Our Recent Immigration Success Stories

Spousal Sponsorship Approved Against the Odds

Our office was retained to assist a couple with a spousal sponsorship application. The applicant’s complex immigration history and prior admissibility concerns presented unique challenges. However, with her entire family residing in Canada and having built a meaningful life here over several years, we were able to submit a compelling application. We emphasized her strong humanitarian and compassionate considerations, which were key to the case.

Thanks to the diligent research, thorough preparation, and dedication of our team, her application was approved. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our client and wish her and her family all the best as they embark on this exciting new chapter together!

Rapid TRV Approval: Parents Granted Entry to Support Recovery

A client approached us seeking Temporary Resident Visas (TRVs) for her parents, as she required urgent and critical post-surgical care. Her parents had never traveled internationally before and had limited financial resources, which added complexity to the case.

To maximize the chances of approval, our legal team worked closely with the clients, ensuring every aspect of the application was meticulously prepared and tailored to their unique circumstances. We went beyond the standard forms and documents, providing extensive evidence from both the host and the applicants. Additionally, we crafted detailed legal submissions explaining the unique purpose of travel and the time-sensitive nature of the request. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, we also requested expedited processing.

We are pleased to share that the TRV applications were approved within two weeks, enabling the client’s parents to travel to Canada and provide the support she needed during this critical time.

Complex PR Application Approved After Addressing IRCC’s Excessive Demand Concerns

As the end of 2024 approached, we were thrilled to learn that our client’s application for permanent residence was approved, despite IRCC’s concerns about her kidney condition. IRCC had initially estimated that a transplant or dialysis could be required in Canada within the next five years, with potential costs ranging from $300,000 to $500,000.

We collaborated closely with the family and a medical specialist to assess the actual likelihood of such treatment being needed and developed a plan to mitigate these potential costs. Our submissions focused on whether the client’s specific medical circumstances made it reasonably likely she would require the services IRCC deemed excessive.

By presenting compelling evidence alongside her personal story and unique circumstances, we successfully addressed IRCC’s concerns and helped her overcome the initial medical inadmissibility finding.

Overcoming Challenges: LMIA-Based Work Permit Approved Despite Complex Immigration History

Our office was retained by a client seeking an LMIA-based work permit. His case was particularly complex, as he had a lengthy immigration history that included studying in Canada without completing his degree, working without authorization, and several previous application refusals.

As part of our meticulous approach, we ordered ATIP records to better understand the details of his prior applications. However, obtaining these records took over eight months. The client initially wanted to proceed with the application before receiving the ATIP records to avoid the risk of his LMIA expiring. We advised him of the potential risks of applying without fully addressing the issues raised in his prior refusals. After careful consideration, he decided to wait for the records.

While waiting for the ATIP records, we diligently prepared his application to ensure it was ready for submission. Fortunately, we received the records two months before the LMIA’s expiry. We thoroughly reviewed the records and updated the application package accordingly, ensuring his immigration history was fully disclosed, all mandatory documents were included, and the forms were accurately completed. Additionally, we crafted a comprehensive legal submission addressing the concerns raised in his previous refusals.

We submitted the application before the LMIA expired, and it was approved within just two weeks. This outcome was particularly rewarding given the challenges involved. We are delighted to have achieved such a positive result and wish our client continued success in his endeavors.
