What is a Sponsorship Visa?
A sponsorship visa is an immigration document that allows an individual to work and study in Canada. A sponsorship visa is needed if you want to work (to teach, be a tour guide, etc.) or study (to work as a freakin’ human resource, manager, etc.) in Canada. The application process for a sponsorship visa is pretty straightforward. You need to first check if you are allowed to work in Canada under the Migrant Visa Program . If you are eligible to work in Canada, then the rest will be easy. The application is validated and then you are sent to a processing center where you pay a fee and wait for your visa to come through. Fees for a sponsorship visa range from $500 for individuals to $4,500 for companies. The fee for each sponsorship visa is based on your location of employment, your location of study, and your location of “undisclosed employment”.
Types of Sponsorship Visa
There are several types of sponsorship visa. The most common type is the long-term visitor (LTV) visa. This visa is open to people who want to spend one year (and sometimes two years) as an employee of a company that is already in Canada. The employee must be at least 21 years of age, must hold at least a general job title (W-2), and must work full-time (19 hours or more per week) for the employer. The short-term visitor (STV) visa is also called a short-term visitor permission (SVP) visa. The purpose of the short-term visitor permission is to allow visitors (including businesspeople) to spend one month as an employee of a company that is already in Canada. The company must pay the required fee for the month of visit and then allow the employee to return to Canada with no explanation or returns being recorded.
