STUDY PERMIT / WORK PERMIT / VISITOR RECORD REPLACEMENT
If you've misplaced, damaged, or had your legitimate temporary status document (such as a work permit, study permit, or visitor record) stolen, you have the option to request a replacement. It is essential to possess the original temporary status document along with a valid eTA or visa for entry into Canada. In the case of replacing a work permit or study permit, it is additionally required to provide a duplicate of your letter of employment or acceptance.
PR CARD RENEWAL / REPLACEMENT
Canadian Permanent Residents must possess a valid PR card for entry into the country through any commercial carrier, including planes, buses, trains, or boats. Not having a valid PR card may result in complications during customs processing in Canada. It is possible to renew PR cards in instances where they are lost, damaged, stolen, laminated, or deemed no longer acceptable.
LANDING DOCUMENT / COPR REPLACEMENT
Upon their initial landing, all permanent residents of Canada receive an IMM1000 document. This document is essential for applying for Canadian Pension and/or Old Age Security. Additionally, it may be necessary for passport renewal in certain countries. While the IMM1000 document is not mandatory for Canadian citizenship application, it must be presented at the citizenship oath ceremony to receive the required stamp.
ADMISSIBILITY HEARINGS AND DETENTION REVIEWS
Individuals can face inadmissibility or removal from Canada based on various grounds, including security concerns, human rights violations, serious criminality, organized criminality, health issues, financial reasons, misrepresentation, or failure to comply with the Act. In the event that a friend or relative is detained, you have the option to sign a bond to facilitate their release from custody. When a person is detained, a mandatory detention review must be conducted within 48 hours. Our legal representation is dedicated to clients who have been detained, responding promptly to ensure that detainees are not held longer than required. Our goal is to navigate the legal processes efficiently to secure the release of individuals facing detention.
PRE-REMOVAL RISK ASSESSMENT – PRRA
If you are facing removal from Canada, you may qualify to apply for a pre-removal risk assessment (PRRA). The eligibility determination is made by a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer, who will provide you with the necessary application form and guidance if you meet the criteria. The application for PRRA can be submitted before the actual removal from Canada. However, it's important to note that a 12-month waiting period typically applies under the following circumstances: 1. If you abandon or withdraw your refugee claim, or if the Immigration and Refugee Board rejects your claim. 2. If you abandon or withdraw another PRRA application, or if it is refused. 3. If the Federal Court rejects your attempt to have your refugee claim or PRRA decision reviewed. During this waiting period, individuals are generally not eligible to apply for a new PRRA. It's crucial to be aware of these conditions and timelines when considering or undergoing the PRRA process.
CANADIAN CITIZENSHIP APPLICATION
Canadian Permanent Residents must possess a valid PR card for entry into Canada through any commercial carrier, including planes, buses, trains, or boats. Failing to present a valid PR card may lead to complications during Canadian customs processing in the future. It's worth noting that PR cards can be renewed in cases where they are lost, damaged, stolen, laminated, or deemed no longer acceptable. It is advisable to ensure the timely renewal of PR cards to maintain smooth entry and compliance with immigration requirements.
