Canada Skilled Workers Program
Canada’s Immigration System is an open gateway for many immigrants. There are various options to choose from. An applicant may choose any category such as applying as a visitor, worker, student, or permanent resident. The tourist visa is usually issued for 6 months and granted by the Consulate. The working visa on the other hand is principally in form of an Intracompany Transfer, which is also dependent on the circumstances and the discretion of the Officer granting the application. Under this Visa, same or opposite sex partners qualify as dependants so far they have been living together for the duration of the 1 (one) year before the date of filing.

Permanent Resident, Live-In Caregiver and PR Renewal
Our team will help anyone interested to apply for permanent residence in Canada based on the following categories: business, skilled work, Canadian experience, provincial nomination, family, refugees and humanitarian concerns.
- a) The business category encompasses three classes of immigrants: investors, entrepreneurs, and self-employed persons.

Federal and Quebec Canadian Experience Class applicants are assessed based on their professional and educational experience in Canada, as well as on their language proficiency and their ability to transition from a temporary status to a permanent one.

Foreign nationals who are granted permanent residence in Canada are considered landed immigrants. They have no time limitation on their stay in Canada and are able to work, establish a business, or study in Canada without restriction. They are deemed returning residents for purposes of re-entry to Canada after international travel.
A foreign national may be ineligible for permanent residence in Canada if he or she falls into one of the following grounds of inadmissibility:
(1) Security;
(2) Human or international rights violations;
(3) Criminal offenses;
(4) Membership in organized crime;
(5) Public health grounds;
(6) Likelihood of becoming a public charge;

ESDC Category
ESDC Work Permit: Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA): Depends on the duties the employee will undertake in Canada and the related NOC number. The employer must advertise for the position for a minimum of four weeks and conduct similar recruitment activities consistent with the practice within the occupation. The main goal of the process is to demonstrate to an ESDC officer that the presence of the foreign worker will not have any negative impact on the Canadian labor market. Live-in caregivers are also included under this category.
Simplified Process (Quebec Only): This program includes 37 occupations that are exempt from the regular recruitment process required for an LMIA. Requirements overview: The applicant’s position in Canada must fall within one of the selected 37 occupations and meet the prevailing wage associated with the occupation. Among the selected occupations are the following: human resources managers, software engineers and designers, mechanical engineering technologists and technicians, and registered nurses.
Quebec Visa
We offer our support in your application regarding the grant of Visa in the Province of Quebec. Being one with a separate requirement, it is usually required that receiving a Quebec Visa must be treated with absolute importance. Quebec is a province where certain immigrants with specific criteria are stated, unlike the government of Canada where there are less-strict measures for choosing candidates. To receive a PR or Work Permit in Quebec candidates have to submit a separate application to the Citizenship and Immigration of Canada for either a work permit or permanent residence.
Legalization of Documents
We help with the legalization of documents for use abroad. This is most beneficial where Certified True Copies are required. We will assist in facilitating the issuance of these documents to and from Canada and legalize them via diplomatic missions.
