Congratulations to students whose Study Visas to Canada have been approved & will be starting school this Winter (January).
When you eventually land in Canada, here are some important things to note:
- As a student, you are allowed to work 20 hours per week.
- Before buying textbooks, check with Lecturers if okay with you borrowing from Library rather than owning.
- Aside from the busy cities like Toronto etc., buses run every 30 mins on weekdays & every 1hr on weekends.
- If you don't drive, check bus schedule before going out.
- Please get a very good winter jacket, winter boots, & have your gloves with you at all times. Please.
- If you can't afford the school residence, you can rent very close to the school.
- It is cheaper to cook than to eat out.
As part of the requirement to be recognized by the ICCRC (Immigration Consultation of Canada Regulatory Council), in 2020 I went back to school for an Immigration program that covered:
- Canadian Immigration Law & Refugee Law
- Administrative Law & Tribunals
- Legal Research & Writing
- Immigration Law Procedures
- All Immigration Pathways (over 80 of them)
- Immigration Tribunal Processes & Division (RPD, IAD, IRB) etc.
Upon completion with a distinction, I sat for the Immigration Llicense exam earlier this year which I also passed
I am glad it was all worth it as I can now personally and formally represent anyone looking to move to Canada or stay in Canada.
Feels good to be moving from just sharing immigration tips to being a member of the ICCRC body.
