Business/Entrepreneur Class The Entrepreneur Program and Self-Employed

Program seek to attract experienced business people

who will own and actively manage businesses in

Canada that contribute to the economy and create

jobs. We can help you determine whether your

proposed business would meet the requirements for

processing under either category.

Family Sponsorship One of the key objectives for Citizenship and

Immigration Canada is to reunite members of a

family. Canadian citizens and permanent residents

have the opportunity to sponsor their family members

if they meet the eligibility requirements. For an eligible

person to sponsor their family they must be a

member of the family class as defined in The

Immigration and Refugee Protection Act.

We will work with you to determine whether or not you

and your family meet the necessary requirements

under the Family Class for sponsorship.

Canada Experience Class If you are a temporary foreign worker or a foreign

student who graduated from a Canadian

university or college, you often have the qualities

to make a successful transition from temporary to

permanent residence.

Under the Canadian Experience Class, foreign

workers and students who completed their studies

in Canada may qualify for permanent resident

status. We can work with you early on to ensure

that you know the requirements to qualify under

this category and that your application is complete

when submitted, minimizing any delays in

processing.

Skilled Worker You may qualify for permanent resident status as a

skilled worker if you possess the requisite skilled

work experience and have sufficient points under

the Federal Skilled Worker category. Applicants

are awarded points under this category based on

factors such as:

• Education;

• Work experience;

• Language proficiency in English and/or French; &

• Ability to become economically established in

Canada.

We will work with you to explore all options and

determine whether applying for permanent resident

status as a Federal Skilled Worker is right for you.

Foreign Temporary Worker In today’s global economy, both national and international companies need to be able to

relocate employees wherever their skills are in demand. Whether you are a Canadian

business wanting to obtain the skilled services of foreign nationals, or a US-based or

other multinational seeking to place employees in your Canadian operation, we can

help you navigate the requirements of Canadian immigration.

Some temporary workers require a work permit and some do not. Processing times

often depend on the type of work you will do when you come to Canada, as well as

when and where your application is submitted.

Employers may require approval from Human Resources and Skills Development

Canada prior to a foreign worker applying for a work permit. We will work with both the

employer and foreign worker to ensure that all the necessary steps are taken to ensure

the foreign worker’s work permit application is complete and meets the mandatory

processing requirements. We will also help the foreign workers dependents obtain work

and study permits.

Work Permits

We are experienced in handling all types of Work

Permit applications. Whether you are currently in

Canada on a student visa and want to work while

studying or have arranged employment, we can

help.

If you want to study in Canada, depending on the

length of your program, you will likely require a

Study Permit to do so. You are required not only

to provide a letter of acceptance from a Canadian

Institution, but also demonstrate your ability to

financially support yourself during your studies.

You may also be required to obtain a temporary

resident visa in addition to your Study Permit and

undergo a medical examination prior to entry. If

you have been accepted to complete studies at a

Canadian academic institution, contact us to

discuss applying for your Study Permit.

Study Permit

Unless you are from a country that is exempt, you

likely require a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) to

enable you to visit Canada. If you are from a

country that requires a TRV, we can assist you in

applying for either a single entry or a multiple

entry TRV, depending on your needs.

Temporary Resident Visa

Whether you are a permanent resident who has

never obtained a Permanent Resident card (PR

Card) or your PR Card has or is about to expire,

we can assist you in applying for a new card. If

you have imminent travel plans and immediately

require your PR Card, we can assist you in

applying for your card on an expedited basis.

Permanent Resident Cards

To become a Canadian citizen, you must satisfy

the following requirements:

• Age;

• Permanent resident status;

• Time lived in Canada;

• No criminal history; and

• Knowledge of Canada.

We will help you determine whether you satisfy

the requirements for applying for Canadian

citizenship and assist you with the application

process.
