FAQ — Student Visa Quebec
What is the CAQ and do I need it to study in Quebec?
The CAQ (Certificat d'acceptation du Québec) is a provincial certificate required for most international students studying in Quebec. It must be obtained before the federal study permit.
How long does it take to get a CAQ and study permit?
The CAQ takes 3 to 8 weeks. The study permit takes 4 to 12 weeks. A lawyer ensures both files are complete and submitted simultaneously to save time.
Can I work while studying in Quebec?
Yes. With a valid study permit and CAQ, you can work up to 20 hours per week on or off campus during the school session, and full-time during breaks.
Can I bring my family with my student visa?
Your spouse can apply for an open work permit. Your dependent children can study in Canada. A lawyer coordinates all family applications.
What happens after I graduate?
You can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) valid for the same duration as your study program (up to 3 years). This is an excellent stepping stone to permanent residence.
My CAQ was refused. What can I do?
A lawyer can request a revision or submit a new application addressing the reasons for refusal. The most common reasons are lack of sufficient funds or missing documents.
