Immigration to Canada

Immigration to Canada is one of the most popular requests of clients who turn to lawyers in the field of immigration law. If you are also interested in legal support in such matters, the team of the “Prikhodko & Partners” law office is ready to provide quality assistance. We regularly accompany such cases and know well how to achieve the desired result, bypass pitfalls and avoid failures. Although the CUAET immigration program, which was designed for Ukrainians, has ended, there are still other opportunities for Ukrainian citizens to immigrate to Canada. Providing consulting services to our clients, we talk about this in detail and offer those immigration options that may be promising in your particular situation. Let’s look at some options in more detail.

Which visa to Canada is the most popular?

When it comes to the Canadian visa, the variety that is aimed at family reunification is in the greatest demand. On the basis of such a visa, you will be able to go to Canada to live there with your relatives who already live in this country.

We are often asked whether relatives should be Canadian citizens in such a case. No, this is not the only possible option. A family reunification visa is also available if your relatives in Canada have a permanent residence permit – that is, they live in this country legally.

Another question we are asked during counseling concerns which relatives you can go to when applying for a family reunification visa. So, this opportunity is available when you travel to:

• full brothers or sisters;
• parents;
• husband or wife;
• children.

Thus, the legal mechanism for issuing a visa to Canada on the basis of family reunification is thought out carefully enough. However, using it without proper legal support can be difficult.

What difficulties does the applicant face?

One of the biggest problems is collecting a large package of documents and checking them in detail. We have been repeatedly approached by clients who tried to collect documents and fill out an application on their own, but were refused, despite the fact that their circumstances allowed them to apply for a visa. When you take care of professional legal support in advance, you can prevent such a problem. Experts in migration law, who regularly accompany such cases, know how to correctly collect a package of documents and fill out an application. You will also hear detailed recommendations for passing the interview.

Despite the fact that you may have relatives from the above list living in Canada, their mere presence is often not a convincing argument when communicating with a consular institution. Another thing is when your relatives sent you an invitation. It is a more reliable basis for the consul to understand that family reunification is indeed the real purpose for which you are applying for a visa.

What is important to pay attention to?

When a certain person is going to come to the country for permanent residence, great attention is paid to researching his financial situation. This is completely justified, because representatives of the consulate want to make sure that a person will be able to support himself during his stay in their country.

With this in mind, it is important to pay attention to documents certifying financial status. These can be bank statements, work certificates, property documents and additional financial income of the applicant. Such documents can also be submitted for relatives who are waiting for you, if they are ready to provide them together with the invitation. This will show that you have people in Canada who are able to provide financial assistance in case of unforeseen difficulties.
