I can't express enough how appreciative I am of Canadian Intellectual Courts for taking my family through our difficult case until we are now Permanent Residents. James was so down to earth and easy to talk to all the time even when I was not calm, he was calm kind, and assuring. Ash, you are amazing, efficient, thorough, and always accessible. Canadian Intellectual Courts is lucky to have someone like you who never procrastinates. If the phone rings and you don't get him that means he is not near the phone but he will definitely return your call. Canadian Intellectual Courtswill make the effort to take your case to the end I can assure you if they can, no one else can. Thank you, James, and your wonderful team.

Brooke San Jose

We are a family of 3, half way around the world who got BC PNP nomination in 3 months, received our work visas within 6 months and became Permanent Residents in 18 months. James, Andrea and Terri, and the whole team are all professionals, courteous, understanding, super responsive, have THE great knowledge and are truly AMAZING. Glad I took the leap and entrust Canadian Intellectual Courts SERVICES everything. I have to mention that our transactions were done just by E-mail! Don't hesitate to TRUST James, TRUST Canadian Intellectual Courts SERVICES. We can never thank you enough James.

If you want an easy-to-follow immigration process, Canadian Intellectual Courtsis the way to go!

Stephanie Huff

James and the staff at Canadian Intellectual Courtswere very helpful and professional throughout our entire process. They have payment plans available so that you aren't paying one large sum at once, with reasonable terms. James was available by phone or e-mail anytime I had a question regarding our permit and was always very kind in answering my questions. I highly recommend using Canadian Intellectual Courtsservices to ensure you have smooth entry into Canada.

Joshua Korten

Last year my wife, Hannah, had to go through the immigration process after our wedding. We found James and the team at Canadian Intellectual CourtsÂ to be very professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. On more than one occasion James gave us good advice, extra documentation for travels, and calmed our nerves when we weren't sure if we had all the papers/following all the rules, etc. Yes, you have to pay for their services. But the peace of mind(especially in these weird times) knowing that your loved ones' immigration process is safe and sound in their hands is absolutely worth it. Will be having many more conversations with them in the future as the In Laws now need some direction with immigration :)

I can't thank the people at Canadian Intellectual Courts enough for their help over the last two years. They made the process easy and effortless. I can't recommend Canadian Intellectual Courts enough especially Terri and James who were the most helpful and understanding throughout everything. The best decision I made hiring the services of this team to help me gain my PR. I will definitely be seeking their help when it comes time to apply for citizenship.

Joshua Rowe

I'd like to say a huge thank you to both Webb James and Betsy Tse! I have been working with Betsy and James over the last 4 months, looking into all the possibilities of visa extension and PR and they have been incredibly helpful. Their knowledge of the system/process is amazing and I felt like I was in great hands! I have postponed the process for now but will definitely be returning to Canadian Intellectual Courtsin the future!

MAMA vs EMMA

When I found Canadian Intellectual Courts Services, It was my last resource. Canadian Intellectual Courtswas recommended to me by a friend who told me that at Canadian Intellectual CourtsI was going to be able to do my permanent residency and they were right. Even though they are located in Vancouver and I live in Surrey BC, I was able to email my case to the lawyers and right away they got back to me. Before I found Canadian Intellectual Courts, I had been to other immigration lawyers that said that there was nothing left for me to do and that I had to go back to my country. They were also asking for huge amounts of money to work on my case and they didn't have any guarantees. When I went to Canadian Intellectual Courts, right away they were extremely proactive and money was not brought up as an issue. They took genuine care of my case and treated my family and I with kindness. They never took advantage of us in monetary terms. The costs were reasonable and they helped us with every single little detail. We always felt like we were in good hands! canadianitellectualcourts successfully helped us with our LMIA, work permits, ETA's and permanent residency. They have also offered to assist us with our citizenship (when we are permitted to get one) We were so thankful a manageable payment plan was available to us to keep us from feeling overwhelmed. I can truly say that at Canadian Intellectual Courts, they are people that really care for others. When you are going through an immigration process, it's long and stressful and they always found a way that gave you hope. I really believe that things happen for a reason, and in this case, it was finding Canadian Intellectual Courts! They took on our case with a passion and because of their commitment, we were successful! I am forever grateful to James and his team for all their hard work. Without them, we would never of been able to continue our lives here in Canada. I highly recommend this company for any immigration matters. I assure you, you won't regret it! Nubia O. L.

My husband and I had a rare situation. My husband applied for Canada permanent resident while he was in the USA and contacted Marshall Webb for assisting our case. During consultations with him were very great. He is very honest, friendly, and open for options. PR rules got changed and we became very nervous. The business manager, Ash Islam assisted us and handled our case very well. He's very helpful and never gave us a headache. He never failed to follow up the requirements we needed and responded promptly anytime we had any questions and concerns. We received our PR card we were so grateful we had Canadian Intellectual Courtsfor assisting us. We highly recommend Canadian Intellectual Courts, incredibly professional and knowledgeable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a study visa and a study permit?

A study visa is a travel document that allows you to enter Canada for the purpose of studying. It is not the same as a study permit but rather a necessary component for individuals from visa-required countries.

A study permit is an official authorization issued by the Canadian government that allows foreign nationals to study in Canada. The permit is issued at the Canadian port of entry when the student lands in Canada. It is a crucial document for those planning to pursue academic programs exceeding six months.

Who needs a study permit to study in Canada?

The following people need to have a study permit for Canada:

Foreign nationals enrolling in academic, professional, vocational, or training programs at Canadian colleges and universities.
Individuals studying for more than six months or if the program is shorter than six months and they are required to work in Canada as part of their program of study.
Individuals studying at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI), an educational institution that is designated to host international students.

Exceptions to the study permit requirement include those taking an English or French short-term course for less than six months, a short-term course of general interest or self-improvement, a distance learning program, or an audited course. These individuals are not required to have a study permit to enter Canada. However, depending on their country of origin, they may still require a travel visa to enter Canada.

What are the requirements for applying for a Canadian study permit?

The following are required to apply for a study permit for Canada:

Letter of Acceptance (LOA): The student must have been accepted at a Designated Learning Institution (DLI) to take an academic, professional, vocational or training program of study.
Proof of funds: The student must provide proof of funds to support themselves and accompanying family members, if applicable, in Canada in the first year, including tuition fees, living expenses, and returning transportation to their home country.
Criminal records: The student should have no criminal records and provide a police certificate if from a country for which the certificate is required.
Health check: International students must be in good health and provide medical exam results if from a country for which the medical exam is required.
Proof of ties to home country: International students must prove to the immigration officer that they will leave Canada when their study permit expires.

Can I work in Canada as an international student?

Yes, in most cases, international students are allowed to work in Canada while studying.

Immigration Canada will specify on the student’s study permit whether the student can work in Canada.

In general, international students can work:

After starting their study program, on or off the school campus
As a co-op student or intern, when their study program includes work experience as part of its curriculum
After graduation, if eligible for a Post Graduate Work Permit
