We Can Help You To Immigrate
To Canada

Canada offers multiple pathways for those looking to enter the country, each suited to different requirements. If you're planning a short stay, options like a visitor visa, study permit, or work permit might be right for you, depending on your situation. For those aiming to become permanent residents, the process is more complex and requires navigating through a detailed application procedure. Engaging an immigration lawyer can greatly enhance your chances of success.

Each year, Canada opens its doors to over 300,000 people from around the world as permanent residents, granting them rights and privileges similar to those of Canadian citizens, including access to universal healthcare, free public primary and secondary education, and lower tuition fees for higher education. However, permanent residents do not have the right to vote or apply for a Canadian passport.

To become a Canadian citizen, a permanent resident must have lived in Canada for at least 1,095 days within a five-year period, meeting the necessary residency requirements.

Sutton Law is at your service, ready to guide you through the initial permanent residency application or address any challenges in your citizenship application. With a wealth of experience in immigration law, our team is equipped to offer the advice and representation needed to smoothly navigate through Canada's immigration system.

Express Entry

The launch of the Express Entry (E.E.) system has added layers of complexity to Canada's already intricate immigration landscape. At Sutton Law, we have been involved with the Express Entry system since its inception, developing significant expertise in crafting Express Entry profiles and steering candidates through the permanent residency application process successfully.

Provincial Immigration

The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) serves as an excellent option for immigrating to Canada, enabling individuals to nominate themselves or others for residency in a specific province. This program is particularly useful for those who might not fulfill the criteria of other immigration schemes or have a preference for a certain province to settle in. For individuals who may not be eligible under the federal immigration initiatives, the PNP offers an alternate pathway to Canada. Additionally, in certain situations, candidates might also become eligible for a temporary work permit via this program, facilitating an earlier relocation to Canada and allowing their spouses and children the opportunity to work in the country.

Visa, Work, Study, and Residency Options

Visiting Canada

Obtaining a temporary visa is crucial for those planning to visit Canada, whether for business or tourism. This visa allows you to legally enter the country for activities such as family visits or business dealings. It's important to note that citizens from certain countries are exempt from needing a temporary resident visa. Similarly, spouses or dependents of temporary residents from select nations might require a temporary resident visa, though it does not authorize them to work in Canada. An immigration lawyer can help simplify the process of identifying the right immigration documents needed for your trip. Foreign nationals intending to enter or leave Canada multiple times need to secure a temporary resident visa. Business visitors, who are in Canada for activities like attending meetings or providing contractual services without needing a work permit, should declare the purpose of their visit upon arrival. Travelers from visa-exempt countries must have an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA), which is valid for five years, while American citizens do not need an eTA.

Working in Canada

Individuals from abroad looking to work in Canada are required to secure a work permit. These permits are available in two forms: open, allowing work for any employer, and employer-specific, tied to pre-arranged employment with a Canadian employer who is authorized. Additionally, spouses of foreign nationals working in Canada may be eligible for a spousal work permit. Canada facilitates the employment of foreign workers through initiatives such as the International Mobility Program and the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

Permanent Residency in Canada

Through the Express Entry program, skilled workers have the opportunity to achieve permanent residency in Canada, with candidates being selected based on their likelihood of success in the country, determined by a points-based system. For individuals who may not meet the criteria for Express Entry, becoming a permanent resident through investment is an alternative option, as the investor program promotes business investments within Canada.

Studying in Canada

Canada provides top-notch education and a multicultural environment. Graduates of Canadian educational institutions can qualify for post-study work permits, which serve as a pathway to acquiring important work experience in Canada and ultimately lead to the opportunity to apply for permanent residency.

Federal Court and Immigration Appeal

Immigration attorneys can provide support in challenging unfavorable visa outcomes by means of the Immigration and Refugee Board or Federal Court. The duration for appeal processes depends on the specifics of the case and the geographical location of the immigration office involved.
