Temporary Residence in Canada—Visas, Study & Work Permits

Temporary residence in Canada allows foreign nationals to visit, study, or work in the country for a limited period. Whether you are applying for a visitor visa, study permit, or work permit, each application requires proper documentation and careful preparation. At Altezza Immigration and Refugee Services, we provide professional guidance to help individuals and families apply for temporary residence in Canada with confidence. Our goal is to make the process clear, accurate, and stress-free.

Visitor Visa

A visitor visa allows you to travel to Canada for tourism, family visits, or short-term stays.

We help you:

  • Prepare a complete and strong application
  • Demonstrate ties to your home country
  • Address previous refusals, if applicable

Study Permit

A study permit is required for international students who wish to study at a designated learning institution in Canada.

Our services include:

  • Applying for Offer letter and PAL
  • Reviewing your Letter of Acceptance (LOA)
  • Preparing a strong Statement of Purpose (SOP)
  • Ensuring proper financial documentation
  • Identifying and addressing potential concerns

Work Permit

A work permit allows foreign nationals to work legally in Canada for a specific period.

We assist with:

  • Employer-specific work permits
  • LMIA-based and LMIA-exempt applications
  • Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)
  • Spousal Open Work Permit
  • International Experience Class
  • Refugee Claimant/Temporary Resident Permit Holders
  • Work permit extensions

Spousal Open Work Permits (SOWP)

Spouses or common-law partners of eligible workers or students may qualify for an open work permit.

The rules for spouses changed significantly in 2026. We help you navigate the new restrictions to determine if you qualify based on the primary applicant’s program:

  • Assessing eligibility for spouses of master’s (16+ months) and PhD students.

  • Securing permits for spouses of skilled workers in TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3 occupations.

  • Explaining the new limitations for spouses of undergraduate and college students.

Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP)

The post-graduation work permit (PGWP) allows students who have graduated from eligible designated learning institutions (DLIs) to gain valuable Canadian work experience. A degree no longer guarantees a work permit.

We ensure your path to PR is protected by:

  • verifying your Field of Study against the 2026 eligible CIP codes (Healthcare, STEM, Trades, etc.).

  • Assisting with the mandatory Language Proficiency (CLB) requirements now required for all PGWP applicants.

  • Strategic planning for Master’s graduates to secure the 3-year permit regardless of program length.

Civil litigation is a term that applies to any legal dispute where two or more parties are seeking monetary damages or a specific performance and does not include criminal accusations. Some cases go to trial in which a judge will determine the outcome, but not all will.
 

The most common kinds of civil litigation involve contract disputes (ie alimony, injury, debt), class action lawsuits (ie discrimination), property disputes and complaints filed against a government body.

How Long Do I Have to File My Lawsuit? No one-size-fits-all answer exists. Every state has time limits, called statutes of limitations, for filing lawsuits.
 
 
About 80 percent of cases filed in superior courts are resolved before they get to a trial. In civil cases, both sides of a case often agree to settle their disagreement and reach a compromise to avoid the expense of a trial or the risk of losing at a trial.
 
Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) refers to any means of settling disputes outside of the courtroom. ADR typically includes early neutral evaluation.
 
 
Arbitration is a procedure in which a dispute is submitted, by agreement of the parties, to one or more arbitrators who make a binding decision on the dispute. In choosing arbitration, the parties opt for a private dispute resolution procedure instead of going to court.
