to Canada and who are interested in settling in a particular province. The goal is to attract immigrants to fill the economic needs of the region, usually from a job offer. Some of them are connected with Express Entry (EE), so for many it is the fastest way to obtain permanent residency in the country. The only exceptions are the northern Canadian territory of Nunavut and Quebec. The province of Quebec has the authority to set its own selection criteria for immigration.

Letter of intent, a document that must often be added to the visa process.

The LMIA – Labor Market Impact Assessment – is a document that many employers need to have in order to hire a foreign worker.
A favorable LMIA indicates that the employer can hire a foreign worker to do the work that no Canadian worker or permanent resident is available to do. After the employer receives the approved LMIA, the applicant (foreign worker) can apply for a temporary work permit (Closed Work Permit).

The arrival of the ITA is a long-awaited moment for anyone who dreams of immigrating to Canada! This document represents that the applicant who is registered with Express Entry has achieved the score of the last draw, and is therefore very close to becoming a permanent resident in Canada. Once the ITA is received, it is time to send all the documentation and proofs declared in the EE, and wait for the final result for the arrival of the Permanent Residency.

The IRCC is the Canadian federal government department responsible for handling all immigration-related matters, such as visas, permits, permanent residency, citizenship applications, asylum, and so on.

IRCC was formerly known as CIC – Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

Study equivalence/ diploma equivalence.

Besides the CELPIP that we explained earlier, another way to prove English proficiency is by taking the IELTS, which is available in many parts of the world, including Brazil. It has been applied for more than 25 years, and for immigration purposes the “General Training” version is accepted. It has been applied for more than 25 years, and for immigration purposes the “General Training” version is accepted.

It is a closed work permit, meaning that the foreign worker can only work for the company that hired him/her.

It is usually done for processes based on an LMIA or LMIA-exempt, in the case of professionals who will work in a position that is LMIA-exempt, e.g. university researchers, religious professionals, professionals who are hired through international agreements.

In the process of proving English and/or French language proficiency, the Canadian government uses a kind of “ranking”, the CLB, which ranks the candidate based on their scores on official tests (CELPIP, IELTS, TEF and TCF). With this, the equivalence of what was achieved in each of the competencies evaluated is made, and the result generates a final score that will be considered for immigration purposes.

This is one of the exams accepted by Canadian immigration as proof of English language proficiency. It is available in some countries like Canada, the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Australia, England, China, India, and the Philippines.

Certificate of acceptance from Quebec. It is the document that every student must apply for before applying for a study visa when studying in the province of Quebec.

Children above the age of 5 also need the approved CAQ to study.

The first step after receiving a visa denial is to apply for the ATIP.
The ATIP is a document where the government states in more detail the reason why the immigration officer denied the application.

The average response time is 30 days, but delays may occur.
