OTHER CLASSES OF IMMIGRATION
Visit
Depending on the country an Applicant is from, they may need to
apply for a visiting visa. They must demonstrate certain
requirements to the Visa office, specifically that they will not over-
stay their visa and will leave prior to its expiration.
There are two types of temporary resident visas, namely single-
entry and multiple entry visas. Both types are for fixed periods of
time. A multiple-entry visa can be valid for up ten years or one
month prior to the expiry of the passport, whichever is earlier.
However, each visit cannot exceed 6 months. It will permit the
applicant to leave and enter Canada as many times as they like. A
single entry visa permits Applicants to enter Canada only once. If
there is no stamp, handwritten date or document in the Applicants
passport, then the visa is valid for six months from the date the
Applicant enters Canada.
Sponsor a member of the Family Class
Individuals who meet certain criteria may be eligible to sponsor their
spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner, dependent children
or other eligible relatives to become permanent residents of
Canada. As of November 2011 Citizenship and Immigration Canada
has paused accepting new applications for sponsorship of parents
for a period of twenty-four months. Instead, they have introduced
the parent and grandparent ‘super visa.’ The ‘super visa’ provides
visitors with longer periods to visit and multiple entries for up to ten
years.

IMMIGRATION APPEAL
If you have received a refusal of an immigration matter, our firm can
assist you to try to overturn the decision. Our lawyers appear before
the Immigration Appeal Division or the Federal Court of Canada to
represent Applicants in their appeals. Typically, the process has
rigorous timelines and requires strict compliance with procedural
and legislative guidelines.
Applicants who have had their immigration application refused may
seek a judicial review by challenging the decision before the
Federal Court of Canada, or seek an appeal before the
Immigration Appeal Division. Judicial reviews and appeals may be
sought for refusals of:
• Skilled worker application;
• Canada Experience Class application;
• Foreign temporary worker application;
• Family sponsorship application;
• Refugee claim; and
• A variety of temporary visas, including study permit, live-in
caregiver, work permit and other types of visas.
