Our Recent Immigration Success Stories

Helping Parents Reunite with Their Child in Canada

We were retained to assist with Super Visa applications for both parents of a permanent resident. The applications involved a careful assessment of the family’s overall circumstances, including the financial situation of the Canadian host and the parents’ eligibility for the program.

Our legal team worked closely with the clients to understand their circumstances, identify potential concerns, and determine how best to present the evidence. We carefully reviewed and organized the supporting documents and prepared a comprehensive application package to clearly demonstrate that all relevant program requirements were met.

Despite the time required to prepare a thorough package, both Super Visa applications were approved in less than three weeks. We are very pleased to have helped our clients obtain their Super Visas and reunite with their child in Canada.

Swift PhD Study Permit Approval

A client retained us to assist with a study permit application for a PhD program. His case presented several challenges, including a previous refusal and complexities surrounding his immigration status in his country of residence.

Our legal team obtained and carefully reviewed the previous application records through ATIP, worked closely with the client to understand his circumstances, and prepared a comprehensive application package addressing the potential concerns. Given the time-sensitive nature of the application, we also requested expedited processing available to eligible doctoral students.

The application was approved in three weeks. We are very pleased to have helped our client overcome the previous refusal and begin his PhD studies in Canada on time.

Success Story: Approval in Principle on Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds

We are pleased to share a positive result in a recent application for permanent residence based on humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) considerations.

Our client was a parent and grandparent living in Canada who faced difficult personal circumstances. She was widowed, had a medical condition, and had developed strong family ties in Canada, including an important relationship with her children and grandchildren who live here.

The application focused on her unique humanitarian circumstances, her family connections in Canada, and the hardship she could face if required to leave the country.

We were very pleased to receive Approval in Principle on her application — an important positive step in the H&C permanent residence process.

For our client and her family, this decision represents much more than progress on an immigration application. It provides hope that she may be able to remain close to the family and grandchildren who form such an important part of her life.

Every humanitarian and compassionate application is assessed on its own particular facts and circumstances, and positive outcomes are never guaranteed. We are grateful to have helped this family reach this important milestone in their journey toward permanent residence in Canada.

Certificate of Rehabilitation Approved for Past Conviction

Our client had a dream to re-settle in Canada with the family, although was unable to contemplate this based on a prior criminal conviction overseas dating back over 30 years ago. Despite the conviction being so dated, our client remained criminally inadmissible. Although processing was lengthy, we are pleased that our client recently received the approval of a certificate of rehabilitation to permanently overcome the identified criminal inadmissibility for a conviction equivalent to an offence under the (Canadian) Narcotic Control Act.
