Frequently Asked Questions

What level of English do I need to be accepted at the school?

Depending on the level of studies you intend to pursue and the school requirements, different proficiency levels are required. We can further discuss with you your circumstances and come up with a plan that best fits your goals. 

Is it a problem for my study permit application when I do not have enough money to pay my tuition and living expenses but my family will support me?

You must prove that you have enough funds to cover tuition fees and living expenses. These funds can also come from your family. Which exact documents you should submit to prove that you have the funds available depends on your situation or on your family’s financial circumstances. As part of our services, we will go through all this with you. We will discuss your financial situation with you in detail. Together we will come up with a financial plan that meets the financial requirements for your study permit  application.

As a result, we can tap into their continuous professional development and networks. Also, we follow the latest industry news and trends on various platforms. As a team, we discuss any changes that may affect our clients. This is how we keep the whole team up to date with the latest immigration regulations and policies.

I applied for a visitor visa to Canada several years back but my application was refused. What does that mean for my application for a study permit?

If you were refused a Canadian visitor visa before, it doesn't mean your study permit will be automatically refused. Each application is assessed based on the information provided at the time. We will review your previous application and assess your current situation to come up with the best plan for your successful study permit application.

Tomi Xhelili

I was introduced to this Immigration Office by my sister who trusted in their professionalism and obtained a study permit to study in Canada without any issues. ... At the time I applied for a Study Permit my application was refused. At first I was upset that my application was declined because the quality of my file and the work that Aportunita Staff put into it was incredible, but they were really nice and close to me and helped me to not give up and make the decision to apply again...We tried one more time and this time we also tried a ‘Reconsideration Motion’ that resulted in a successful attempt to make my dream come true and helped me obtain Study Permit in Canada. I had an excellent experience and I must say that they have given exceptional service… My experience with Gary Kalaci’s office was perhaps one of my easiest and flawless experiences with Immigration and I highly recommend anyone who is looking for a immigration solution office that they will get definite results by choosing them. Definitely I give them 5 Stars Rating! Thank you Gary and everyone in the Staff!
