Our Permanent Residence Services
Permanent residence is not a one-size-fits-all process. Different immigration pathways come with different requirements, timelines, and risks.
Jasmin Sandhu Law’s permanent residence services can support you with:
- Permanent resident applications under multiple immigration programs
- PR cards, renewals, and replacements
- Family and spousal sponsorship
- Economic class immigration pathways
- Humanitarian and compassionate applications
- Appeals and refusals related to permanent residence
Each case is approached individually, with careful attention to your background, goals, and immigration history.
Options for Permanent Residence in Canada
Permanent residence allows you to build your life in Canada with long-term stability. As a permanent resident, you may:
- Live, work, and study anywhere in Canada
- Access most social benefits, including healthcare
- Be protected under Canadian laws and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms
- Apply for Canadian citizenship once eligible
Permanent residence is different from Canadian citizenship. Permanent residents cannot vote, run for political office, or hold certain high-security roles.
PR Sponsorship for Spouses or Family
PR sponsorship allows Canadian citizens and permanent residents to bring eligible family members to Canada.
This may include:
- Spousal or partner sponsorship
- Dependent children
- Parents or grandparents
PR sponsorship applications require careful preparation, accurate documentation, and ongoing compliance.
We guide you through each stage to help reunite your family as efficiently as possible.
Economic Class Permanent Residence
Economic class immigration programs are designed for individuals with skills or work experience needed in Canada. These pathways often involve competitive criteria and strict documentation requirements.
Common programs include:
- Skilled worker programs
- Trades programs
- Express Entry
- Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
An immigration lawyer for permanent residence can help you identify the strongest option and prepare a clear, well-supported PR application.
Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds
If you do not qualify under traditional immigration programs, you may still be eligible to apply for permanent residence on humanitarian and compassionate grounds.
These applications consider factors such as:
- Your establishment and ties in Canada
- Family relationships
- The best interests of any children involved
- Hardships you may face if required to leave Canada
Appeals and Refusals for Permanent Residence Applications
A refused PR application does not always mean your options are exhausted. Depending on the situation, Jasmin Sandhu Law may be able to:
- Appeal a decision to the Immigration Appeal Division
- Seek judicial review
- Submit a stronger re-application
We assist clients with appeals and refusals related to permanent residence and work toward the best possible outcome based on the facts of each case.
Help with PR Cards
A permanent residence card (PR card) is official proof of your status in Canada. PR cards are typically issued automatically when you first become a permanent resident. However, many situations require a separate application.
Applying for a Permanent Residence Card
You are entitled to apply for a permanent residence card if you meet the following criteria.
- You became a permanent resident before June 28, 2002
- You became a permanent resident after June 28, 2002, but never received a PR card
- You are applying for your first PR card after landing
We help ensure your application is complete and submitted correctly to avoid unnecessary delays.
PR Card Renewal and Replacement
PR cards expire and must be renewed to remain valid. You may need a PR card renewal or replacement if your card is:
- Expired or nearing expiry
- Lost or stolen
- Damaged or contains incorrect information
We recommend that all PR cardholders ensure that their card is valid and in their possession when travelling outside of Canada.
Re-entry may be delayed if you do not have the correct travel documents to re-enter Canada, which could impact your permanent resident status.
