TITLE: Designated International Student Consultant-Advocate (DISA)
CLASS: Academic Professional
Why join as a Can-College Student Advisor-Advocate?
The Canadian Government is more focused to allow applicants for entry to Canada in the study visa stream for a successful Immigrant, as the student visa may give the edge to an applicant in getting a work permit after completion of education, in applying for permanent residence and in becoming a Canadian citizen.
So technically, having clients for the study visa or permit could potentially mean more practice and business opportunity for an authorised representative. This is only possible if an applicant’s study visa application is approved and he/she enters Canada for study.
At Can-College we are not just interested in selling a LOA “Letter of Acceptance” for a study visa or permit; our goal is to deliver quality education for a successful career for an international student, which could be directly connected with an opportunity to seek an appropriate immigration status (i.e., work permit) after completion of education, applying for permanent residence and becoming a Canadian citizen.
With over 30 years of experience in Immigration practice, the Can-College administration handling student counseling and advising management team will be focussing on training its DISAs (Designated International Student Consultants-Advocate) in such a way that the licensed advisor will benefit the most. A Can-College DISA will be trained not just to handle a simple study visa or permit application, but to deal with the most complex cases as well, within the same category and issues, which would otherwise hinder client from achieving further goals.
Can-College have allocated a massive $$$budget to advertise on social media and on the web to generate solid leads which will be directed to DISAs for their part of work without any obligation. This will generate huge client leads for DISAs.
Can-College will maintain a network of authorized international student advocates who play an important role in aiding prospective students through their application process, while representing the College programs and procedures in a professional and trustworthy manner at all times.
The Can-College Network will have two types of DISA programs; one is paid and the other is free.
The paid program will provide all the above training via in-person as well as online courses, along with the following additional benefits, all covered in one yearly subscription fee. We believe that a smart DISA can recover this subscription fee within first 30–60 days.
