Canadian Immigration Services
Bill C-3 Citizenship By Descent
We know that discovering you may be a Canadian citizen (without ever having applied) can be both exciting and confusing. If you or your child were born abroad to a Canadian parent and are unsure whether Bill C-3 applies to you, our Citizenship by Descent service is for you. A skilled immigration lawyer will assess your eligibility under the new rules, gather the necessary documentation, and guide you through the citizenship certificate application process. We'll make sure your claim is properly supported so you can receive the recognition you're legally entitled to.
Criminal Rehabilitation
We know that a past criminal record can make entering Canada feel impossible, even years after you've moved on with your life. If you are considered criminally inadmissible to Canada but are ready to resolve your status permanently, our Criminal Rehabilitation service is for you. A skilled immigration lawyer will evaluate your eligibility, gather the necessary documentation, and build a compelling application that presents your case in the strongest possible light. We'll work to permanently clear your path to Canada so you never have to worry about being turned away at the border again.
Temporary Resident Permit
We know that being denied entry to Canada due to a criminal record can disrupt your travel, work, and family plans in ways that feel completely out of your control. If you need to enter Canada urgently but are not yet eligible for Criminal Rehabilitation, our Temporary Resident Permit service is for you. A skilled immigration lawyer will assess your situation, establish the compelling need required for approval, and prepare a thorough application that clearly justifies your entry. We'll make sure your permit request gives you the best possible chance of crossing the border when it matters most.
CUSMA Professionals
The CUSMA (Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement) Professional work permit allows eligible citizens of the U.S. and Mexico to work in Canada in one of over 60 specific professions. This visa category facilitates temporary entry by waiving the requirement for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), simplifying the process for both the employer and the worker. To qualify, an applicant must have a pre-arranged job offer in a qualifying occupation and meet the corresponding educational and professional credentials.
Intra-Company Transfer
We know that navigating the requirements for transferring key employees to Canada can feel overwhelming. If your company is looking to relocate a manager, executive, or specialized knowledge worker to a Canadian office, our Intra-Company Transfer service is for you. A skilled immigration lawyer will assess your employee's eligibility, guide you through the work permit requirements, and prepare a complete, well-supported application. We'll make sure your transfer is handled efficiently, minimizing disruptions to your business operations.
