Immigrating to Canada is a life-changing journey, but it comes with challenges. At Anwar Law Professional Corporation, we provide expert legal support to individuals and families navigating the immigration process. Our diverse and experienced team understands the importance of clarity, efficiency, and personalized service in achieving your immigration goals.

Whether you’re applying for a work permit, visitor visa, permanent residency, or Canadian citizenship, we are here to guide you every step of the way.

Work Permits

If you are not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you may require a work permit to legally work in Canada. While some exceptions exist, most foreign workers need a valid permit to secure employment.

Temporary Foreign Worker Program

Canada recognizes the valuable contributions of foreign workers and continues to support employers in hiring international talent through the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP). This program allows businesses to address labor shortages by recruiting skilled workers from abroad.

Our firm assists clients in applying for work permits, ensuring compliance with all legal requirements.

Visitor Visas

Planning to visit Canada? A visitor visa is required for many travelers. The eligibility criteria include:

• The purpose of your visit
• Proof of strong ties to your home country
• Evidence of financial stability to cover expenses

Applicants must submit a completed visa application, supporting documents (such as a valid passport and proof of financial support), and, if applicable, a letter of invitation. Our team ensures that your application meets all requirements, increasing the chances of approval.

Permanent Residency (PR) in Canada

Obtaining permanent resident (PR) status grants individuals the right to live and work in Canada indefinitely. Permanent residents enjoy many benefits, including access to healthcare and social services, but they cannot vote or hold certain high-security jobs.

To maintain PR status, individuals must reside in Canada for at least 730 days within the last five years. PR status also allows sponsorship of eligible family members for immigration to Canada.

PR Card Renewal & Canadian Citizenship

To remain a permanent resident, individuals must renew their PR card before its expiry. If eligible, PR holders can apply for Canadian citizenship after being physically present in Canada for 1,095 days within the last five years.

Our firm assists with PR renewals and citizenship applications, ensuring a smooth transition to Canadian nationality.

Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)

An LMIA is required for employers seeking to hire foreign workers for positions not filled by Canadian citizens or permanent residents. This assessment evaluates the impact of foreign hiring on the Canadian labor market, ensuring fair wages and working conditions.

An approved LMIA allows the employer to proceed with hiring, after which the foreign worker can apply for a work permit. Our firm provides comprehensive support for both employers and foreign workers navigating the LMIA process.

Family Sponsorship & Reunification

Super Visa for Parents & Grandparents

The Super Visa is a long-term visitor visa designed for parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents. It allows extended stays of up to two years per visit and remains valid for up to ten years.

Applicants must meet eligibility requirements, including:

• Undergoing a medical examination
• Securing private health insurance
• Providing proof of financial support from their sponsor in Canada

Who Can You Sponsor?

Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor:

• Spouse or common-law partner
• Dependent children, including adopted children
• Parents and grandparents
• Orphaned siblings, nieces, nephews, or grandchildren under 18 years old
• One relative of any age (if no other eligible family member exists)

Sponsors must meet specific age, residency, and income requirements. Given the complexities of family sponsorship, seeking legal guidance ensures a strong application and increases the chances of success.
