TEMPORARY WORKERS

Do you want to work in Canada?

For the majority of temporary workers you need to obtain a work permit to be allowed to work in Canada.
Do I need to have a job offer? Will I have an open work permit? An employer-specific work permit? Can I change jobs?
What is a LIAM? Do I need one?…

My role is not only to answer all these questions but also to work with you and decide what the best option is for your successful immigration.

Many different criterias emerge such as the candidate’s nationality, age, language(s), diplomas, work experience, preferred province(s), preferred job position in Canada, family status.

There is no “one size fits all” process, each case is unique and we will determine which permit would be the best fit for you together.

 

 

An open work permit such as:

  • A Post-Graduation Work Permit.
  • A work permit for a spouse or common-law partner.
  • A working holiday permit.
  • A transitory work permit.
  • A work permit for vulnerable workers.

 

An employer-specific work permit such as:

  • With a labor market impact assessment (LIAM): simplified process, regular process, global talent stream.
  • With no labor market impact assessment (LIAM), through the International Mobility Program (IMP).
  • A Young Professionals permit.
  • A co-op work permit.

Are you already employed in Canada?

Do you wish to:

  • Change jobs or employer
  • Renew your/ or your spouse work permit
  • Restore your status
  • Request a new work permit
  • You need more information to be able to keep working in Canada when your current work permit expires
  • Apply for permanent residency or a Quebec Selection Certificate
  • Find a solution to stay in Canada

It just takes a few steps from temporary worker to permanent resident. Don’t wait to book your discovery call!

I am not a recruitment agency, I am in daily contact with Canadian and more precisely Quebecois companies. Don’t hesitate to forward me your resume. This is a free service no one should ever ask you to pay to find a position.

STUDENTS

From choosing your province to your study programme, from the Québec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ), to the post diploma work permit while requesting a study permit extension. I can be your support every step of the way in all your applications and be a partner to your future successes.

Immigration Canada

Why study in Canada?

Studying in Canada is investing in your future. Seven Canadian universities are amongst the 200 best universities in the world.

There is a huge range of diplomas available and most are recognised worldwide.
On top of the quality of life, international students enjoy the same rights and liberties that protect all Canadians. Human and personal rights, equality and diversity are prioritised in a stable and peaceful society.

Do you need a study permit?

Some programs do not require a study permit (document given by the federal government). However in order to obtain a study permit you must fulfil the requirements for canadian immigration (and Quebec requirements if needed). For example language level, proof of funds or a visa.

My role is to help you put together a solid and cohesive application to minimise the risk of a rejection.

If I don’t think that your study plan has a chance of success, then I would prefer to end our working relationship rather than waste your money when the risk of a rejection is high.

Have you had a study permit already rejected?

It’s time to get help! Together we can look at the reasons given for the rejection and we will build a stronger case.

Did you know that you could be eligible to work while you are studying?

Where can I work? On or off campus? How many hours per week? When can I start work? Can I work during the holidays? Can I go back to my home country while studying? Can I work in another province while off school?
So many legitimate questions for a student!

You need answers specific to your case (a mistake could lead to expulsion from Canada).

You have graduated and want to remain in Canada?

Don’t miss the opportunity of a first working experience in Canada thanks to a post graduation work permit (PGWP). Obtaining a PGWP and its length depends on many factors that you need to know before making an application. I’m here to help you with this process and your questions.

You have studied in Quebec and wish to apply for permanent residency?
Contact me without delay.

The Quebec Experience programme (QEP) is the first level of provincial selection in order to obtain a Quebec Selection certificate that will lead you to permanent residency.

ASYLUM SEEKERS AND HUMANITARIAN REASONS

Whatever your story, be assured that you will be heard without judgement. I believe that everybody deserves a chance in Canada.

Please be aware that I am accredited to defend your case in front of The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB): Refugee Protection Division (RPD), Refugee Appeal Division (RAD), Immigration Division (ID), Immigration Appeal Division (IAD).

Asylum requests made in Canada.

Do you think that you’re eligible for asylum? Do you need help to complete the Basis of Claim (BOC) Form?
The Refugee Protection Division (RPD) has rejected your application and you wish to appeal?

Do you live outside Canada but wish to come to Canada and ask for asylum? I can advise you and evaluate your request.

Removal Order and Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA).

Your request has been rejected and analysis of the risk of repatriation.

Have you just received a removal order? It might not be too late, contact me without delay.
I can assist you with preparing the pre-removal risk assessment (PRRA) or submit a request to The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) depending on your situation.

Inadmissibility solutions and remedies

The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act aims to (among other goals) “protect public health and safety and to maintain the security of Canadian society”.

This is why some foreigners or permanent residents are not allowed to enter Canada. What are the reasons? Security, terrorism, organized crime or medical reasons, for example drunk driving can lead to inadmissibility. Do you think that you shouldn’t have received a notice of expulsion? Contact me without delay.

Humanitarian and compassionate considerations.

Depending on your particular circumstances, I may be able to help you remain in Canada by asking for permanent residency based on humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) considerations.

A request based on humanitarian and compassionate considerations must be based on relevant factors. Such factors include establishment in Canada, links with Canada, superior interest of children affected by the decision, factors related to your home country, health factors (unavailability of medical treatment in home country), domestic violence, family separation, incapacity to leave Canada due to establishment… as well as any other unique or exceptional circumstances that can justify special measures.

PERMANENT RESIDENCY AND CITIZENSHIP

There are different ways to gain permanent residency. I can help you identify the option most suitable to your situation.

Immigration Canada

Family class and sponsorship

One of the objectives of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act is to “ see that families are reunited in Canada”
If a member of your family is in Canada, you could be eligible for sponsorship. This could be a route to obtain permanent residency.

Similarly you could sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner and dependent child, parents or grandparents in order for them to become permanent Canadian residents.
Book a consultation to check on your eligibility criterias.

 

Economic immigration: Express entry, ARRIMA, Provincial Nominee Program?

Aside from specific provincial programmes, the wider selection system for economic migrants in Canada is Express Entry.
The Express Entry process allows qualified workers to settle in Canada and obtain permanent residency. Candidates register in a province and their profile is ranked using a points system based on various criterias (age, diplomas, skills, language ability, experience). The federal government regularly invites a number of people to apply for permanent residency in which those with the maximum number of points are usually selected.

Express entry doesn’t work in Quebec. It’s the ARRIMA system that helps with the selection of candidates wishing to settle down in Quebec.

A points system is in use and profiles with the highest number of points are usually selected. But did you know that a valid job offer in a region can lead to being selected?

You already have a job but want to apply for permanent residency? Don’t delay and contact me now.
Anybody can register in the different pools for Canada and Quebec immigration, but the majority isn’t selected.

A more efficient solution is to consult an immigration professional before making a request to assess your score and see if any criterias can be improved on to better your chances of selection.
An initial consultation is the best way to understand all the options available and know what to choose to increase your chances.

Self employed workers

Are you self-employed and think that your business could grow in Canada? There are schemes available to grant you permanent residency.

Contact me to assess your success rate for these programmes.

Citizenship request

Are you eligible? Do you need help to complete your request? Or do you have a few questions?

Contact me and we can assess your case together.
