Common Questions for Canadian Immigration Applicants
Yes. Canadian immigration lawyers regularly assist clients whose applications have been refused. We will review the previously filed application and the refusal letter so that we can recommend next best steps to rectify the refusal.
A Canadian immigration lawyer has skills, expertise and experience in filing LMIA Application and work permits regularly. These applications require detailed legal analysis, compliance with immigration laws and regulations and expertise in filing requirements and strategies. While it is not a requirement, a Canadian immigration lawyer has great familiarity with these processes and stays abreast of changes to categories, programs and policies.
Canadian immigration lawyers assist individuals, families, professionals, entrepreneurs, and businesses with immigration matters across Canada. This includes temporary visas, permanent residence, inadmissibility issues, and complex cross-border cases.
A Canadian immigration lawyer evaluates eligibility, selects the most suitable immigration option, prepares supporting documentation and addresses legal requirements in support of the application.
Yes. Canadian immigration lawyers regularly handle inadmissibility matters related to criminal, medical, or misrepresentation issues. Legal expertise is essential in these cases, as outcomes depend on statutory interpretation and discretionary decision-making.

Common PR and Citizenship Questions
To maintain your permanent resident status, you must spend at least 730 days (2 years) in Canada within every 5-year period. Our team at Guberman // Appleby can help you track your days and plan your time in and outside of Canada to stay compliant.
You should apply to renew your PR card before it expires. The process involves proving that you’ve met your residency obligations and that you still have ties to Canada. We can help you prepare a strong renewal application, especially if you’ve spent extended time abroad.
You may be eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship once you’ve:
- Been physically present in Canada for 1,095 days in the past 5 years,
- Filed your Canadian taxes, and
- Met language and knowledge requirements.
Our immigration lawyers can guide you through the citizenship application process, prepare supporting documents, and get you ready for the interview.
Each province in Canada offers unique settlement supports and immigration streams. For example, the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) allows Ontario to nominate individuals with skills and experience needed in the province’s labour market.
If you came to Canada through a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), your pathway to citizenship may include additional integration steps or regional commitments. From arrival to citizenship, our legal team ensures you stay informed, compliant, and fully supported at every stage.
