Expert's Guidance for Canadian Immigration and Citizenship
Canada offers multiple opportunities to individuals and families for a better future. Whether you want to apply for a visa, get permanent residence, or move toward Canadian citizenship, GBWS guides you through every step of the journey.
What is Canadian Immigration and Citizenship?
Canadian immigration refers to the legal process through which foreign nationals are authorized to enter, reside, work, or settle permanently in Canada through a program administered by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). It’s a legal status that confirms a person as a full member of the nation of Canada, providing complete rights and responsibilities under Canadian nationality law.Immigration and citizenship form a connected pathway together. The Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) sets the framework for how newcomers enter and reside in Canada, while the Canadian Citizenship Act defines the conditions under which permanent residents may be naturalized as citizens. GBWS guides clients through both, from the first visa application to the Citizenship Oath Ceremony.
Immigration Pathways and the Road to Canadian Citizenship
The IRCC program of immigration offers a wide range of immigration pathways in Canada, each specific to a range of backgrounds, skills, and long-term goals – and each, potentially, culminating in the award of permanent residence and, in the long term, Canadian citizenship.
Express Entry
Express Entry covers the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP), Federal Skilled Trades Program ( FSTP), and Canadian Experience Class (CEC). Applicants are ranked through the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). GBWS helps you to strengthen your CRS score and guides you seamlessly from the Express Entry pool to your citizenship application.
PN Program
The Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) allows each province to recruit skilled labour that meets the challenges of the specific regional labour market. GBWS will determine the most appropriate provincial stream to fit your background, assist you in the nomination process, and help you through the transition of permanent resident status to full Canadian citizenship status.
Family Sponsorship
Family Sponsorship allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to reunite with family members (spouses, dependent children, and parents through sponsorship of family members in need of a direct path to permanent residence and citizenship. GBWS also provides a guide on the Super Visa program to parents and grandparents who plan long-term visits.
Study & Work Permits
Study and Work Permits are often the gateway to a more extended Canadian immigration process. Foreign workers and international students acquire useful Canadian experience and develop eligibility for permanent residence via programs like the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), and gradually qualify to meet the residency criteria to become citizens.
Refugee Programs
IRPA under Refugee and Humanitarian Programs provides protection to people who are persecuted or in danger of severe persecution. Individuals with protected status can seek permanent residence and, over time, become eligible to be Canadian citizens. GBWS offers detailed instructions in each phase of this process.
Canadian Immigration and Citizenship Benefits
The decision to become a Canadian immigrant and work towards Canadian citizenship brings more benefits you have as you advance in your process. Being a permanent resident of Canada, you receive universal healthcare and elite education, a safe and prosperous job market, and secure multicultural neighborhoods in all corners of the country. As a Canadian, those benefits are even greater – you not only can vote in federal, provincial, and municipal elections, but you also have the right to own a Canadian passport and travel freely to more than 180 countries, you can move anywhere in Canada or elsewhere, and work freely. Canada also allows dual nationality, in which case you can retain your home country citizenship in addition to your Canadian citizenship.
Eligibility and Documents Required
The process of Canadian immigration requires the applicant to have a valid passport, to meet the language proficiency criteria by using IELTS, CELPIP, or TEF, an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA), and to prove financial stability without any conditions of criminal or medical inadmissibility according to IRPA. As soon as the applicants acquire permanent status and have been physically present in Canada at least 1,095 days in the past five years, have submitted the necessary income tax returns on at least three of these years, and have passed the citizenship knowledge test, with no removal orders or criminal proceedings outstanding against them, they may apply to obtain Canadian citizenship.GBWS will perform a complete eligibility assessment of the Canadian immigration and citizenship and assess the inadmissibility cases, as well as guide the rehabilitation or Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) applications as necessary before submitting the applicant to IRCC.
