Study-Work in Canada: Are you going to study or work in Canada? Are you visiting Canada for the first time? If you fall into either of these categories, there are a few things you need to consider. As a foreign student or worker, it's important to understand the rules for entering Canada. It's crucial to understand the documents you need, the mistakes you should avoid, and the kinds of things you'll encounter at the airport.

Many people receive visas for work or study in Canada, but this is their first time traveling to this country, making them unsure about the necessary documents. After landing at the airport, if you present incorrect documents at immigration, you could be denied entry. That's why today we'll explain what documents a student-worker should have when entering Canada.

What documents are required for entry into Canada?
Upon landing at the airport, certain documents must be presented to the immigration officer, which are the same for both foreign students and workers. The list of documents is provided below.

Proof of sufficient funds to cover living expenses in Canada is required. Student-workers can prove this through bank statements, etc.

They must have a valid passport.
Students and workers must have a visa from the Canadian Embassy.
They must also have a Port of Entry Letter.
In addition, students arriving on a study permit must have an acceptance letter from their university and a valid immigration medical result. Similarly, workers arriving on a work permit must have documents that meet the job requirements. This includes work experience and education certificates. Workers must also have an LMIA certificate from their employer. A certificate showing their employment number may also be required.

You will have to appear for an interview at the airport.
After landing at the airport in Canada, you will be interviewed by a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer. The interview takes place at the port of entry. Immediately after disembarking, you will be directed to Immigration and Customs. Here, the CBSA officer will review your documents, ask you questions, and verify that you meet the requirements for entry into Canada. If the officer is satisfied with your answers, they will issue you a study or work permit, which will grant you entry.
