Our Recent Immigration Success Stories

Submissions Grant Study Permit Despite Past Refusals

This week’s featured success story includes that of a young man who had previously submitted five separate study permit applications, all of which had been denied over the course of three years. With the help of our immigration team, our office was able to successfully challenge the negative decision at Federal court.  With our assistance, our client was recently issued his visa to travel to Canada and subsequent study permit to begin his studies.

Work Permit Granted Despite Cumulative Duration Rule

We assisted a client whose work permit was to expire and it appeared that he could not extend it due to the four-year limit. According to the cumulative duration rule introduced on 01 April 2011,  foreign workers in Canada (with some exceptions) can only work for four years, after which they have to wait four years in order to be granted another work permit.  Upon review of his matter, we discovered that he was unemployed for about one year during the four years, and as such, was entitled to an extension. We requested an extension of his work permit based on strong evidence of his unemployment. We were happy to learn that his permit was extended as requested.

Immigration Work Permit Status Issue Overcome and Permanent Residency Granted in Two Months!

A young man who had received a qualifying (LMIA based) job offer from a Canadian employer, approached us for assistance with his permanent residence and work permit applications.  Unfortunately, having previously submitted applications which were returned unprocessed and refused, he had inadvertently worked without authorization and lost his status in Canada.

With our assistance and extension submissions, we were able to assist the young man to submit his permanent residence application explaining his unauthorized work and overstay.  We are happy to report that his application for permanent residence was recently approved in just two short months.

Canadian Citizenship Granted Despite IRCC’s Misrepresentation Finding

An individual became the subject of (then) Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) investigations on a citizenship application for misrepresentation; specifically for failing to disclose information. CIC’s investigations revealed criminally related information, however after our investigations, we represented the individual in proving that he had not misrepresented any material fact, nor did he have any criminal convictions. This individual has since had his application processed and was pleased to take his oath as a new Canadian citizen.
