Visiting Quebec

If you wish to visit the city of Montreal, here are some visa options that an immigration lawyer can suggest to you:

Visitor visa
Visitor visa extension
Super Visa

Please consult a legal expert who will help you determine the right option for your particular circumstances. During a visit to the country, it is recommended that you research your employment prospects and various investment opportunities, both in real estate and other sectors. Please note that the Canadian government encourages immigration from potential citizens who are likely to make a positive contribution to Canada.

Residence options

Regarding residence, since each city has its own regulations, it is important to consult an immigration lawyer to make sure the process goes off without a hitch. After a consultation, you will be informed about residence and the legislation that allows you to leave the country and return legally with peace of mind. Residence is a topic that raises many questions, which is why it is important to use our specialized services.

We will guide you step by step to make the best possible choices for your circumstances. Becoming a resident is entirely possible: you simply need to understand the requirements that govern this type of application.

Permanent residence

When you have the support of a team of legal experts, you can obtain your permanent residence more quickly and easily. Did you know that it is possible to submit a request based on humanitarian and compassionate (H&C) considerations as part of a residence application? Quebec and Canada as a whole support the needs of those who suffer injustice in this world. For these individuals, the challenge is to submit their residence application to the designated authorities and see it through successfully. With our support services, every piece of information in your application will be meticulously reviewed and supplemented.

Sponsorship

Some people may decide to immigrate to Canada for personal reasons and because they have family in the country. If this is the case, you can ask a relative to sponsor you as a prospective citizen. Our legal team can also work with your entire family to simplify the process for you.

To apply for sponsorship, your immediate family member will need to provide proof of citizenship and have sufficient funds to support you if necessary. Sponsorship also involves a number of rules, so it is important to consult one of our experts to ensure you are fully informed. Completing the residence application is only the first step in your process of admission to Canada.

Refusal of entry

In some cases, consulting an immigration lawyer is essential. Anyone denied entry to the country has rights. Let us assess your situation and develop a plan of action. An application for criminal rehabilitation or a temporary resident permit may be enough to secure your entry into the country.

Legal disputes and representation in court

Many immigration law procedures involve little more than paperwork and official notices. However, a hearing before a tribunal may be necessary. From quick appearances to cases that drag on over time, the team at Liverman Arrais is highly specialized in court proceedings. During our consultations, we will discuss your case and review the various issues that may arise during the process. You will always be informed of the different scenarios and options that could affect your status in the country.

We needed to speak to someone quickly about a landlord-tenant issue. Mr. Liverman made room in his schedule to speak with us in under two days.
