FAQ
Why do you charge a consultation fee?
It is common for our lawyers to conduct around 8 consultations per day. Our Founder has kept up this pace for several decades. It’s a safe bet that we’ve seen your particular situation before countless times. Based on our reputation for honesty, excellence and leadership, it is simply not possible to offer free consultations. To be fair to everyone who has paid before, whether a large corporation or international student on a budget, and given the high demand, we must charge a fee.
What are the language proficiency requirements for Canadian immigration, and which language tests are accepted?
English and French are the official languages of Canada. Language proficiency is assessed through tests like IELTS or CELPIP (English) and TEF (French). The required scores vary based on the immigration stream.
Can I include my spouse and children in my immigration application, and what are the family reunification processes?
Yes, you can include your spouse and dependent children in your immigration application. The family reunification process involves providing proof of relationship and ensuring they meet health and security requirements.
How can I calculate my Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, and what factors are considered in the Express Entry system?
You can calculate your CRS score using online tools provided by immigration authorities. Factors considered include age, education, work experience, language proficiency, and additional points for factors like a job offer or provincial nomination.
Are there specific job categories or professions that are in high demand in Canada for immigration purposes?
The demand for specific jobs varies by province and territory. The National Occupational Classification (NOC) system categorizes occupations, and certain skill sets may be in high demand in specific regions.
Can I apply for permanent residency in Canada if I have completed my studies there?
Yes, you can apply for permanent residency through programs like the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) or the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) after completing your studies in Canada.
What are the key steps and requirements for obtaining a Canadian Permanent Resident Card?
To obtain a Permanent Resident Card, you must meet residency requirements, submit a complete application, and provide supporting documents. The card is proof of your status as a permanent resident.
How does the Express Entry system work, and what are the key factors that contribute to a successful application?
Express Entry is a points-based system that ranks candidates based on factors like age, education, language proficiency, and work experience. A successful application involves maximizing your CRS score and meeting eligibility requirements for specific immigration streams.
How can I participate in the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) for immigration purposes?
To qualify for CEC, you need at least one year of skilled work experience in Canada and must meet language proficiency requirements. The Express Entry system is used for CEC applications.
What are the minimum settlement funds required for different immigration streams, and how are they calculated?
Minimum settlement funds vary based on family size and immigration stream. These funds are meant to cover living expenses upon arrival in Canada. Consult official guidelines to determine the specific amount required.
Can I switch from a study visa to a work permit in Canada, and what are the procedures involved?
Yes, you can apply for a work permit after completing your studies in Canada through programs like the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP). Ensure you meet eligibility criteria and apply within the designated timeframe.
What are the regional differences in the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), and how do they impact the immigration process?
Each province or territory has its own PNP with specific eligibility criteria and priorities. Regional differences impact the types of candidates selected, and it’s essential to understand the requirements of the specific province or territory.
What cities in Canada are considered the best for immigrants, and what factors should I consider when choosing a place to settle?
Cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal are popular among immigrants. Factors to consider include job opportunities, cost of living, cultural diversity, and community support services.
Are there any special programs or initiatives for entrepreneurs or investors looking to immigrate to Canada?
Yes, Canada offers programs like the Start-Up Visa Program for entrepreneurs and the Immigrant Investor Program for investors. These programs have specific criteria, including business experience and investment requirements.
My case seems straight-forward. Do I really have to worry?
Unfortunately, we have seen many meritorious cases refused as a result of self-representation or under-representation (by an inexperienced or negligent previous representative). For instance, genuine marriages have been refused due to minor inconsistencies during a visa interview and even where the couple has had children, they have been refused on appeal. Post-graduate open work permits have been refused for minor payment or upload errors with no mercy whatsoever by the Department. Entire Permanent Resident applications have been returned or refused due to minor deficiencies in employer letters of support (sometimes relating to job duties that have been copied word-for-word from the government website description of all jobs in Canada or where the duties stray too far from the government description’s bullet points).
For corporate immigration, we have seen refusals at ports of entry into Canada which we know based on our experience should be avoided at all costs due to a pattern of refusals of genuine cases.
In our experience, when immigration officers err and refuse improperly, it is important to have a very strong application upon which to ask for reconsideration or appeal.
I have an urgent matter, can your firm help quickly? Can I get an urgent consultation?
We reserve timeslots which are not initially offered or viewable by the public for truly urgent matters. Also, even if you have an upcoming ‘deadline,’ we can often ask for an extension of time – whether for litigation or to respond with respect to your application in process.
I’ve been refused and the officer noted what was wrong. Does this mean that if I fix this one problem I’ll be ok on my own?
No. Sadly, we have seen many instances where people have received a returned application with a check mark indicating a deficiency and assumed they could fix that one problem and be totally fine. We’ve also seen refusals where only one issue is mentioned. In both cases, please understand that the officer has simply identified the FIRST problem with your application. There could be several more! They are under no obligation to ‘teach’ you how to file a proper application by identifying all the errors. Simply put, officers are not schoolteachers, and they are not paid to fully grade your application.
How can I apply for a study visa in Canada, and what are the eligibility criteria?
To apply for a study visa in Canada, you must first be accepted into a designated learning institution (DLI). Additionally, you need to prove your financial ability to cover tuition, living expenses, and return transportation. Meeting health and security requirements is also crucial.
Are there specific requirements for immigrating to Canada through the Provincial Nominee Program with my family?
Yes, you can include your family in your PNP application. However, each province may have specific requirements for accompanying family members, such as proof of relationship and additional documentation.
What is the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) Calculator, and how does it determine my Express Entry score for immigration?
The CRS Calculator is a tool used to assess your eligibility for Express Entry. It assigns points based on factors like age, education, language proficiency, work experience, and more. A higher CRS score increases your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for permanent residence.
Can I work while studying in Canada on a student visa, and what are the restrictions?
Yes, as a student in Canada, you can work part-time (20 hours per week) during regular academic sessions and full-time during scheduled breaks. However, certain restrictions apply, and it’s essential to be aware of and adhere to them.
What are the different ways to prove my financial ability to support myself and my family in Canada during the immigration process?
Proof of financial support may include bank statements, employment letters, or a letter of financial support from a sponsor. The required funds vary depending on the immigration stream and family size.
How do I apply for a work permit in Canada, and what are the key requirements for eligibility?
Applying for a work permit involves submitting a complete application, proving a job offer, and satisfying eligibility criteria. Key requirements include a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) or an LMIA exemption, depending on the job offer.
What is the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), and how can I apply through this immigration pathway?
PNP is a program through which provinces nominate individuals for permanent residence based on their ability to contribute to the local economy. To apply, you need to be nominated by a province or territory and then apply through the Express Entry system.
Provincial Program Frequently Asked Questions
Applicants typically need to meet specific criteria set by the province, which may include having a certain net worth, relevant work experience, and a business plan aligned with the province’s economic priorities.
The application process varies by province but generally involves submitting a detailed business plan, financial documents, and supporting evidence of meeting program requirements. Consult the province’s immigration website for specific instructions.
Some provincial programs may require applicants to create jobs for Canadian citizens or permanent residents as part of their business operations. The number of jobs required and the timeframe for creating them vary by program.
In some cases, applicants may be required to demonstrate that their spouse is employed or has the potential for employment to support the family’s financial stability while they establish their business in the province. This requirement aims to ensure the applicant’s ability to settle and contribute to the local economy.
