Temporary Residence
Study Permit & Extensions
A Study Permit is a document issued by the Canadian government that allows international students to study at Designated Learning Institutions (DLIs). It defines the conditions and length of stay, and may include work restrictions. A Canadian Study Permit opens doors to world-class education, meaningful cultural exchange, and future career opportunities—including pathways to post-graduate work and permanent residency in Canada.
Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)
The LMIA program offers foreign workers a clear, employer-backed pathway to work in Canada, often leading to a work permit and valuable Canadian job experience. Holding an LMIA-based job can significantly strengthen a future permanent residence application, especially through programs like Express Entry. For many applicants, it’s a practical and reliable route to enter the Canadian labor market and begin building a long-term life in Canada.
Visitor Visa (ETA)
The Visitor eTA (Electronic Travel Authorization) allows eligible foreign nationals to fly to Canada for short visits without needing a traditional visa, making the process faster, cheaper, and more convenient. For applicants, it provides an easy way to explore Canada for tourism, business, or to visit family, and can be approved within minutes. An approved eTA is valid for up to five years or until the passport expires, offering flexibility for multiple trips.
Visitor Visa (TRV)
The Visitor TRV (Temporary Resident Visa) allows foreign nationals from visa-required countries to enter Canada temporarily for tourism, visiting family or friends, or conducting short-term business. For applicants, it provides the opportunity to experience life in Canada firsthand, build connections, and potentially explore future immigration or study options. A TRV is typically issued for up to six months per visit and can be valid for multiple entries during its validity period.
Post-Graduate Work Permit
The Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) allows international students who have completed an eligible program at a Canadian Designated Learning Institution (DLI) to gain valuable Canadian work experience. This open work permit supports career development by letting graduates work for any employer across Canada. PGWP is also a critical stepping stone toward permanent residency through various immigration pathways like Express Entry.
International Experience Canada (IEC)
The International Experience Canada (IEC) program offers young individuals from partner countries the opportunity to live and work in Canada temporarily. It provides an exciting gateway to gain international work experience, explore Canadian life, and build global connections. Whether you're on a working holiday, co-op internship, or young professionals stream, the IEC program helps you grow personally and professionally in a globally respected environment.
Spousal Open Work Permit
The Spousal Open Work Permit (SOWP) allows the spouses or common-law partners of certain temporary residents—such as international students or skilled foreign workers—to work for any employer in Canada without needing a job offer. This provides applicants with the freedom to gain Canadian work experience, support their family financially, and integrate into the community while their partner studies or works. It also strengthens future permanent residence applications by demonstrating adaptability and economic contribution.
Super Visa
The Super Visa is a long-term, multiple-entry visa that allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to stay in Canada for up to **5 years at a time** without the need to renew their status. For applicants, it offers a valuable opportunity to spend extended time with family in Canada while avoiding the limitations of a regular visitor visa. It also provides peace of mind through its health insurance requirement, ensuring medical coverage during their stay.
Business Visitor/Short Term Work Permit
The Business Visitor program allows foreign nationals to come to Canada temporarily without a work permit to engage in international business activities, such as attending meetings, conferences, or training, without entering the Canadian labor market. In contrast, the Short-Term Work Permit enables foreign workers to take on specific, time-limited job assignments (typically under 30 or 120 days) in certain high-demand or exempt occupations. For applicants, these options offer efficient ways to gain international experience, build business ties, or complete specialized work in Canada without committing to long-term immigration pathways.
Temporary Residence Appeals
Temporary Residence Appeals provide individuals who have been denied a temporary visa—such as a visitor visa, study permit, or work permit—an opportunity to challenge the decision. While Canada does not offer a formal appeal process for most temporary residence refusals, applicants can request a reconsideration, reapply with stronger documentation, or seek a judicial review through the Federal Court. For applicants, pursuing an appeal or review can be a critical chance to correct misunderstandings, present new evidence, and keep hopes of entering Canada alive.
Permanent Residence
Express Entry
Express Entry is Canada’s fast-track immigration system for skilled workers seeking permanent residence. For applicants, it offers a streamlined and transparent process that prioritizes candidates based on factors like education, work experience, and language skills, often leading to permanent residence invitations within months. It’s highly valued because it provides a clear, points-based pathway to build a new life in Canada quickly and efficiently.
