Business Immigrants to
Canada
The Canadian government has prioritized attracting
international investors and entrepreneurs to immigrate to
Canada under the Business Immigrant category. Canadian immigration
procedures have become easier and faster for immigrants in
this category.
We can assist you to understand how Canadian
law can be used to fulfill your goal of coming to Canada as
an investor or entrepreneur.
Skilled Workers
The Canadian Immigration policy, which came
into effect on June 28, 2002, prioritizes skilled workers.
We would be happy to assist you to achieve your
goal of immigrating to Canada as a skilled worker and obtaining
a Canadian work visa
.
Family Class
Traditionally, Canadian immigration policies
have promoted family reunification.
Both Canadian citizens and landed immigrants
have the right to sponsor a member of their family who is
living abroad for permanent residence. The immigration sponsorship
category includes family members of the following categories:
- Spouses
or common law partners
- Dependent
children under the age of 22, or older if the child is a
student or permanently disabled;
- Orphaned
minor siblings, nephews, nieces or grandchildren
- Adopted
children
- Parents
We would be happy to assist you to sponsor a
family member to immigrate to Canada and answer any Canadian
citizenship questions you may have.
Adoptions
Both Canadian citizens and landed immigrants
have the right to adopt foreign children. Canada's immigration
laws changed on June 28, 2002.
We will be happy to assist you in arranging
for your adopted child to immigrate to Canada.
Refugees
- People in Need of Protection
Historically, Canada has been committed to
promote and to defend Human Rights. In 1951, the Canadian
government signed the United Nations Convention for Refugees.
The continued support for these principles was reinforced
on June 28, 2002 when the Canadian Immigration and Refuge
Protection Act became law.
Canada provides protection to people who are
Convention refugees. Convention refugees are people with a
well-founded fear of persecution due to their: race; religion;
nationality; political opinion; and/or membership in a particular
social group.
People who risk torture or exposure to cruel
or unusual punishment or treatment if returned to their country
may also qualify for protection. The process of applying for
this kind of protection is complicated. Professional representation
is crucial.
If you are already living in Canada and are
afraid of being deported, the new Pre-Removal Risk Assessments
(PRRA) provides you with an additional opportunity to remain
here. Other options include applications for leave, judicial
review to the Federal Court Trial Division, and judicial stay
of proceedings. We can also assist you in applying for permanent
residence on Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds from within
Canada.
Visitors - Students - Temporary Residents
- Canadian Visas
If you are planning to visit Canada as a tourist,
student, or worker, it is necessary to understand the new
Canadian immigration laws adopted on June 28, 2002.
Every country has different diplomatic relations
with Canada. As a result, it is necessary to be advised of
how your specific situation affects your Canadian visa application.
