Business Immigration

With today’s global economy and changing workforce, employers in Canada continue to face challenges in finding skilled labour. We can assist in helping to attract foreign workers and obtain the necessary work permits for them. We will work with employers and individuals to identify and execute the best immigration options.

Our lawyers have extensive experience in applying for all categories of temporary work permits and permanent residency available under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, North America Free Trade Agreement, General Agreement on Trade in Services, other international treaties and international programs such as the Study Work Abroad Program, Working Holiday Program and other professional exchanges. We assist employers with obtaining Labour Market Opinions, identifying exemptions for foreign workers and identifying intra-company transferee options.

We also assist in successful submission of applications through the BC Provincial Nominee Programs and similar programs in other jurisdictions across Canada and applications for Permanent Residency Status in the Skilled Worker Class.
