Live in Canada

(Your Gateway to a Bright Future)

Canada is renowned as one of the best places in the world to live, offering exceptional opportunities for employment and housing. At VisaWorks Canada, we’re committed to simplifying your path to becoming a part of this vibrant nation. Every year, countless individuals make the life-changing decision to move to Canada, and we are here to provide comprehensive support for your citizenship needs, whether you aim to become a permanent or temporary resident.

Express Entry Canada

Express Entry Canada is a streamlined immigration program for individuals aspiring to make Canada their permanent home. By uploading your resume through this system, you enter a comprehensive Ranking approach, a point-based evaluation methodology. Factors such as age, education, language proficiency (English or French), and Canadian work experience are taken into account. We’ll assist you in navigating this system for a chance to secure permanent residence.

Family Sponsorship

Canadian citizens or permanent residents who are at least 18 years old can sponsor family members to immigrate to Canada and apply for permanent residency. While Canada values family reunification, there are specific guidelines regarding which relatives can be sponsored. We’ll guide you through this process, making it easier to bring your loved ones to Canada.

Temporary to Permanent Residency

Under Canada’s new residency regulations, if you’re currently working in the country, you have the opportunity to transition from temporary to permanent residency. This opportunity extends to a wide range of essential professionals, both in healthcare and non-healthcare fields. We’ll help you explore this option to secure your future in Canada.

Visitor Record

Maximize your Canadian experience with the Visitor Record. Initially allowing a stay of up to 6 months, this option provides flexibility for tourists. Should your plans change, our expert guidance can assist in extending your stay without having to leave the country, provided you present a compelling case to the visa officer. Experience the best of Canada, and let us facilitate your seamless journey.

Restoration of Status

Restore your status in Canada with precision through our Restoration of Status service. Whether you’re a student, worker, or visitor facing an inadvertent status lapse, we offer expert assistance in reclaiming your legal standing in Canada. Our professionals streamline the restoration process, ensuring you can continue your journey in Canada. Trust us to navigate the complexities and secure your status without unnecessary delays.

 

Temporary Resident Permits (TRPs)

Individuals not meeting Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) requirements or facing inadmissibility under IRPA can apply for a TRP. This includes those:

  • Denied permanent or temporary resident visas abroad
  • Refused electronic travel authorization (eTA)
  • Deemed inadmissible under section A44(1)
  • Permitted withdrawal of entry application at a port of entry (POE)
  • Experiencing refusal processing within Canada

In specific cases, an officer may issue a TRP, allowing temporary residency for those facing inadmissibility under justified circumstances.

Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC)

When a foreign national is required to leave Canada, in some instances the foreign national needs to apply for an Authorization to Return to Canada (ARC) to re-enter legally. This formal process seeks the government’s permission for a lawful return after a previous departure.

Change in Status

For those seeking a change in status within Canada, our expert guidance ensures a smooth transition. Whether transitioning from a visitor to a student or worker, or changing your current status for other reasons, we facilitate the necessary processes to align with your evolving circumstances. Trust us to navigate the complexities and streamline your journey to a new status in Canada seamlessly.
