Immigration Law
Citizenship
Before applying for Canadian citizenship, a permanent resident must reside in Canada for three years out of five. The candidate must also meet other criteria such as the ability to speak French or English, knowledge about Canada, have completed his or her tax returns, etc.
Asylum application
Canada offers asylum to people who fear persecution if they return to their home country. These individuals have a well-founded fear of persecution, whether based on race, religion, political opinion, nationality or membership in a particular social group (such as someone with a different sexual orientation). Asylum is also available to individuals who are unable to return to their country because of fear for their life or a risk of torture or cruel treatment.
Sponsorship
Canada encourages family reunification, hence the family class.
You are likely to qualify under this category if you are the spouse, parent, grandparent or child (adopted or not) of a permanent resident or citizen of Canada.
Great visa for parents and grandparents
To facilitate family reunification, Immigration Canada has launched a long-term temporary resident visa for people wishing to visit their Canadian citizen or permanent resident child or grandchild.
This super visa, with single or multiple entries, allows visitors to stay for up to two years on their first visit, renewable for up to 10 years.
Tourist visa
Citizens of certain countries designated by Canada must obtain a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) before coming to Canada. These applications must be submitted to Canadian embassies abroad. We can help you so that your probabilities of obtaining the visa are much higher.
