Visit Canada

There are 3 ways to legally visit Canada. A temporary resident Visa, or an eTA, a super visa or a business visitor.

A temporary resident visa (TRV) permits stays for tourism or study, while an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) allows visa-exempt nationals to fly to Canada. A super visa enables extended visits for parents/grandparents, and a business visitor visa facilitates short-term business activities. Each has unique eligibility and application requirements.

Study In Canada

There are 2 ways to study in Canada. A study permit and a postgraduate work permit.

A study permit allows international students to study at Canadian institutions, requiring enrollment in a designated learning institution. Conversely, a postgraduate work permit (PGWP) enables graduates to gain Canadian work experience post-study, often leading to permanent residency pathways. Both have distinct eligibility criteria and application processes.

Work In Canada

There are three ways to legally work in Canada. An LMIA work permit, an LMIA-exempt work permit or through a global talent stream.

An LMIA work permit requires employer-proven labor shortages, while an LMIA-exempt work permit bypasses this for specific roles. The Global Talent Stream expedites work permits for high-demand tech occupations. Each has unique criteria, processing times, and benefits, tailored to different employer and worker needs in Canada.

Stay In Canada

You have 3 options when it comes to staying in Canada. Citizenship, permanent residency and provincial nominee program.

Canadian citizenship grants full rights, including voting and a passport, with no residency obligations. Permanent residency offers many benefits, like work and healthcare access, but requires maintaining residency and renewing status. Citizenship is the final step, ensuring permanent status and full participation in Canadian civic life.

Business Immigration

There are three ways your business can get you into Canada. An investors Visa program, a startup Visa program or a self-employed program

An Investors Visa requires substantial financial investment in Canada, promoting economic growth. The Startup Visa targets innovative entrepreneurs with support from designated entities. The Self-Employed Program caters to individuals with relevant cultural or athletic experience, contributing significantly to Canadian society. Each program has distinct eligibility and investment requirements.

Sponsorships

There are 4 ways for someone to sponsor your way into the country. Family sponsorships, or refugee sponsorships.You could also enter through a group of five, or Community sponsors, but those are special scenarios.

Family sponsorship allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor relatives, facilitating their immigration based on kinship ties. Refugee sponsorship, however, aids individuals fleeing persecution, providing humanitarian support. Each process has unique criteria, obligations, and processing times, tailored to reuniting families or offering protection to vulnerable individuals.

Refugees & Asylum Seekers

There are 4 ways refugees and asylum seekers can enter Canada. Making a refugee claim, a refugee appeal, a pre removal risk assessment or a humanitarian and compassionate grounds application

Refugee claim seeks asylum within Canada, asserting fear of persecution. A refugee appeal challenges a denied claim. A pre-removal risk assessment evaluates danger upon deportation. Humanitarian and compassionate grounds applications consider unique hardships, requesting residency based on personal circumstances. Each pathway has distinct criteria and procedural nuances.

Inadmissibility

What it means to be inadmissible. Some people aren’t allowed to come to Canada. They’re “inadmissible” under Canada’s immigration law. A Canadian immigration officer will decide if you can enter Canada
