At Bellissimo Immigration Law Group PC, we are privileged to work on behalf of many wonderful people, companies and associations. We represent immigration applicants from far outside Canada, from the time they step foot into the country’s airport waiting rooms all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.
Our immigration clients often tell us after their case is concluded that it would have helped to know of similar stories that are real and not just what you hear on the street. So every month, we post a few stories to celebrate our immigration success stories and offer some comfort to those who will soon embark on a similar journey…
We were successful on a matter that dates back to 2011, that began with a Record Suspension for the applicant, then sponsorship by the spouse of the applicant, and then finally an Authorization to return to Canada for previous removal from Canada. The couple are now united in Canada permanently after many years of being in limbo.
We succeeded in settling a Federal Court case and overturning the refusal of a Federal Skilled Worker application for permanent residence on grounds of misrepresentation. The Visa Office concluded, after conducting on-site verifications, that the applicant had misrepresented his work experience. As a result, the application was refused and the applicant and his family were deemed inadmissible to Canada for five years.
The case was settled soon after our initial arguments were filed, and the application was sent back to the visa office for redetermination. After assisting our client in updating his application, he recently was informed that his application had been approved. He and his family will soon obtain their permanent residence visas and be able to come to Canada for the first time.
Our office was approached by a young professional to manage her permanent residence application under the Express Entry system. We worked diligently to complete and submit her permanent residence application pursuant to the Express Entry category – Canadian Experience Class within the deadline provided to our client by Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Only two months after submission, we received a request for original passport for IRCC to place her permanent resident visa inside. Her original passport was submitted to IRCC and we expect our client to get landed in the near future.
After a removal from Canada, followed by a refusal of a sponsorship application, we were recently successful in securing permanent residence for a spouse of a Canadian citizen under the Overseas Spousal Sponsorship application which was supported by a comprehensive application for Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC), that clearly set out the compelling reasons that this individual should be allowed to return to Canada to reunite with her spouse. Prior to hiring legal representation, the couple had experienced many years of separation. We are pleased that we were able to quickly assist and have the couple reunite in Canada!
