Student Visa

  • Language test (IELTS/CELPIP or PTE Core; French: TEF/TCF)
  • Educational Credential Assessment (ECA)
  • Work reference letters proving duties/tenure
  • Police certificates & medical exams
  • Proof of funds (where required)

Education segmentation (CRS strategy)

  • Two or more credentials (incl. one 3+ years) often beats a lone bachelor.
  • Master’s/PhD gives higher core CRS and better PNP targeting.
  • Canadian study + French + spouse factors can lift your rank.
  • Correct NOC/TEER mapping of your role + education improves eligibility and points.

NOC → TEER (Skill Levels)
