For Applicants in Canada

If you are already in Canada and looking to extend your stay, change your status, or apply for permanent residency, I am here to help you navigate the complexities of the Canadian immigration system. Whether you’re a temporary resident, international student, or work permit holder, I’ll provide you with the personalized support you need to achieve your goals.

How I Can Help You

Being inside Canada presents unique opportunities for immigration, and I specialize in guiding applicants through the various pathways available for individuals already living here. Whether you are looking to transition from temporary status to permanent residency or seek ways to extend your stay, I’ll ensure that you explore the best options for your situation.

Immigration Pathways for Applicants Inside Canada

1. Transitioning from Temporary to Permanent Residency

If you’re on a work permit, study permit, or visitor visa, Canada offers several pathways for you to transition to permanent residency:

• Canadian Experience Class (CEC) – For individuals who have gained work experience in Canada on a temporary basis.

• Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) – Many provinces offer pathways for individuals already residing in Canada. I can help you explore opportunities like the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) or other provincial streams.

• Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) – For skilled workers who want to apply for permanent residency through Express Entry.

• Spousal/Common-law Sponsorship – If you’re married or in a common-law relationship with a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, I can help you navigate the spousal sponsorship process.

2. Extending Your Stay

If your permit or visa is expiring soon, I can help you understand how to extend your stay in Canada and ensure you maintain your legal status:

• Work Permit Extension – Assistance with extending your work permit if you wish to continue working in Canada.

• Study Permit Extension – Guidance on how to extend your study permit if you’re continuing your education.

• Visitor Visa Extension – For those who want to extend their stay as a visitor in Canada.

3. Changing Your Status

If you need to change your status (e.g., from a visitor to a worker, or from a student to a worker), I can help you navigate the process and ensure you are in compliance with Canadian immigration laws:

• Study to Work Permit – If you’ve completed your studies in Canada, I’ll assist you in applying for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).

• Visitor to Work Permit – If you’re visiting and find a job in Canada, I’ll explain your options.

4. Express Entry for Applicants Inside Canada

If you’re already in Canada and have experience working here, the Canadian Experience Class under Express Entry could be an excellent option for you to obtain permanent residency. I’ll assist you in improving your CRS score, submitting your Express Entry profile, and preparing your application for permanent residency.
