How Indian Students, Founders & Professionals Are Shaping North America's Campuses, Startups and Communities

Why North America (US and Canada) still attracts the largest Indian outflow

The United States (Boston, the Bay Area, New York, Texas) and Canada (Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Calgary) together attract the largest share of Indian student, professional and founder outflow. The F-1, H-1B, L-1, O-1, EB-1A and EB-2 NIW routes for the US, and the study permit, Express Entry, Self-Employed Persons, Start-Up Visa and Provincial Nominee routes for Canada, all draw on overlapping documentation sets.

Canada accepted the Hague Apostille Convention recently. The US accepts MEA-apostilled Indian documents for legal use under the Hague Convention. MEA apostille on the degree, marksheets, transcript, marriage certificate, birth certificates and PCC is the standard. Translation rarely applies because Indian academic and civil records are usually in English. WES or similar credential evaluation may apply.

What this kind of file usually carries

• Degree certificate and marksheets
• University transcript
• Marriage certificate and birth certificates of children
• Police clearance certificate
• Indian company incorporation, MOA, AOA, GST, audited financials (for founders)
• Power of Attorney for India-side matters
• Passport with at least twenty-four months validity

Where SiZA Global fits in this preparation

We handle the India side: MEA apostille on the personal, academic and commercial documents, Chamber of Commerce attestation on the commercial documents, WES or evaluation packet preparation where the route asks for it, certified translation if any document is not in English and tracked return of originals. The US or Canadian visa, the H-1B, L-1, O-1, EB or Express Entry decision and the founder route endorsements belong to the North American side. We do not promise outcomes there.

Yes.

Is SiZA Global a government department or a private documentation support company?

SiZA Global Solutions Pvt. Ltd. is a private documentation services company registered in Noida. We are not a government department, not an embassy and not a visa or immigration consultancy.
