Immigration Law
Visiting or Immigrating to Canada
Immigration matters require a customized approach as there are many different ways to immigrate to Canada. Immigration can be intimidating and complicated, which is why it's crucial to take an informed approach. You can count on a measured, deliberate analysis of your immigration matter as you are guided every step of the way.
Family Sponsorship
Are you a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident? You may qualify to sponsor your spouse, common law or conjugal partner; dependent child; or parent to immigrate to Canada as a permanent resident. There are many requirements for both the sponsor and the applicant to qualify. Canada prides itself on the reunification of families in Canada. Let's work together to reunite your family in Canada!
Permanent Resident Card
Whether you're applying for your first permanent resident card, renewing it, or attempting to replace a lost card, I am here to help. All permanent residents must meet a residency requirement, but if you require renewal and have not met this requirement, there are still ways to accomplish your goals.
Visitor Visa
Planning to visit Canada for tourism, pleasure, or to visit family? Visitor visas allow individuals to visit Canada for up to 6 months. People from certain countries are visa-exempt, meaning they only need to apply for an eTA. If you're the parent or grandparent of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you may be able to visit for even longer. Immigration officers consider many different factors in determining whether to issue a visa. I can assist you in making a strong application to enter Canada.
Express Entry
One way of applying for permanent residence in Canada is through the express entry program. Express Entry works on a points system. Learn how to maximize your points and have the best possible chance of success, both at the initial stage and through to the final stage of the application.
Citizenship
Are you a permanent resident who now wants to become a citizen of Canada? Or a Canadian citizen who would like to pass citizenship on to their child. I have worked with clients who have a variety of challenges which could lead to their claim to citizenship being denied. The Law Office of Kristina Archer will assist you from the application process to the swearing-in ceremony.
Inadmissability
Do you have a criminal record in your country of origin? Have you been deported from Canada? Maybe a DUI/DWI is preventing you from entering Canada? With my background in criminal law, I can assist you in overcoming your inadmissibility and making your dreams of visiting or moving to Canada one step closer to reality.