Provincial Nominee Program
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows Canadian provinces and territories to nominate skilled workers, entrepreneurs, or graduates who meet their specific economic and labor market needs for permanent residence. For applicants, it offers a tailored immigration route that can increase the chances of approval and often speeds up the process, especially if they have skills or experience in high-demand local industries. The PNP provides the opportunity to settle in a preferred province and build a career in a community that aligns with their goals.
Entrepreneur/Investor Programs
Entrepreneur and Investor Programs offer foreign business people a pathway to Canadian permanent residence by investing in or starting a business that contributes to the local economy. For applicants, these programs provide an opportunity to leverage their business skills and capital to establish or grow enterprises in Canada, creating jobs and economic growth. They’re valuable for those looking to combine immigration with entrepreneurial ventures, gaining both residency and the chance to build a successful business.
Permanent Resident & Renewal
The Permanent Resident (PR) program grants foreign nationals the right to live, work, and study in Canada indefinitely, offering access to social benefits and a pathway to citizenship. For applicants, becoming a PR means long-term security, stability, and the ability to fully integrate into Canadian society. The renewal process ensures that PR holders maintain their status by meeting residency requirements, allowing them to continue enjoying these benefits while planning their future in Canada.
Self-Employed
The Self-Employed Program allows individuals with relevant experience in cultural activities, athletics, or farming to immigrate to Canada by contributing their skills and creating their own employment. For applicants, it offers a unique pathway to permanent residence by leveraging their talent and entrepreneurial spirit without needing a traditional job offer. This program is ideal for those who want to live in Canada while pursuing a self-directed career or business.
Startup Visa
The Startup Visa program targets innovative entrepreneurs who have the potential to build businesses in Canada that are competitive globally and can create jobs. For applicants, it offers a direct path to permanent residence by securing support from designated Canadian investors or business groups, allowing them to launch their startup while living in Canada. This program is valuable for entrepreneurs seeking both immigration and a supportive ecosystem to grow their innovative ideas.
Family Sponsorship
The Family Sponsorship program allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor close family members—such as spouses, common-law partners, dependent children, and parents—to become permanent residents. For applicants, it provides a meaningful way to reunite with loved ones and build a life together in Canada, often with faster processing times compared to other immigration streams. This program emphasizes keeping families together and supporting their long-term stability in Canada.
Permanent Residence Appeals
Permanent Residence Appeals allow individuals who have been refused permanent residence status to challenge the decision through the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) of the Immigration and Refugee Board. For applicants, this process provides a critical opportunity to present additional evidence or address concerns, potentially overturning refusals and securing their right to live in Canada permanently. It’s especially valuable for those who believe the refusal was unfair or based on incomplete information.
Citizenship
Citizenship Application
The Citizenship Application process allows permanent residents who meet residency and other requirements to become Canadian citizens, gaining the full rights and responsibilities of citizenship. For applicants, becoming a citizen provides the ultimate security, including the right to vote, obtain a Canadian passport, and access government jobs. It represents a meaningful milestone of belonging and full participation in Canadian society.
Citizenship Appeals
Citizenship appeals give applicants who have been denied Canadian citizenship the chance to challenge the decision through the Citizenship Appeal Division. For applicants, this process offers an important opportunity to address issues like application refusals or revocations, potentially reversing the decision and achieving citizenship. It ensures fairness by allowing individuals to present their case before a tribunal.
Corporate Applications
Global Talent Streams (LMIA)
The Global Talent Stream (GTS) is a fast-track LMIA program designed to help Canadian employers quickly hire highly skilled foreign workers in specialized occupations, particularly in the tech and innovation sectors. For applicants, it offers a faster and more efficient pathway to work in Canada, often with priority processing and less red tape. This program is valuable for talented professionals seeking timely access to Canadian job opportunities in high-demand fields.
Other Streams (LMIA)
Other LMIA streams include various categories outside the Global Talent Stream, such as the High-Wage and Low-Wage streams, which help employers hire temporary foreign workers to fill labor shortages when qualified Canadians aren’t available. For applicants, these streams provide opportunities to work in Canada across a broad range of industries and job types, supporting short- or long-term employment goals. They are valuable for those seeking to gain Canadian work experience and potentially transition to permanent residence.
