Our Recent Immigration Success Stories

A Case of Mild Autism

We are pleased to have recently assisted our clients with a difficult case whose son was denied permanent resident status to Canada for medical inadmissibility reasons. It was determined by Citizenship and Immigration Canada initially that he required special education services and therefore would be an excessive demand on the Canadian healthcare system.

When we examined the case and reasons for concern, we were able to clearly establish that the diagnosis and extent of his social service requirements was misinterpreted. We were able to prove that the client was not in fact an excessive demand using expert medical opinion and financial calculations to the medical burden our client would be on the educational and healthcare system. We handle so many medical cases each month and we share in the emotional struggle with our clients and when all our hard work and diligence results in a huge obstacle being overcome and the dream to make Canada home realized – all we can say is way to go team!

A Case of Permanent Residence

We recently were able to procure a permanent residence visa under the Federal Skilled Worker category for a client who was affected by the change of procedures in November 2008, when the Ministerial instructions came into effect. In this case, additional submissions were required to ensure that our client was being processed according to the right stream.

Fortunately, our submissions were successful and our client is now a happy permanent resident!

Refugee Success

A woman who fled to Canada after suffering years of domestic violence, was granted the status of a Convention Refugee today. After genuine and credible testimony as to her fear of return and the practical ability to seek state protection for a woman in a ‘visiting relationship,’ the Board Member accepted that her life would be at risk should she return to her country.

Our client will soon be applying for permanent residence, and will finally be reunited with the  children that she was forced to leave behind.

Medical Inadmissibilty

We were recently successful in assisting our clients’ application for permanent residence. One of the applicants had a condition that would render s/he medically inadmissible.  It was initially determined by Citizenship and Immigration Canada that the cost of medication would be too high and too great of a demand on the Canadian healthcare system. We challenged this finding through our specialized medical legal submissions, and we were able to convince the Minister that the family would not cause any such excessive demand based on their particular circumstances.
