PR Card Renewal
Every year, over 20 million people visit Canada. Some for travel and enjoyment, others to visit family. Whatever the reason is, you may require the proper documentation to enter Canada. If you come from a country which is considered to be visa exempt, you may not require a visitor visa (temporary resident visa). However, those who do not come from visa exempt countries will need to fist obtain this visa before they can even board a plane to Canada
If you have an expired PR card and left Canada for the following below reasons you may still be eligible to renew your PR card with Humanitarian and Compassionate Arguments:
- Employment reason
- Family Emergency
Of course, there are other reasons which can be considered as well. The above two are mentioned as they are the main reasons many have to leave Canada and do not meet the residency requirements.
How we can help is to apply for a PR card renewal with H&C arguments and inform the officer as to why you could not meet the residency requirements.
General Immigration
Each year, many foreign workers enter Canada to work temporarily. These temporary foreign workers help fill labour shortages that currently exist in Canada through the transfer of skills. Employers help facilitate this transition by first obtaining authorization to hire a foreign worker.
Many people come to us wanting to enter Canada but have no idea how to do so. Some very frequently asked questions are:
what are my options?
What is the best way for me and my family to come to Canada?
How can I stay in Canada?
What is the best application?
For this you will be asked to provide:
- Your basic identity documentation
- A resume
- Any credentials or certifications you have
- A list of family members
With this information, we will be able to compare the merits of your case against the requirements of the various application types applicable to you. We will then consider the best options for you and outline this in a detailed guide which you can use as a starting point on which to base your future immigration plans. Further, we will also outline ways that you can improve your situation with respect to immigration options and outline other potentially viable options.
Canadian Citizenship
The Canadian government has proposed a number of changes to the rules and procedures for obtaining citizenship, effective June 2015. Any permanent residents who meet the current criteria and decide to apply before the changes come into effect will not have their applications affected by these changes.
If you are considering applying for Canadian citizenship, it is safe to assume you are aware of or have explored, some of the benefits and privileges that will become available to you. Some of these benefits are:
- Better protection of your status in Canada. You will no longer be susceptible to things like deportation or a revoking of your citizenship unless you are found to be in breach of certain circumstances prescribed by the United Nations and Canada.
- You will be able to exercise suffrage (i.e. vote) in Canadian political affairs
- Any children you may happen to have outside Canada after you have become a Canadian citizen will still be considered Canadian citizens at birth
