Our Recent Immigration Success Stories

At Bellissimo Immigration Law Group PC, we are privileged to work on behalf of many wonderful people, companies and associations. We represent immigration applicants from far outside Canada, from the time they step foot into the country’s airport waiting rooms all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Our immigration clients often tell us after their case is concluded that it would have helped to know of similar stories that are real and not just what you hear on the street. So every month, we post a few stories to celebrate our immigration success stories and offer some comfort to those who will soon embark on a similar journey…

Application for Judicial Review Allowed

Prior to retaining our office, our client had requested Canada Border Services Agency to defer his removal from Canada, which was refused and an Application for Leave (“AFL”) and for a Judicial Review was filed. Once the AFL was allowed, we were contacted to assist with the Judicial Review hearing before the Federal Court. Our team reviewed the extensive record and did additional case law research in preparation for the hearing. We presented our oral arguments and learned shortly after that the Judge agreed with our position, allowing the Judicial Review. We are pleased that we were able to assist our client achieve such a great result and wish him all the best in his future endeavours.

Joint Recommendation at the IAD allows our client to stay in Canada

Our client first came to us many years ago to assist with his hearings before the Immigration Division (“ID”) and the Immigration Appeal Division (“IAD”) of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (“IRB”). At that time, his removal from Canada was stayed for a set period of time and enforceable conditions were imposed on our client in order for him to remain in Canada.
Once ready for the redetermination of his removal order appeal, the client contacted us again to assist him with his matter before the IAD. We prepared our client and his witnesses extensively prior to the hearing and submitted a documentary disclosure in support of his appeal.
We are thrilled that we were able to come to a joint recommendation with Minister’s Counsel to extend our client’s stay of removal for an additional two years. We wish our client the best as he continues to build his life in Canada!

Our client sought our help following the refusal of his application to Sponsor his Parents for Permanent Residence (PR), after an Officer determined that he failed to meet the minimum necessary income requirement. In support of his matter and in preparation for the hearing, we prepared a comprehensive documentary disclosure and conducted extensive client interviews.

On the date of the hearing, after testimony from our client, the Minister agreed to a joint recommendation to allow the appeal on humanitarian and compassionate grounds. The Member agreed, rendering a decision on the spot to allow the appeal. We are very pleased that we were able to assist our client in obtaining permanent resident status for his parents in Canada!

Our office is currently retained to assist a Canadian employer bring foreign workers to deal with the ongoing labour shortage in the Canadian mining industry. Upon receiving a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), we continued working closely with the employer and foreign workers in preparing their work permit applications.
