Our Services

We know that an immigration matter can have important consequences.

Work Permits

If you´re a foreign national seeking temporary Canadian employment or self-employment, you will generally require a work permit issued for a specific job and time period. We can ensure that your work permit application is speedily processed by Canadian authorities, and advise you how to correctly complete all forms. Under different provincial nominee programs, it may now be faster to get landed and receiving permanent residency by going through the provincial governments than by going through the Federal Government.

Sponsorship
To ensure that your sponsorship application is successful, we will provide comprehensive advice on the full range of factors affecting the sponsorship process. If you´re seeking permanent residence in Canada and have a family member or a close relative over 18 who is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you may be eligible for sponsorship.

Appeals to Canada´s Federal Court
Have you received a negative decision on such immigration matters as a refugee claim, sponsorship, removal order or residency obligation? We can appeal decisions on a variety of immigration matters to Canada´s Federal Court by contesting the decision´s errors in law and fact.

Investors, entrepreneurs and self employed persons

The Business Immigration Program seeks to attract experienced business people to Canada who will support the development of a strong and prosperous Canadian economy. Business immigrants are expected to make a C$400,000 investment or to own and manage businesses in Canada. Canada has three classes of business immigrants:

  • investors
  • entrepreneurs and
  • self-employed persons.

We can assist you from beginning to end.

Immigration and Detention Reviews
If arrested and detained for 48 hours without being released, you must by law be brought before an adjudicator who will review your detention´s grounds. We will defend your rights in these cases, work to secure your release as fast as possible and advise you on the best course of action.

Immigration Appeal Division(IAD)
We can appeal removal orders and refused sponsorship applications to the IAD. If your rights have been violated, the IRB erred, or special humanitarian and compassionate considerations are warranted, then we have good grounds for an appeal. If the IAD dismisses your appeal, we can then seek the Federal Court´s intervention.

Refugee Claims
We have successfully represented refugee claimants from over 40-nations. Our lawyers will anticipate your claim´s decisive issues, head off credibility problems before they emerge and thoroughly prepare you for your hearing. Then they will actively defend you at the hearing against legal challenges issued by the Immigration and Refugee Board.

We will also manage your claim through the entire refugee hearing process. This includes helping you prepare a detailed, comprehensive narrative vital to your success and ensuring your Personal Information Form is professionally completed.

Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Exemptions
Are you a foreign national wanting to permanently reside in Canada? Do you face unusual hardships caused by circumstances beyond your control? We may be able to prove you qualify for permanent residency on humanitarian and compassionate grounds by assessing your situation and experience in Canada.

Removal Orders
If you have received a deportation, departure or exclusion order, we will pursue every available legal avenue to prevent your removal. Be aware that if your temporary resident permit has expired, you have been convicted of a criminal offence, or you have violated immigration regulations, you may be subject to removal.

Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRAA)
If your refugee claim has been refused or abandoned, we can present persuasive new evidence to prevent your deportation before it´s too late. If you fear deportation to your homeland, we will fight to prevent your removal orders and secure you protected status.
