Individuals

Whether it's for your studies, to work or to settle permanently in Canada, we identify the most suitable immigration programs for you and support you rigorously and professionally at every stage of your process.

A human approach to support you

1

Study permit

A study permit is an official document issued by the Canadian government that authorizes a foreign national to study in Canada at a designated learning institution. It specifies the duration of studies, the conditions to be met, and, in some cases, the possibilities for working during the program. This permit is generally required for any study program lasting more than six months.

2

Open work permit

An open work permit is an official authorization that allows a foreign national to work in Canada for any eligible employer, without being tied to a specific position or employer. It offers significant professional flexibility and is granted in specific situations as defined by law.

3

Closed work permit

A closed work permit is an official authorization issued by the Canadian government that allows an individual to work in Canada for a specific employer, in a specific position, and at a specific location. It is tied to a single employer; therefore, the holder cannot change jobs without obtaining a new permit. This type of permit is generally issued when the employer has received a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).

4

EIMT

The Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is an official document issued by Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) that confirms a Canadian employer is authorized to hire a foreign worker. Its purpose is to demonstrate that no Canadian citizen or permanent resident is available to fill the position, and that hiring a foreign worker will not have a negative impact on the Canadian labour market.

5

Permanent residence

A permanent resident is someone who has immigrated to Canada but has not yet acquired Canadian citizenship. Generally, permanent residents come from other countries. There are several processes leading to permanent residence in Canada, including Express Entry.

6

Family sponsorship

Family sponsorship is a Canadian government program that allows a citizen or permanent resident to bring certain family members to Canada to obtain permanent residency. It aims to promote family reunification, and the sponsor commits to providing for the basic needs of the sponsored person for a specified period.

7

Asylum application

An asylum claim is a formal procedure that allows a person in Canada to seek protection from the Canadian government when they fear persecution, torture, or a serious risk to their life or safety in their country of origin. It aims to provide humanitarian protection to individuals who cannot return to their country due to serious and personal threats.

8

CISR

The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) is an independent administrative tribunal, separate from the Canadian government, that makes decisions on matters related to immigration and refugee protection. It reviews asylum claims, immigration appeals, certain investigations and detentions, and challenges to decisions made by immigration authorities.

9

Investor

The Investor Program is a program created by the Canadian government or certain provinces that allows individuals with significant financial resources to obtain permanent residency by making substantial investments in the Canadian economy. It aims to attract experienced investors who can contribute to the country's economic development through structured financial contributions.
