IMMIGRATION

Canada is one of the best countries in the world to live and work in, with many paths to achieving immigration., Because each immigrant's journey is unique, R.L.A. Immigration Consulting offers individualized services and support to guide applicants through what can be a daunting and often complex process. Our approach is both pro-active and immediate, incorporating future considerations and current needs, based on your unique circumstances. We are detail-focused, with a thorough understanding of Canada's immigration laws/policies and the implications for individuals and families.


Each of the following programs has its own eligibility requirements, and you must complete an online profile to apply through Express Entry.


Express Entry :

Express Entry is an online system that manages applications for permanent residence from skilled workers. Express Entry is used to manage applications for permanent residence under these federal economic programs.

Express Entry uses the National Occupational Classification (NOC) system to evaluate and categorize jobs. The NOC system classifies jobs based on their skill level and type. The tiers include:

  • Tier 0: Management jobs
  • Tier 1: Jobs that usually require a university degree
  • Tier 2: Jobs that usually require a college diploma, apprenticeship training of 2 or more years, or supervisory occupations
  • Tier 3: Jobs that usually require a college diploma, apprenticeship training of less than 2 years, or more than 6 months of on-the-job training

There are three categories in Express Entry:

  • Federal Skilled Work
  • Federal Skilled Trades
  • Canadian Experience Class
family

FAMILY SPONSORSHIP

The Canadian government recognizes that families wish to stay together and has several ways for citizens and permanent residents (over 18 years of age) to sponsor loved ones from abroad.


Family Class Sponsorship programs include:

  • Spousal and Family Sponsorship
- allows Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner to become permanent residents.

  • Dependent Child Sponsorship - allows Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor dependent (both natural and adopted) children to become permanent residents.

  • Parent and Grandparent Sponsorship
- allows Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor their parents/grandparents to become permanent residents.

  • Super Visa
- allows parents/grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to come to Canada for up to 5 years.

  • Provincial Nominee Programs
- Some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) offer Family Sponsorship programs that may be easier to qualify for than the Federal Family Class category of immigration.

VISITING/TEMPORARY IMMIGRATION

Are you planning to travel to Canada to visit family, as a tourist, an international student, or a temporary foreign worker? Are you unsure of the application type for your specific purposes? We can help. From providing initial consultations to assisting with Temporary Resident Visas (TRV), electronic Travel Authorizations (eTA), or other documents, R. L. A. Immigration Consulting will ensure your visit to Canada is a smooth process.


There are two types of authorizations required for a visit to Canada:


Temporary Resident Visa (TRV): Everyone - except visitors from visa-exempt countries - who enters Canada on a temporary basis must apply for and receive a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV), also known as a Visitor or Tourist Visa.


Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA): Required for applicants from visa-exempt countries. There are exemptions: i.e., citizens of the USA, transit visa holders from certain countries.


R. L. A. Immigration Consulting can assist you with determining the right type of application, duration for the intended stay, and the best way to apply for the visa.

STUDYING

Canada's education system is consistently ranked one of the best in the world, including its extensive and renowned list of universities, colleges, and other specialized learning institutions. Canadian graduates (and post-graduates) are in demand both globally and domestically, working in every field and profession. Canada offers reasonable tuition fees, a safe and comfortable standard of living, and a dynamic, multi-cultural population.


Our consultants help students with school selection, registration, and obtaining the required acceptance confirmation, as well as applying for a Canadian Study Permit. We also assist with working-while-studying options, co-op work permits, post-graduate work permits, and temporary residence applications for accompanying family members.


Students have many advantages in Canada:

  • They can work part-time while in school and full-time during scheduled breaks.

  • After completing the program, they can then apply for a post-graduate open work permit which allows them to work full-time and gain Canadian work experience.

  • They can bring their spouse to Canada on an open work permit.

  • They can eventually apply for PR through various programs dedicated to students.
