Permanent Residency in Canada

Becoming a Permanent Resident (PR) of Canada allows you to live and work in the country indefinitely, access social benefits, and eventually apply for Canadian citizenship.

Family & Spousal Sponsorships

If you are a Canadian citizen or PR, you can sponsor:
✔ Your spouse, common-law, or conjugal partner
✔ Your children
✔ Your parents or grandparents

Sponsorship requires proof of financial stability and a commitment to supporting your family member’s needs in Canada. Our legal team ensures your sponsorship application meets all requirements to avoid delays or denials.

Express Entry Program

Canada’s Express Entry system is one of the most popular ways for skilled workers to obtain permanent residency. It includes:
🔹 Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) – For professionals with work experience, education, and language proficiency.
🔹 Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP) – For skilled tradespeople with job offers or certification in Canada.
🔹 Canadian Experience Class (CEC) – For those with prior work experience in Canada.

Express Entry applications are ranked using a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS), and high-scoring applicants receive Invitations to Apply (ITA) for PR.

Our immigration lawyers help maximize your CRS score and guide you through the Express Entry process to increase your chances of success.

Work & Study Permits

Work Permits & Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP)

If you have a job offer from a Canadian employer, you may be eligible for a work permit. Employers may also need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) to prove that hiring a foreign worker will not negatively affect Canadian workers.

We assist both employers and employees with LMIA applications and work permit approvals under the Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP) and Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP).

Study Permits

International students can apply for a study permit to attend Canadian universities and colleges. Studying in Canada can lead to PR eligibility under programs like the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) and Canadian Experience Class (CEC).

Our legal team helps students understand their study permit options and plan for future immigration pathways.

Visas & Temporary Resident Permits

Visitors, business travellers, and temporary residents require specific visas or permits to enter Canada. We assist with:
✔ Visitor Visas – For short-term visits, tourism, or family visits
✔ Super Visas – For parents and grandparents to visit their children in Canada for up to two years at a time
✔ Business Visas – For individuals attending business meetings, conferences, or short-term projects
✔ Temporary Resident Permits (TRPs) – For those who do not meet regular entry requirements but need special permission to enter Canada

Our team ensures your visa application is properly prepared to avoid unnecessary rejections.

Asylum & Refugee Claims

If you fear persecution in your home country, you may be eligible to apply for refugee status or asylum in Canada. Our lawyers provide compassionate and dedicated representation for asylum seekers, helping them present a strong case before Canadian immigration authorities.

Refugee claims require extensive documentation and proof of risk. We assist in preparing claims, gathering evidence, and representing clients in Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) hearings.
