Expert Canadian Individual Immigration Services

Visa and immigration applications made simple

Canadian immigration programmes, permits and points systems can be confusing. Whether you are coming to Canada to work, study or join your family, or you are ready for permanent residence or citizenship, we help you choose the right route, prepare a strong application and stay on track, working with licensed Canadian immigration representatives.

01

Support with employer-specific work permits (including LMIA-based and intra-company transfer permits), open work permits for eligible spouses and graduates, and the documents your employer needs. We check your eligibility and help you and your employer prepare a complete application.

02

Sponsorship of spouses, common-law and conjugal partners and dependent children by Canadian citizens and permanent residents, and the Parents and Grandparents Program when it opens for applications. We explain the relationship and financial evidence needed and help you build a strong application.

03

Study permits for colleges and universities, including the provincial attestation letter most applicants now need under Canada’s study permit cap, renewals, and the Post-Graduation Work Permit after you finish. We check your letter of acceptance, finances and documents, and explain your work rights: up to 24 hours a week off campus during term, and full time in scheduled breaks.

04

Applications for permanent residence through Express Entry (Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class and Federal Skilled Trades) and Provincial Nominee Programs, and for Canadian citizenship. We review your eligibility, scores, physical presence and documents, and keep you up to date as the rules change.

05

Visitor visas for tourism, business visits and family visits, electronic travel authorisations (eTAs) for visa-exempt travellers, and the Super Visa for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents. We help you show your ties to home, travel plans and finances so you get it right first time.

Frequently Asked Question

It depends on your nationality, the purpose of your stay (work, study, family or business), your age, education, language skills and work experience. Many permanent residence programmes use points, so we review your profile and suggest the routes that fit.

It varies by programme, country of application and demand. IRCC publishes current processing times on its website, and we advise you on realistic timelines when we plan your application.

In some cases. For example, international students can apply for a Post-Graduation Work Permit after completing an eligible programme, and workers with Canadian experience may qualify for permanent residence through the Canadian Experience Class. Other changes need a new application. We check the rules for your situation.

Usually a valid passport, evidence of the purpose of your stay (such as a job offer, letter of acceptance or proof of relationship), proof of funds, and often language test results, educational credential assessments, police certificates, a medical exam and biometrics. We give you a tailored checklist.

Yes. We review the refusal reasons and advise whether to reapply with a stronger application, request reconsideration, or seek judicial review at the Federal Court. Some refusals, such as family sponsorship refusals, can be appealed to the Immigration Appeal Division.

Most economic immigration programmes require an approved English or French language test, and higher scores earn more points in Express Entry. Citizenship applicants aged 18 to 54 must also show basic English or French. We explain what applies to you.

Costs depend on your route: application and processing fees, the right of permanent residence fee, biometrics, language tests, medical exams and credential assessments, and proof of funds for some programmes. Once you have permanent residence you can usually join your province’s public health insurance plan. We give you a full breakdown for your route.

Yes. We help spouses, partners and children with sponsorship and accompanying applications, and advise on relationship and financial requirements. Some spouses and partners of workers and students can apply for open work permits, depending on the main applicant’s occupation or programme.

A work permit lets you work in Canada for a set time, often for one employer. Permanent residence lets you live and work anywhere in Canada indefinitely, as long as you spend at least two years in Canada in every five. Citizenship gives you a Canadian passport and the right to vote, and you can usually apply after living in Canada for at least 1,095 days in the last five years as a permanent resident. We talk through the options for your situation.
