Whether you're an NRI in Canada needing a study permit extension, planning to bring your spouse or parents over, or a family in India trying to sort out visa matters for a relative already abroad — we coordinate the whole process from our Chandigarh office.
NRI cases usually involve people in two countries at once. We work with whoever is easiest to reach — you abroad, your family in India, or both — so nothing falls through the cracks.
Study permit expiring, want to change institutions, or ready to apply for your post-graduation work permit. We handle Canada onshore applications entirely remotely.
See onshore services →Sponsoring a spouse for an open work permit, or bringing your parents over on a Super Visa for an extended stay.
See family sponsorship →Parents or siblings in Chandigarh, Punjab or elsewhere can walk into our office, hand over documents, and represent your case locally while you focus on work or study abroad.
Contact us →A large share of our NRI clients are students or graduates already living in Canada who need their status handled without flying home. We manage the full range of onshore applications remotely — you send us scanned documents, we prepare and file everything, and you get updates by WhatsApp.
This is different from a fresh study permit application from India — onshore work is about extending, changing, or upgrading a status you already hold. Timing matters far more here, since gaps in status can affect your work rights and future PR eligibility.
Renewing your study permit if your program runs longer than your current permit allows, or if you're changing programs.
Switching to a different Designated Learning Institution while remaining in Canada, without needing a fresh visa from India.
Applying for your PGWP after finishing your program — timing this correctly is critical, as eligibility windows are strict.
Spousal open work permits, and co-op work permits tied to your academic program's work placement component.
We recommend starting your extension application at least 30 days before your current permit expires. Under implied status, you can generally continue studying while your extension is processed — but starting early avoids unnecessary risk.
If you're changing your Designated Learning Institution, IRCC must be notified and in some cases a new study permit condition applies. We check whether your existing permit already allows the switch or whether a fresh application is needed.
You must apply for your Post-Graduation Work Permit within 180 days of receiving your final marks or official confirmation of program completion — whichever comes first. Missing this window can mean losing eligibility entirely.
If you're a full-time student at a qualifying institution, your spouse may be eligible for an open work permit allowing them to work for any employer in Canada while you study.
Once you're established abroad, bringing family over is often the next step. We handle both of the most common routes for our NRI clients.
If you hold a qualifying study or work permit, your spouse may be eligible to join you — often with their own right to work. Requirements vary by country and by your specific visa category.
See spouse visa details →If you're a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, your parents or grandparents can visit for up to 5 years per entry — far longer than a standard visitor visa allows.
See Super Visa details →Most NRI cases involve documents and signatures from both the applicant abroad and family in India. Here's how we keep it simple.
One of our team is assigned to your case from start to finish — you're not passed between different people at each stage.
We collect documents from you abroad, your family in Chandigarh, or both — by email, WhatsApp, or in-person drop-off at our office.
Onshore applications are time-sensitive. We track your permit expiry or eligibility windows and file with margin to spare.
We update you directly if you're abroad, or your family in India if that's easier — your choice.
No. Study permit extensions, DLI changes, PGWP applications, and open work permits are all filed from within Canada. We handle the preparation and filing remotely — you never need to travel back to India for these.
Yes. Many of our NRI clients have a parent or sibling visit our office in person to drop off documents or discuss the case, while we communicate directly with the applicant abroad for signatures and specific details. We coordinate both sides.
You must apply within 180 days of receiving your final transcript or official confirmation of program completion, whichever comes first. We recommend applying as soon as you have your confirmation — waiting increases the risk of missing the window entirely.
In most cases, yes — under implied status, you can continue studying under the conditions of your expired permit while IRCC processes your extension, provided you applied before it expired. We confirm your specific situation before advising you to rely on this.
Our onshore services are strongest for Canada, where we handle the highest volume of cases. For NRIs in Australia, the UK, USA, or New Zealand needing family sponsorship or status advice, contact us directly and we'll advise honestly on what we can help with.
Whether you're abroad, your family is in India, or both — we'll figure out the fastest way to move your case forward.
No charge for the initial assessment.
