* We expect that at this point
you know enough about Canada to decide if you have serious interest to explore
practical steps. Basic information for prospective clients is in our
"About Canada" section. (We are offering you the chance to start
building a new life in a leading prosperous country, not just a new place of
residence. Here you can find: economic prosperity, safety, education
opportunities, ... and don't forget - to achieve all that - a lot of hard work
is usually required :-)

* Choose Your Way™ - our clients
have enjoyed our professional guidance system for the most efficient and proper
selection of programs for you, based on main differentiating factors. Please
remember: Canada's selection system accepts only candidates who satisfy a
specific selection system and our mission is to provide professional services
helping people to qualify and immigrate in accordance with those requirements. |

Independent
class
(economic migrants)
has three main sub-groups:
a) Skilled
workers - for those who have good education, work experience, financial
resources (*provincial nominees - part of this group)
b) Business immigrants
- for those who have experience of running their own business successfully and
have strong financial position (self-employed, enterpreneurs, investors)
c) Assisted relatives
- if you have relatives in Canada, and qualify in a) or b) above.

Family class
- use our special program Family - reunite
! ™ -
most of our clients' families can reunite in Canada within 6
months. **You must have a Canadian sponsor (a citizen or a landed
immigrant) who is your close relative and can sponsor you, by fulfilling
certain financial criteria. Sponsorship can be signed only for the following
relatives: a spouse (husband or wife), children under 19 years, or if over 19 -
those who are full - time students (or disabled) and still dependent on
sponsor's support, never married; a fiance (bride or bridegroom); parents,
grandparents.. or one other relative if the sponsor has nobody in Canada.
***The term "sponsorship" is used often in different situations and
meanings, however for a practical purpose you should accept that the true legal
meaning of it is applicable only for family class relatives. If you are
sponsored, you don't have to prove any special education, skills, knowledge of
English and French or financial resources to receive the landed immigrant
status. You still have to prove that genuine relationship with your sponsor
exists and (with rare exceptions) must prove that you both (together with the
sponsor) will be able to live in Canada without any government (social)
assistance.

Refugee class
-
we provide legal professional support for Canadian programs that give shelter
for convention refugee applicants, those who cannot return to their home
country because of fear of persecution. Over 20,000 people each year are landed
on this program in Canada.

* Temporary visits, working and studying in Canada
- this category is not part of the official immigration process. These programs
can be used to exlore Canada, study or work here, make the first step towards
deciding to immigrate. **it's important to know - only those who can prove that
their plan is to return back to one's home country can be issued a temporary
visitor visa. It's much easier to receive this visa at the port of entry
(airport) for citizens of those countries that are not required to apply at the
Embassy or consulate. The selection procedure at the consulate is more
difficult. |
|
* Other programs - very unlikely they will help
you, since less then 1% of applicants, usualy as an exception to the rule, can
use them. The secret magic solutions to get to Canada and resolve the life's
problems is mostly a fairy tale or attempt by some unethical and
not-professional people to take your money and not deliver as promised. Yet -
so many less fortunate applicants still believe in "magic solutions",
just like people beleive in winning lottery or in casino. Heh, part of the
human nature. We decided to provide more details on those programs that apply
for very small number of candidates, so you can fully review all the options
and let us provide proper advice which way is the best for your
situation. **Best known among them is the "humanitarian and
compassionate grounds" application. While in theory those grounds
can be used to issue a landed immigrant visa at a Canadian visa office abroad,
they almost never do so. More practically it is used by those who are in Canada long
term (usually more then 3 years, legally or not), have fully
established themselves economically and socially (usually after several years
of working as refugee claimants), speak at least good English or French, have
numerous supporting letters of reference from employers, friends, community,
churches; would have serious difficulties if forced to apply as indepentents
outside of Canada. We have successful cases in this program, however we use it
only as last resort for those who are in Canada long term.
