Study in Canada

To come to Canada as a student, you must first obtain a letter of acceptance from an educational institution in Canada. Secondly, you must obtain a study permit from Citizenship and Immigration Canada. Raphaëla is competent to help you in your efforts to obtain a letter of acceptance and a study permit. Regarding tuition fees in Canada, consult the following websites:

Visit Canada

If you would like to visit Canada as a tourist or visit a friend or family members in Canada, Raphaëla can help you in the process of obtaining a visitor visa.

Asylum

If you are in Canada without status or with a visitor or student status, and you cannot return to your country of citizenship or residence because you would face persecution or inhuman or degrading treatments, and that the law enforcement cannot protect you, you have the option of asking for Canada’s protection.

Permanent Residence for Humanitarian Reasons

If you reside in Canada without status or with a student status, with temporary resident status or with temporary worker status, you may apply for permanent residence on humanitarian grounds if you are able to demonstrate humanitarian and compassionate grounds. Humanitarian grounds may relate to the best interests of a child living in Canada. Humanitarian grounds also relate to the excessive burdens you may face if you return to your country of citizenship or residence. Other factors could also be an asset in connection with such a request, for example, your integration into the Canadian society.

Temporary Residence Permit

If you are without status in Canada or if you are inadmissible, you may apply for a temporary residence permit. To obtain this kind of status, you have to demonstrate compelling reasons for staying in Canada temporarily.

Sponsorship of a Family Member

The purpose of sponsorship is to enable a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to sponsor family member (s) to Canada and enable them to acquire permanent residence. By law, a permanent resident or a Canadian citizen can sponsor notably the following people: your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner; your dependent child; your father, mother, grandfather or grandmother; your brother, sister, nephew, niece, grandson or granddaughter, orphan of father and mother, under the age of 18, unmarried or common-law partner; a child to adopt.

Deportation (Fighting Removals)

The pre-deportation procedures, or even applying for an entry permit to Canada, can be stressful and agonizing, and that’s why it would be nice to have a legal professional by your side. Raphaëla is competent to defend your case before Immigration Canada or before the competent authorities. She is competent to deal with the following subjects: authorization to return to Canada; criminal rehabilitation; detention review hearing; pre-removal risk assessment; deferral of removal request; suspension of the stay of removal motion.

Application for Canadian Citizenship

Obtaining Canadian citizenship is undoubtedly an important step in your Canadian dream. Raphaëla is competent to help you through the process of obtaining citizenship. She also handles citizenship appeals.

Appeal

The appeal procedure allows you to challenge the decision of a first instance authority to a higher instance. To challenge a decision in a higher court, you must not only highlight the reasons why you think the decision is not correct or unreasonable, but you must support your positions and arguments by rules of law.

Featured Testimonials

I received a positive response to my asylum claim in Canada thanks to the excellent work of my lawyer, Raphaëla. She worked closely with me to write my narrative, build my case, and prepare my testimony before the Refugee Protection Division (RPD). She always responded promptly to all my phone calls and texts. I would recommend Raphaëla’s services 100%.

Jean-François

My wife and I submitted our Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) application to Raphaëla. A negative PRRA response could have resulted in our deportation from Canada, but Raphaëla quickly reassured us and took over our case. She wrote a strong brief on our behalf and presented a good case, which led the examiner to conclude that we would be in danger if we were deported to our country of citizenship. I have no hesitation in recommending the services of this lawyer.

Michael and Jane

After completing my studies in Canada, I applied for a work permit to gain work experience in Canada. My application for a work permit was rejected even though I had a job offer. I was therefore referred to Raphaëla. She advised me to appeal the decision to the Federal Court. I gave her the appeal file and she argued on my behalf before the Court, which led the government lawyer to reach a settlement in my favour. I consider her to be a competent lawyer.

Stacey

I entrusted Raphaëla to work on the sponsorship file of my wife who lives outside of Canada. I wanted my wife to join me in Canada as soon as possible and I wanted a competent lawyer to represent me before Immigration Canada for this sponsorship application. I was not disappointed to have Raphaëla by my side. She was very attentive to all my concerns and put together my file very well. I really appreciated the regular updates she gave me, as well as the follow-ups with Immigration Canada.

Martin

I am a businessman and I wanted to develop my venture in Canada. I was looking for a Canadian lawyer who could help me immigrate to Canada as an entrepreneur with my wife and children. A Canadian friend recommended Raphaëla to me. She gave me clear information on the Canadian immigration procedure and the admission criteria. I decided to entrust her with my immigration file, and I am satisfied with the result, as I am now in Canada with my family.
