CANADA



1. What is a Canada Immigration Visa?

A Canada Immigration (Permanent Resident) Visa is a document which allows a person to live and work anywhere in Canada, and confers upon that person Permanent Resident status. It comes with certain responsibilities and may be revoked if the holder does not meet Canadian residency obligations, or is found guilty of serious criminal activity. A person who is a Canadian Permanent Resident may apply for Canadian Citizenship after 3 years.


2. How is a Work Permit different from a CanadaImmigration Visa?

A Work Permit allows an eligible visitor to reside and work in Canada for a limited period of time, and restrictions are usually placed on the type of employment which can be pursued. It will not, by itself, lead to Canadian Permanent Resident status. By contrast, a Canada Immigration Visa entitles its holder to live and work anywhere in Canada, enjoy many of the privileges of Canadian Citizenship, apply for Canadian Citizenship after 3 years and sponsor family members for Canadian Permanent Resident status.


3. Can I apply for Permanent Resident statusandTemporary status at the same time?

You can apply for Permanent Resident status and Temporary status at the same time. Canadian Immigration policy recognizes the concept of dual intent.


4. Is my current immigration status relevant for Canadian Immigration purposes?

Yes and no. You must submit your Canada Immigration Visa Application (Application for Permanent Residence in Canada) to the Canadian Immigration Visa Office responsible for the country of your citizenship or to the visa office responsible for the country you are currently residing in if you have been legally admitted to that country for at least one year.Canada immigration policy ignores an applicant's foreign immigration status as long as the applicant meets the requirements in the preceding paragraph. However, some Canada Immigration Applications have been refused on the grounds of criminal inadmissibility where the applicant has admitted to having knowingly violated the immigration laws of a foreign jurisdiction.


5. I have heard that Canada Immigration Regulations have changed. How will I be affected?

Canada immigration regulations, laws and policies are constantly subject to change. The effect of these changes will vary considerably from one applicant to another, depending on the particular circumstances.


6. Is there a benefit to using an attorney for immigration to Canada?

Yes, there is. Even though Citizenship and Immigration Canada permits you to submit a Canadian Immigration Visa Application on your own, statistically, your chances of succeeding are increased if a qualified Canadian immigration attorney represents you. Moreover, a perfected application will, in many cases, shorten the immigration process, allowing you to obtain your Canada Immigration Visa faster.


7. How do I retain Campbell, Cohen to represent me for Canadian Immigration purposes?

Generally, as a first step, we recommend that you complete our free assessment form so that I may determined your eligibility to immigrate to Canada under the Skilled Worker, Provincial Nomination, Family Sponsorship or Business categories.

Austrailia



Q: What is the difference between a 'Business Visitor' and a 'Sponsored Business Visitor'?

A: Very little. The only difference is that a Sponsored Business Visitor has an approved sponsor in Australia and is prepared to vouch for the applicant's purpose of visit and period of stay and lodge an application in Australia, on behalf of the applicant.



Q: Who is eligible to become a sponsor?

A: Australian State/Territory and Commonwealth Government agencies, as well as organisations specified by the Minister of Immigration, are able to provide formal sponsorship for individuals and business delegations intending short term business visits.



Q: Can Business Visitors lodge an application on their own behalf?

A: No. The application for a Sponsored Business Visitor must be lodged in Australia, by the sponsor. This provides sponsors with the opportunity to become more closely involved with the visa application process and to liaise with their local Business Centre in Australia.



Q: Is a sponsor able to offer sponsorship to more than one applicant?

A: Yes. A sponsor is able to sponsor more than one applicant at a time. If a sponsor wishes to sponsor more than one applicant, each applicant will need to complete a separate visa application form. The sponsor only needs to complete one sponsorship form and lodge this together with all the visa application forms.



Q: Can a sponsor offer sponsorship to an applicant who is already in Australia?

A: No. The applicant must be outside Australia at the time the application is lodged. However, the sponsor must lodge the application form and the sponsorship form in Australia.



Q: How long will the application take to process?

A: In order to ensure that applicants meet the relevant criteria for a specific visa, the time it takes to assess each application may vary. However, it is expected that a new application for an Australian government Sponsored Business Visitor Visa would take approximately 5 working days to process.
