If you’re thinking about immigrating to Canada, chances are you have a million questions—and maybe no clear answers.
That’s where we come in.
Here are the most frequently asked immigration questions we hear from clients—and our answers to help you get started with confidence:
1. What’s the fastest way to immigrate to Canada?
For skilled workers, the fastest route is often Express Entry, particularly under the Canadian Experience Class or Federal Skilled Worker Program. If you qualify, you could become a permanent resident in as little as 6–8 months.
But speed depends on:
Your language test scores
Work experience
Age and education
Whether you have a job offer or provincial nomination
Not everyone qualifies - but we can help you find the fastest path based on your background.
2. How much money do I need?
This depends on your immigration stream:
Express Entry typically requires proof of settlement funds, unless you’re applying from within Canada with a job offer.
Study permit applicants must show they can pay tuition and living expenses.
Spousal sponsorship has no minimum income, but parent/grandparent sponsorship does.
We break down exactly what’s needed and help you prepare clean, credible financial documentation.
3. Can I bring my family with me?
Yes! Most immigration streams allow you to include your spouse and dependent children. Even student visa and work permit holders can usually bring spouses and children under specific conditions.
In other cases, you may be able to sponsor family members later through a separate application.
4. I was refused - what now?
Don’t panic. We start by reviewing your refusal letter, which will explain (sometimes vaguely) why your application was denied. From there, we help you:
Strengthen your documents and reasoning
Respond to procedural fairness letters
File appeals or reapply strategically
5. Do I really need an immigration lawyer?
Technically, no - you can apply on your own. But immigration law is complex, constantly changing, and very unforgiving when mistakes are made.
Our clients often tell us, “I wish I’d come to you first.” Working with a legal team can:
Save time
Reduce stress
Avoid costly refusals and reapplications
At our firm, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all immigration. Every person has a unique story, and every application needs a strategy tailored to their goals.
