Immigration Lawyer
Lawyers can also prepare immigration applications (permanent residence, sponsorship, asylum, etc.). However, not all lawyers have acquired specialized academic training in immigration law, or simply choose not to practice in this specific field.
In contrast to consultants, lawyers can represent clients before higher courts in the judicial system, which are often the final recourse for an immigrant. This includes, for example, a judicial review before the Federal Court. Notably, both consultants and lawyers must be accredited by a professional regulatory body.
It is often said that immigration consultants and lawyers have complementary roles and can work hand in hand. This collaboration can make all the difference in a case! If your file requires the expertise of an immigration lawyer, we will refer you to one of the lawyers we work closely with.
We stand out for our approach to complex and demanding cases, such as inadmissibility or entry bans in Canada. Because these situations are rare and highly technical, it is essential to adopt a rigorous and personalized strategy to maximize the chances of success. We provide guidance to assess your situation and represent you in matters related to inadmissibility at any stage—whether before, during, or after an immigration application. We also assist in cases involving status loss, deportation, or appearances before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB).
This expertise is crucial for handling complex legal matters, such as appeals before a tribunal or cases involving the loss of permanent residency in Canada. We also work proactively to anticipate potential immigration obstacles, such as inadmissibility to an asylum claim. At Immigration Encima, this diligence is applied through the support of a consultant regulated by the ICCRC.
Our know-how also extends to temporary residence applications for those wishing to work or study despite prior issues. We handle rehabilitation and temporary permits with meticulous precision.
Our mission is to make Canadian immigration law more understandable and accessible. We strive to remove the barriers that prevent you from entering or remaining in Canada, even in the face of an entry ban.
Your immigration consultant in Québec conducts a thorough review of your file and advocates for your interests.
