Our Recent Immigration Success Stories

Fast-Tracked PR Despite Work History Challenges

We were retained to assist with a permanent residence application under the Canadian Experience Class through Express Entry. While the principal applicant had multiple years of skilled work experience both in Canada and abroad, he faced significant challenges in obtaining the formal employment reference letters required by IRCC. One former employer had rebranded and no longer operated under its original name, another was unreachable with no former colleagues available to assist, and some had unresponsive HR departments. Additionally, part of his Canadian work experience occurred during a period when his work permit had expired, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our legal team took a strategic and resourceful approach. We gathered alternative documentation to establish the client’s employment history and conducted extensive legal research into temporary COVID-19 public policies that allowed lawful work under certain conditions, even without a valid permit. In addition to a comprehensive set of supporting documents, we prepared a detailed legal submission demonstrating his eligibility for the program and addressing each potential concern proactively.

Less than three months after submission, the application was approved. We are pleased to have supported our client in overcoming documentation challenges and successfully securing permanent residence for their family.

Super Visa Approved After Refusal and Federal Court Challenge

A client approached us for assistance with a Super Visa application for his elderly mother. The family presented a strong overall profile: the son is well-established in Canada with a stable, well-paying job and significant savings, while the mother is in good health, has solid travel history, and enjoys a fulfilling life in her home country, surrounded by family, friends, and a supportive community. Her intention was simply to visit her son and grandchildren in Canada temporarily.

We prepared a thorough and well-documented application package. However, to the family’s disappointment, the visa was refused on the grounds of the purpose of visit. Believing the refusal to be unreasonable, we recommended challenging the decision at the Federal Court. The matter was settled, and the application was returned to a different officer for re-determination.

We assisted the client in submitting additional and updated documentation. In additional to standard updates, we went beyond the usual checklist – thinking creatively and including additional evidence to reinforce the mother’s strong ties to her home country and the temporary nature of her visit. We also reviewed the officer’s notes and identified that the proof of relationship may have been overlooked in the original decision. We clarified this directly in our legal submissions to ensure all previous concerns were fully addressed.

Five months later, the application was approved. We are proud to have helped our client overcome an unjust refusal and reunite with his mother in Canada.

Medical Inadmissibility Overcome Following Detailed Mitigation Plan

We’re pleased to share a recent success in a complex medical inadmissibility case involving an applicant with kidney disease. After several years under review by IRCC, and following multiple procedural fairness letters and revised mitigation plans, the applicant has finally been deemed medically admissible.

This result did not come easily. It was the outcome of evolving medical circumstances, careful planning, and ongoing advocacy. The mitigation strategy was adapted over time to reflect changes in the applicant’s condition, including the possibility of dialysis and a kidney transplant. We addressed the potential progression to kidney failure, highlighting the applicant’s individualized needs and supporting the case with strong humanitarian and compassionate grounds. A comprehensive plan was submitted that captured not only the current costs of care but also anticipated expenses that might arise in Canada..

Throughout this journey, the family remained resilient. They never gave up hope. After years of perseverance, research, and collaborative effort, they received the decision they had long been waiting for: medical admissibility granted.

A Family’s Successful Path to Overcoming Medical Inadmissibility

Earlier this year, we assisted a family on a sponsorship application that had been in process for some time, which was then transferred to examine admissibility.

We are pleased to share that the family was successful in presenting a plan to mitigate the costs to Canada, to avoid causing an excessive demand for kidney replacement therapy: a transplant or dialysis, that was expected to be needed in the five-year period under consideration. The plan prepared and submitted to IRCC addressed the anticipated cost to Canada up to $500,000, demonstrating that the costs that will actually be required, when individualized to the applicant, were well under the threshold in the five-year period. The plan included extensive medical evidence together with the cost of services to be provided in the province of destination, with supporting evidence to support the plan for care together with financial and supporting references, all of which was also supported by relevant law and related caselaw. With this, the family was able to overcome the initial medical inadmissibility finding
