Paving the way to your Canadian Permanent Residence

Our firm can help you assess the available options for applying to one of Canada's immigration programs. If you are not eligible at the time, we are able to advise on ways to increase your eligibility and prepare for the road to Canadian permanent residency.

Study Permit

We advise our clients to plan in advance for their studies in Canada and get ahead by understanding how immigration timelines and rules can impact your prospects in the future.

Often, studying in Canada is the first step to successfully settling in Canada. However, if you pursue studies with the ultimate goal of immigrating to Canada, we highly recommend that you speak to one of our lawyers so you can make an informed decision and manage your short-term and long-term needs.

MCA LAW advises and represents clients in immigration proceedings to apply for a study permit, an extension or restoration of status.

Employer-sponsored applications

Due to Canadian labor shortages some employers must recruit foreign workers to fill job positions within certain occupations. There are different processes to hire a foreign worker. Our firm can help employers assess which route is best to follow and can assist in preparing an employer's application for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) and applications under one of the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).

Permanent Resident card renewal and Canadian Citizenship application

We can prepare your application for Canadian citizenship.
