Questions to Ask Before Hiring
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer for an immigration application in Canada?
You are not required to hire a lawyer for most immigration applications, but legal representation can be valuable for complex cases, refusals, appeals, or situations with inadmissibility issues. Authorized representatives include lawyers and regulated immigration consultants (RCICs).
What is Express Entry?
Express Entry is Canada's primary system for managing applications for permanent residence under three federal economic immigration programs. Candidates are ranked using a Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score based on factors like age, education, language ability, and work experience.
What is the BC Provincial Nominee Program?
The BC PNP allows British Columbia to nominate individuals for Canadian permanent residence based on their skills, work experience, and ability to contribute to the BC economy. There are multiple streams targeting different types of workers and entrepreneurs.
What is the difference between a work permit and permanent residence?
A work permit is a temporary authorization to work in Canada for a specific period. Permanent residence grants the right to live and work in Canada indefinitely. Many people use a work permit as a pathway to eventually applying for permanent residence.
What should I do if my immigration application is refused?
If your application is refused, you may have options including requesting reconsideration, filing an appeal with the Immigration Appeal Division, or applying for judicial review at the Federal Court. The appropriate option depends on the type of application and the reasons for refusal. Legal advice is strongly recommended.
