-Temporary WorkerBecause of our background and knowledge of the Canadian Immigration system, our success rate for permanent residence applications is very high. We do not entertain applications that in our view, clearly will not succeed.
We also assist individuals who seek temporary entry to Canada to work, study or simply visit. In particular, the increasing demands of the Canadian labour market mandate the importance of skilled workers from foreign countries. We can assist employers through our knowledge of the methods by which foreign nationals can enter Canada to take employment.

Classes of ImmigrantsThere are several categories under which individuals may apply for permanent residence to Canada:
I.Skilled Workers includes persons who qualify under a point system of immigration selection based primarily on education and work experience that are deemed to benefit the Canadian economy.
II.Provincial Nominee Class are persons who have a specific skill or business which is in high demand for a particular Province and are nominated because of their specific skill under a Provincial Nomination agreement between the Province and the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration.
III.Economic Class immigrants are considered against modified selection criteria. There are separate requirements for entrepreneurs, investors, and self-employed persons.
IV.Family Class immigrants are those persons who are immediate family members (i.e. common-law spouses, same sex spouses, spouses, unmarried dependent children, parents, grandparents, or siblings under 22 years of age and unmarried) of Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
V.Retirees are not a recognized class of immigrants, but immigration strategies can be developed to assist their entry into Canada depending on their personal backgrounds.
VI.Refugees are accepted on the basis of Canada's commitment to protection of persecuted peoples pursuant to its obligations as a signatory to the United Nations Convention on Refugees.

Medical and Criminal Clearance
All immigration applicants and their dependent family members must undergo an immigration medical examination to ensure that no member of the family is likely to be a danger to public health or public safety or cause excessive demands on the health or social services in Canada. If any member of the family is found to be medically inadmissible to Canada, the entire family will be refused on medical grounds.
