Common Questions for Canadian Immigration Applicants
Canada offers several categories for those seeking temporary residence. Those include:
- Work Permits
Canada has many work permit categories in its International Mobility Program, including a range of Free Trade Agreements including CUSMA, and other work permit categories such as Significant Benefit, Reciprocal Employment, Intracompany Transfer, Francophone Mobility, IEC, Emergency Repair Workers, Television, Film & Performing Workers, Coaches & Athletes. We also have deep expertise in Labour Market Impact Assessment based work permits. Explore these options with our help. - Temporary Resident Visas (i.e. Visitor Visa)
Required for short visits to Canada, whether for business, tourism, digital nomads or family visits for citizens of visa-required countries. Our immigration lawyers in Toronto can help you apply for a Temporary Resident Visa. - Super Visas
For parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents, the Super Visa offers an excellent opportunity to reunite with family for extended periods. This visa allows for multiple entries and stays of up to two years per visit, providing flexibility and convenience for loved ones.
Study Permits & Post-Graduation Work Permit
International students wishing to study at designated learning institutes (DLIs) in Canada need a Study Permit. Let us help ensure your application meets all the requirements and upon graduation, we can assist in assessing your eligibility for a Post Graduate Work Permit or possible options for Permanent Residence.
For those looking to settle permanently, Canada provides several options.
- Spousal and Dependent Children Sponsorship
Canadian citizens or permanent residents can sponsor their spouse for permanent residence under the Spousal Sponsorship Program. Likewise, Canadian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their dependent children for permanent residence in Canada. - Express Entry
Through programs like the Federal Skilled Worker and Canadian Experience Class or Federal Skilled Trades. - Business Immigration
Entrepreneurs and investors can apply for permanent residence through the Start-up Visa Program or other business immigration streams. - Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
These programs allow provinces and territories to nominate individuals for permanent residence based on local needs.
Canadian Citizenship / PR Cards
Our team can assist with Canadian citizenship applications and PR card renewals, ensuring all requirements are met for a successful application.
Criminal Inadmissibility & Temporary Resident Permits (TRPs)
If you have a past criminal offence or another issue that makes you inadmissible to Canada, you may still be eligible for entry. Depending on your situation, you may qualify for a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP) or Criminal Rehabilitation, which can allow you to enter or remain in Canada legally.
Guberman // Appleby Immigration Lawyers can assess your circumstances and advise on the best path forward—whether that’s applying for a TRP, pursuing re

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.
