  • Who qualifies for a Canadian Immigration Visa?

    Both federal and Provincial skilled workers have the opportunity to receive Canada Immigration Visas. Also individuals with study and/or work experience in Canada, as well as business individuals under Canada's economic immigration categories are eligible. In addition, close family members of Canadian citizens and permanent residents may obtain a Canada Immigration Visa through family sponsorship. Lastly, Canada grants permanent resident visas to eligible asylum seekers and individuals on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.

  • Who can I include in my application for a Canadian Immigration Visa?

    Applicants can include their spouse/common-law partner/conjugal partner and dependent children under 22 years old in their immigration application. If the dependent child is 22 or older, they must be a full-time student in Canada. Dependents will undergo medical exams and security clearance. Changes in family status after submitting the application may affect processing. Parents cannot be included in the application, but Canadian citizens and permanent residents may be eligible to bring parents and grandparents to Canada through Family Class sponsorship or the Super Visa program.

  • Can people with disabilities also apply for Canadian immigration?

    Sure, individuals with disabilities are also eligible to apply; however, the impact of their eligibility may vary based on the specific type of disability they have.

  • What is Express Entry?

    Express Entry is a system that facilitates the selection and processing of Canada's economic immigration programs. It is not an immigration program itself. The economic programs included are the Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class, Canadian Experience Class, and certain Provincial Nominee Programs. Applicants express their interest in immigrating to Canada and, if eligible for at least one of these programs, enter the Express Entry pool. From there, the federal government, provincial governments, and Canadian employers can choose candidates from the pool to receive an Invitation To Apply (ITA) for immigration under one of these programs.

  • What are the initial steps in the Canadian immigration application process?

    There are various pathways to qualify for Canadian immigration for yourself and your family. To ensure a smooth and accurate assessment of your eligibility for a Canada immigration visa, it is highly recommended to seek assistance from a qualified expert.

  • What are the benefits of becoming a Canadian permanent resident?

    Canadian permanent residents and their dependents enjoy nearly all the social benefits and privileges that Canadian citizens do, including access to Canadian healthcare. They have the freedom to reside, work, and pursue education in any Canadian province or territory. Moreover, permanent residents have the opportunity to apply for Canadian citizenship in due course.

  • Can I apply for permanent resident status and temporary status at the same time?

    Yes, you can apply for Permanent Resident status and Temporary status at the same time. Canadian Immigration policy recognizes the concept of dual intent.

  • Who can apply for Canadian citizenship?

    To initiate the application process for Canadian citizenship, candidates must meet certain criteria. First, individuals must be at least 18 years old to be eligible. Additionally, candidates need to have resided in Canada as a permanent resident for a minimum of three years (1,095 days) within the past four years before submitting their application. However, this residency requirement does not apply to children under 18. Furthermore proficiency in either English or French, the official languages of Canada, is necessary to become a Canadian citizen. Applicants must demonstrate their language skills in at least one of these languages. It is important to note that certain criminal convictions can make an individual criminally inadmissible to Canada.

  • What is refugee status in Canada?

    The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) serves as the foundational law governing immigration and refugee matters in Canada. According to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada, individuals can be granted refugee status based on the provisions of this act. Convention refugees refer to individuals who are residing outside their home country or habitual residence and are unwilling to return due to a well-founded fear of persecution based on factors such as race, religion, political opinion, nationality, or membership in a particular social group. Once a claim is accepted, an asylum-seeker transitions into a recognized refugee, attains the status of a "protected person," and becomes eligible to apply for permanent residency in Canada.

  • Who can I sponsor to immigrate to Canada?

    As a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident, you may be eligible to sponsor your spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, parents, and grandparents to immigrate to Canada. It's important to note that sponsoring someone comes with certain financial and legal responsibilities. The eligibility requirements, application processes, and program details may vary for each category.

Special Issues

  • I am here as a visitor, I have a job offer. Can I get a work permit for a simple job like a waitress?

    Visitors can’t upgrade from visitor to worker from inside Canada. Any first initial visa must be applied for from outside the country prior to arrival. For highly skilled positions in the NOC levels O, A or B and where there is a labor shortage in Canada, there are processes that a foreign national can do to get a work permit, provided they have the right education and the approval of Service Canada ESDC.

  • I have a failed application. Can I make a new application for Immigration to Canada, using your services?

    The possibility of reapplying and the success of a new application depend on the reasons for the initial decline and what went wrong. Certain applications, such as refugee claims, cannot be repeated, while others may be eligible for appeal within the specified timeframes set by Canada Immigration. If there was no misrepresentation in the first application and the original grounds for application still apply, submitting a new application can be a viable option and often leads to success.

  • I've been approved in Canada, but I am not sure if I should apply for an open work permit or wait to get landed. What should I do?

    If you have the flexibility to wait without needing to work, it is advisable to do so. On average, the completion process typically takes an additional 60 to 120 days. However, if you require a status document and have a need to work, it is recommended to obtain a work permit. The added cost of the work permit is worthwhile as it helps mitigate the risk of unforeseen delays in file transfer to the local office or other unexpected circumstances that could arise.
