Our Services
Permanent Immigration
We help you select the best immigration stream for your circumstances and guide you through the entire permanent residence process.
We ensure your application is complete, accurate, and compliant with the latest regulations, providing the best chance of success.
Under the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC)’ strict assessment, a single mistake or omission may cause an application rejection, delaying your permanent residence dream for months or years. Occasionally applicants do not get a chance to reapply because a sudden policy change extinguishes the immigration stream for which they qualified.
With the help of a legal professional, your chances of receiving an approved application are increased. Preparing a strong application requires a proper understanding of immigration law that goes beyond the IRCC’s website instructions, encompassing immigration legislation, regulations, case law, and experience.
Permanent Residence Applications
Love has no borders. If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, we can help you sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, or conjugal partner - opposite or same sex - to become a permanent resident in Canada.
We help you prove that you and your spouse or partner meet the requirements of a spousal sponsorship by:
-
Selecting the right spousal sponsorship category (Spouse or Common Law Partner in Canada Class or Family Class) for your case;
-
Reviewing your application forms;
-
Advising you on the collection of supporting evidence;
-
Drafting a letter of explanation to guide the immigration officer through the forms, supporting evidence, and applicable law, with submissions on how you meet the legal requirements for sponsorship; and/or
-
Presenting humanitarian and compassionate arguments to overcome ineligibility or inadmissibility, if applicable.
Contact us for a consultation to determine whether you qualify for a Spousal Sponsorship application.

Our Services
If you are already in Canada and are not eligible under standard immigration programs or are otherwise inadmissible, but have a compassionate case, we can help you make a compelling application for permanent residence on humanitarian and compassionate (“H&C”) grounds.
You may qualify for permanent residence on H&C grounds if returning to your country of origin would cause you such hardship that decent, fair-minded Canadians would find it simply unacceptable to deny the relief sought. Circumstances that could justify humanitarian and compassionate considerations include:
-
You would suffer discrimination in your country of origin, including discrimination in access to employment, health care, education, housing, etc.
-
You would be separated from your child or forced to bring your child with you, which would disrupt your child’s life in Canada.
-
You or your dependents require ongoing medical treatment, which is unavailable in your country of origin;
-
You are deeply established in Canada (i.e. career, community, family, friends, etc) and would experience undue hardship if uprooted from your life in Canada.
If you are outside Canada, you cannot apply for permanent residence on H&C grounds. However, you can make H&C arguments within an application for permanent residence (e.g. Federal skilled worker, Canadian experience class, Spousal sponsorship) to request exemption from any applicable criteria (e.g. language requirement, professional experience, education requirement).
H&C applications are complex, context-specific, and granted on a discretionary basis. They require persuasive arguments and robust evidence to succeed. Legal representation is highly recommended.
Contact us for a consultation to determine whether your case is eligible for an H&C application.
