Confirm the relationship with the Canadian institution
EduCanada advises students to contact their chosen school to check whether an education agent is authorized. The Government of Canada does not qualify, accredit, guarantee or endorse education agents. A provider’s Canadian destination page therefore supports a service listing, rather than a government approval claim.
Compare the actual qualification, campus and programme length. Ask how the adviser selected the institutions and whether an alternative application route is available. Check programme and institution information through the responsible official sources before acting on a broad promise about future work or immigration.
Ask who provides admissions and immigration services
An education-service agreement should identify the work covered, any student charges, payments to the institution and the conditions for cancellation. If immigration advice or representation is offered, establish who supplies it and check the applicable official authorization requirements separately.
- Will the school confirm this agent’s appointment for my application?
- Which fees are for counselling, applications or other services, and which are paid directly to the school?
- Who controls the accounts and who is responsible for each submitted document?
Common questions
Does the Canadian government endorse these education agents?
No. EduCanada states that the Government of Canada does not qualify, accredit, guarantee or endorse education agents. These listings are based on official provider coverage pages.
Does a Canada listing establish immigration representative authorization?
No. Education service coverage and immigration representative authorization are different matters. Check the person providing any immigration advice through the relevant official guidance.
Can one college fee be treated as the whole cost of Canadian study?
No. Check the exact programme, fee period, compulsory charges and living budget. The destination and cost guides linked below explain the comparison limits.
