As one of the leading immigration lawyers in Canada, Nanda & Associate Lawyers has helped countless clients with their immigration over the last two decades. Since our founding in 2003, we have built up an excellent reputation in handling all immigration- related matters.
Whether it’s a permanent residency, an LMIA application, an immigration appeal, or a sponsorship application, reach out to our lawyers for expert guidance. Trust is at the forefront of everything we do, which is why we will be your top choice when choosing an immigration consultant. With our experienced legal team at your side, you will experience a smoother immigration process every step of the way.
How can our Immigration Lawyer help you?
Our immigration lawyers provide guidance at every stage of the process. We assist clients in preparing and submitting well-structured applications for work permits, study permits, permanent residency, sponsorships, and other immigration programs, ensuring that all requirements and documents are carefully addressed. In addition, we represent individuals who come to us after facing refusals or complications in their immigration journey, handling appeals, judicial reviews, and hearings with skill and dedication.
We focus on customized legal solutions that simplify complex procedures and increase your chances of success. Whether you are applying for the first time or challenging a refusal, our lawyers will guide you through Canada’s immigration system with clarity and dedication, helping you move closer to making your Canadian dream a reality.
We make immigration simple!
Just because you were denied once doesn’t imply you will be denied forever. If your application was denied, our expert lawyers can help you fight for your rights through appeals. We thoroughly look over your case, find the weak spots, and come up with a strong legal plan to fight arbitrary refusals. We will fight for you in front of the Immigration Appeal Division, the Federal Court, or any other court. Every detail counts when it comes to appeals, and they have a time limit.
A past mistake, medical condition, or misrepresentation shouldn’t permanently block your future in Canada. If you’ve been declared inadmissible, we provide strong legal strategies to overcome these barriers. Our immigration lawyers help with Temporary Resident Permits (TRP), Criminal & Medical Inadmissibility, Deportation, Removal Orders, and Authorisation to Return to Canada. We know how to prepare compelling submissions that highlight your circumstances and your right to a fair review.
Whether you want to secure visitor visas, work permits, or study permits, our immigration lawyers devise clear strategies to minimize errors. Every temporary visa has its own challenges, and we know how to prepare applications that satisfy immigration officers. With our support, you can enter Canada confidently, without unnecessary delays or denials. Later if you want to transition from temporary resident to permanent resident, we will make that pathway seamless too.
Your business needs the appropriate people, and our regulated immigration consultants and professional immigration lawyers can help you get them. Our corporate immigration team makes it easy and legal for businesses to attract qualified workers and investors to Canada. We help your organization navigate the complicated immigration rules that govern work permits, intra-company transfers, LMIA applications, and global mobility initiatives.
Becoming a permanent resident means security, opportunity, and a future for your family, but getting PR is competitive and complex. Our immigration lawyers guide you through Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs, family sponsorships, and humanitarian pathways. From profile creation to document preparation, we ensure your application is accurate, complete, and strategically positioned for success.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Express Entry?
Express Entry acts as a pool where eligible candidates submit their applications as ‘skilled workers’ with the hope of getting matched with a job requirement in Canada, selected based on their points, and then receiving an ‘Invitation to Apply.’ The Express Entry pool also allows Provinces in Canada to select candidates as per their requirements. If you are eligible for any one of these programs, then you can also apply via Express Entry meant for PNP programs. If you get nominated, your CRS score will receive 600 additional points, and then you can hope to receive an ITA soon.
What is the Provincial Nominee Program?
Every province in Canada has their respective immigration Provincial Nominee Program. They are designed for entrepreneurs and skilled workers who have the skills, education and work experience to meet the economic needs of a particular province or territory. Entrepreneurs are required to commit a certain amount of investment in that province. This program targets students, businesspeople, skilled workers and semi-skilled workers. Based on the highest ranking, the candidate will be selected by the province in each category.
How long does spousal sponsorship take in Canada?
Most spousal sponsorship applications take 10 to 12 months, but delays are usual because of missing papers or mistakes. Getting a lawyer or certified immigration consultant involved early will help you avoid, speed up refusals, speed up processing, and reduce stress.
What is an LMIA and why do I need one?
A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) is a document Canadian employers often need before hiring a foreign worker. It proves no Canadian or permanent resident is available for the job. LMIA applications are complex and strict and errors can lead to refusals or long delays. Consulting an immigration lawyer helps ensure the application is complete, compliant, and increases the chance of approval.
Can I enter Canada with a DUI record?
If you have a DUI registered to your name, then you may be inadmissible to Canada for serious criminality. However, there are ways to make yourself admissible again or enter Canada on a temporary basis. For example, you can apply for a Temporary Resident Permit or opt for Criminal Rehabilitation. You must connect with an experienced immigration lawyer who can help you with those criminal records.
I am a Canadian employer; how do I obtain an LMIA for a foreign worker?
Review your Requirements – You must check if your application is meeting specific conditions, like wage rate, job advertisement standards and business legitimacy. In addition, depending on the kind of LMIA, you may need to fulfill the conditions of having at least one employee and being at least a one-year-old business.
Apply via LMIA Online – You must use the secure LMIA Online portal, which requires a job bank for the employer’s account.
Submit Documents and fees as required.
Wait for Decision – ESDC will assess your application, and if all goes well, you will receive an LMIA certificate, allowing you to hire foreign nationals.
Who needs a TRP?
You may need a Temporary Resident Permit if you’re inadmissible to Canada due to:
Criminal inadmissibility: This covers past convictions, like DUI, theft, or drug offenses, especially if the sentence was completed less than five years ago.
Medical inadmissibility: Health conditions that may pose a public health risk or burden Canada’s healthcare system.
Other reasons include Security concerns, misrepresentation, or financial issues. A strong reason for entry, like attending a business meeting or visiting a sick family member, is required to justify the TRP.
What is the difference between the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) and the Federal Court?
The Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) is an administrative court that is part of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB). It hears appeals of some decisions made by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), such as when a spousal sponsorship is denied, a permanent resident is told to leave, or a residency obligation is not met.
The Federal Court, on the other hand, is a judicial court that looks into IAD, ID, or IRCC rulings to see if there were any legal mistakes, such unfair procedures or wrong application of the law. It does not look at the case’s merits again or accept fresh evidence.
