Permanent Residency (PR)
Becoming a Permanent Resident (PR) of Canada is a life-changing achievement, providing you with the right to live, work, and access healthcare and social services in Canada. There are several pathways to permanent residency, including:
- Express Entry: A points-based system that manages applications for skilled workers under the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC).
- Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP): If you have skills and experience that match the needs of a particular Canadian province or territory, you may qualify for nomination through a PNP.
- Family Class Immigration: Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor eligible family members to join them in Canada.
We help applicants determine their eligibility, gather necessary documentation, and complete their applications accurately to maximize their chances of approval.
Family Sponsorship
If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you can sponsor certain family members to immigrate to Canada. Family Sponsorship is available for:
- Spouses, common-law partners, or conjugal partners
- Dependent children
- Parents and grandparents
Our lawyers assist in preparing sponsorship applications and ensuring all eligibility requirements are met, helping to reunite families as quickly as possible. We’ll guide you through the entire process, from gathering the necessary paperwork to communicating with immigration authorities on your behalf.
Work Permits
Canada offers numerous opportunities for foreign nationals to work in various industries. Whether you’ve been offered a job by a Canadian employer or are seeking a specific work program, we can help you navigate the application process for a Work Permit.
There are two main types of work permits:
- Employer-specific work permits: These are tied to a specific job and employer. You’ll need a job offer and a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) in most cases.
- Open work permits: These allow you to work for any employer in Canada without needing a job offer or LMIA. They are often issued to spouses of foreign workers or students.
We’ll ensure that your application is complete and properly submitted, giving you the best chance of securing a work permit that aligns with your goals.
Student Visas
Canada is home to some of the world’s top educational institutions, making it a popular destination for international students. If you’re planning to study in Canada, you’ll need a study permit, which allows you to attend a designated learning institution (DLI).
Our team assists with:
- Completing and submitting study permit applications
- Addressing any concerns from immigration authorities
- Advising on work opportunities for students (part-time work permits and Post-Graduation Work Permits)
We’ll help you stay compliant with immigration regulations so you can focus on your studies and enjoy your time in Canada.
Citizenship Applications
Are you ready to take the final step in your immigration journey and become a Canadian citizen? Applying for Canadian citizenship can be a complex process, and our lawyers are here to help you with every step.
To be eligible for citizenship, you must meet specific requirements, including:
- Permanent residency status
- Physical presence in Canada for a certain number of years
- Passing the Canadian citizenship test
- Demonstrating proficiency in English or French
We’ll ensure that your application is complete and meets all eligibility criteria, making the process as seamless as possible.
Refugee and Asylum Claims
If you’re fleeing persecution, war, or violence in your home country, you may be eligible for refugee status in Canada. Our lawyers provide compassionate and knowledgeable assistance with refugee claims, including representing you at hearings and helping you navigate Canada’s refugee protection system.
We understand the urgency and sensitivity of these cases, and we’re here to offer you strong legal representation to protect your rights and provide you with the best chance of success.
Temporary Resident Permits (TRP)
Sometimes, individuals may not meet the requirements for a standard visa or entry into Canada due to past criminal convictions or medical issues. In these cases, a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) may allow you to enter or stay in Canada temporarily.
We’ll help you apply for a TRP by demonstrating to immigration authorities why your entry into Canada is justified, ensuring that your case is presented clearly and effectively.
Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP)
The Express Entry system is the fastest route to Canadian permanent residency for skilled workers. We assist applicants with the Express Entry process, including creating an online profile, improving their Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, and navigating the Invitation to Apply (ITA) process.
In addition, we help clients apply through Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP), which allow Canadian provinces and territories to nominate individuals who meet their labor market needs. Each province has its own PNP, with specific eligibility requirements. Our legal team will ensure that your application meets the criteria and that your case is presented clearly to immigration officials.
