Our Recent Immigration Success Stories

Joint Recommendation at the IAD allows our client to stay in Canada

Our client first came to us many years ago to assist with his hearings before the Immigration Division (“ID”) and the Immigration Appeal Division (“IAD”) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (“IRB”). At that time, his removal from Canada was stayed for a set period of time and enforceable conditions were imposed on our client in order for him to remain in Canada.
Once ready for the redetermination of his removal order appeal, the client contacted us again to assist him with his matter before the IAD. We prepared our client and his witnesses extensively prior to the hearing and submitted a documentary disclosure in support of his appeal.
We are thrilled that we were able to come to a joint recommendation with Minister’s Counsel to extend our client’s stay of removal for an additional two years. We wish our client the best as he continues to build his life in Canada!

Humanitarian & Compassionate arguments in a Parental Sponsorship refusal case lead to successful PR!

Our client sought our help following the refusal of his application to Sponsor his Parents for Permanent Residence (PR), after an Officer determined that he failed to meet the minimum necessary income requirement. In support of his matter and in preparation for the hearing, we prepared a comprehensive documentary disclosure and conducted extensive client interviews.

On the date of the hearing, after testimony from our client, the Minister agreed to a joint recommendation to allow the appeal on humanitarian and compassionate grounds. The Member agreed, rendering a decision on the spot to allow the appeal. We are very pleased that we were able to assist our client in obtaining permanent resident status for his parents in Canada!

Using Temporary Foreign Worker Programs (TFWP) to tackle Labour Shortage in Canada

Our office is currently retained to assist a Canadian employer bring foreign workers to deal with the ongoing labour shortage in the Canadian mining industry. Upon receiving a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), we continued working closely with the employer and foreign workers in preparing their work permit applications.

Within just three weeks, the work permit applications for two workers have already been approved. The employer is very pleased that the foreign workers can start working right away, just in time for the busier months! We are thrilled about the timely approval and are continuing to work diligently to help the employer bring more foreign workers to Canada.

Inadmissibility due to Misrepresentation & Criminality successfully removed!

Our client had a minor, single conviction that dated well over a decade and was unable to travel to Canada to visit family as his conviction rendered him criminally inadmissible to Canada. We assisted him with a Criminal Rehabilitation application made to an overseas Embassy. In addition to the individual’s criminal inadmissibility, there were also circumstances of a failure to disclose the criminal background on previous applications, leading to various findings of misrepresentation, which too were disclosed within the application. Following very lengthy processing and our consistent follow ups with the Embassy, our client finally received a decision after three years. We were pleased to learn that the application was recently, and finally, approved, and the prior misrepresentations overcome. Additionally, our client’s criminal inadmissibility has been permanently removed and he is now free to seek entry to Canada!
