What is a Super Visa and who is eligible for it?

The Super Visa allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to stay in Canada for up to two years at a time without having to renew their status. To be eligible, you must be the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, meet a minimum income threshold, have valid Canadian medical insurance, and pass an immigration medical exam.

How can I sponsor my family members to immigrate to Canada?

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their spouses, partners, children, and other eligible relatives to become permanent residents. You must be 18 years or older, live in Canada, and meet certain financial requirements.

Do immigration lawyers really help?

Yes, immigration lawyers can significantly improve the chances of a successful application. They provide expert advice, personalized guidance, and representation, ensuring that your application is accurate, complete, and submitted on time. They can also help navigate any challenges or complications that may arise during the process.

What happens if my citizenship application is denied?

If your citizenship application is denied, you may have the right to appeal the decision before the Federal Court. It is important to seek legal advice to understand the reasons for the denial and to prepare a strong case for your appeal.

Can my citizenship be revoked?

Yes, citizenship can be revoked for reasons such as misrepresentation, fraud, or concealing material circumstances. However, you have the right to appeal the revocation before the Federal Court.

What are the language requirements for Canadian citizenship?

Canada has two official languages—English and French. If you are between 18-54 years old at the time of the application, you must show that you have adequate knowledge of one of these languages. This generally means you can take part in short, everyday conversations, understand simple instructions, use basic grammar, and know enough common words and phrases to express yourself.

How can I extend my visitor visa in Canada? 

If you want to extend your stay in Canada, you must apply before your temporary resident visa expires. It is advisable to apply 30 days before your status expires. If you apply to extend your visa and it expires while you are waiting for a decision, you still have temporary resident status, known as “implied status.”

What is the Express Entry system?

Express Entry is an online system used by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to manage applications for permanent residence from skilled workers. It includes programs such as the Federal Skilled Worker Program, Federal Skilled Trades Program, and Canadian Experience Class. Candidates are ranked based on a Comprehensive Ranking System, and those with the highest scores are invited to apply for permanent residence.
