Application types I support
Navigating Canadian immigration from inside Canada is high-stakes — a missed deadline, a gap in status, or a weak application can set you back months or years. I work with temporary residents and their families to protect their status, plan their next step, and build the strongest possible application at every stage.
Whether you need a study permit, an extension, a post-graduation work permit, or you're ready to pursue permanent residence through Express Entry, a Provincial Nominee Program, or through the Family Class — every case is handled personally.
For Students
Study permits
A study permit is an evidence-based application — you need to persuade an immigration officer that you have a genuine purpose of study, sufficient financial support, and strong ties to your home country. I prepare first-time applications, after-refusal applications, and study permit extensions with clear legal strategy, thorough documentation, and written submissions that address officer concerns directly.

Post-graduation work permit
The PGWP allows eligible graduates of Canadian designated learning institutions to work in Canada after completing their studies. Eligibility depends on program length, institution type, field of study, language skill level, completion timing, and status maintenance throughout your studies. I handle straightforward applications as well as complex situations involving part-time study, program changes, gaps in status, or approaching deadlines.

Visitor visas
Temporary Resident Visas (TRV) are required for citizens of visa-required countries entering Canada. Whether you are applying from abroad, extending a visit from inside Canada, or reapplying after a previous refusal, I build your application around a clear demonstration of purpose, financial support, and ties to your home country.

Express Entry
Express Entry is Canada's primary system for managing applications for permanent residence under three federal economic programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), and the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP). Candidates are ranked using the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) and receive invitations to apply based on their score. Beyond general draws, IRCC also conducts category-based invitation rounds that prioritize candidates in specific fields — including health care, education, skilled trades, STEM, transport, French-language speakers, and medical doctors or researchers with Canadian work experience.

Provincial Nominee Programs
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) are Canada's second-largest pathway to permanent residence. There are over 80 active PNP streams across the country, each operated independently by a province or territory with its own eligibility criteria targeting specific occupations and labour market needs. A nomination adds 600 points to your CRS score — effectively guaranteeing an invitation to apply in the next draw.

Family sponsorship
Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their spouse, common-law partner, conjugal partner, dependent children, parents, and grandparents for permanent residence. I handle both inland and outland applications, preparing the sponsorship application, the PR application, and all supporting documentation — including relationship evidence packages for spousal and partner cases.
