Star-Can Immigration Express Entry
Express Entry  
Would you like to know which immigration programs you qualify for, or how to increase your chances of receiving an invitation through the Express Entry system (EE)? Even though EE may seem like a straightforward application, there are many important details and strategies you need to be aware of.

For example, how can you prove foreign work experience if your previous employer cannot be reached or you do not have payroll slips? When and how should you prepare a police certificate to avoid rejection? Can an applicant quit their job after submitting the application?
Star-Can Immigration Family Sponsorship
Family Sponsorship
If you care deeply about your family, please don’t make them wait too long to reunite with you. The success of a spousal or common-law partner sponsorship depends on convincing the officer that your relationship is genuine, not one created for immigration purposes, and that you will be well settled in Canada.

Sponsoring children can be complicated if the other parent does not agree to sign required documents. Sponsorship of parents and grandparents (PGP) is done through a lottery system, but the sponsor’s family income is a key requirement.

Processing times are now longer than before, requirements are stricter, and application materials have become more complex. You may also prepare for an interview from immigration officers.
Star-Can Immigration international students in canada
School Registration & Study Permit
Studying in Canada is an exciting decision, but in the past few years IRCC has made significant changes to the regulations, making the process more challenging than before. How will you complete your studies successfully if English is a barrier, and how should you plan your immigration pathway after graduation?

Extending your study permit and applying for a post-graduation work permit (PGWP) are also important steps in your journey. During your studies, you may want your parents or other relatives to visit you.

For minor students, parents can accompany them, and during this period, the family can also begin planning for immigration. Each of these steps requires careful preparation in advance.
Star-Can Immigration LMIA & Work Permit
LMIA & Work Permit
Canada is open to foreign workers, but there are also many restrictions to consider. Whether you need a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) depends on factors such as your nationality, age, work experience, job offer, and wage.

In some situations, you may even be eligible to work without a work permit. International Experience Canada (IEC) work permit is one of the most popular LMIA exempt work permits. If you already hold a work permit, it is important to plan carefully for its renewal and for your future immigration options.
Star-Can Immigration Visitor Visa and Super Visa
Visitor Visa and Super Visa
Canada’s tourist and family visit visas are known to be one of the most challenging to obtain. Approval is never guaranteed—even carefully prepared applications following the checklist can be refused. While family visit visas tend to have higher success rates, many applicants are still unexpectedly denied. You also need to determine which option is best for your parents or grandparents: a Super Visa or a regular visitor visa. 

Consistency is key: all information provided to the government must be accurate and consistent, as even a small visa application can impact your future IRCC applications. We have seen many applicants approach us with refused visa applications who do not even know what documents their “agent” submitted on their behalf, making it difficult to move forward with the next steps. Preparing your documents strategically can increase your chances of approval. With many details to consider, careful planning and guidance are essential to a successful application.
Star-Can Immigration Provincial Nomination Program (PNP)
Provincial Nomination Program (PNP) 
British Columbia is widely recognized as the most livable province in Canada and has long been a top choice for new immigrants.

Ontario remains the most popular destination for workers and young professionals, while the Prairie Provinces and more remote regions offer some of the most flexible immigration policies. In recent years, the Atlantic Provinces have also seen growing popularity among newcomers.

Provincial governments continuously update their immigration policies, including requirements for work experience, English proficiency, scoring systems, processing times, and quota limits—making it essential to stay informed when planning your move.
 
Star-Can Immigration Switch from Visitor Visa to Study Permit/Work Permit
Switch from Visitor Visa to Study Permit/Work Permit
Canada allows tourists to apply for a study permit or work permit inside Canada, though the requirements are stricter than before. Applying this way eliminates the hassle of submitting your application from abroad and generally offers a higher approval rate. For those with immigration plans, it can also speed up your pathway to permanent residency.

Applying from within Canada comes with important conditions. For example, to switch to a study permit, you must complete a government-approved prerequisite program and submit your application within a specific timeframe. Missing any detail could lead to a refusal. If you secure a job offer while in Canada, you may have the opportunity to switch to a work permit. Obtaining a work permit is a major step forward in your immigration journey.
Immigration Pathway: Study Permit/Work Permit to Permanent Residence
Immigration Pathway: Study Permit/Work Permit to Permanent Residence
As an international graduate in Canada, your pathway to permanent residency can vary depending on your experience and qualifications. Some immigration programs require a job offer or Canadian work experience, while others do not.

Popular options for international students and foreign workers include Express Entry such as Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and various Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). Additionally, some pilot programs in rural communities provide simplified pathways to apply for PR.

If you completed your education outside of Canada, you will need to undergo an Educational Credential Assessment (ECA) to validate your credentials. While obtaining a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) may not add extra points for Express Entry, it can still strengthen your immigration application.
Star-Can Immigration PR card & Citizenship
PR card & Citizenship
Obtaining a Permanent Resident (PR) card does not mean all your immigration concerns are over.

- "How is the “2 out of 5 years” residency requirement calculated?"

- "What should you do if you haven’t met the residency requirement?"

- "When is the right time to renew your PR card?"

- "Should you renew your PR card or apply for citizenship?"

- "Is the citizenship interview difficult?"

- "Where should your baby be born to have dual citizenship?"

- "What should you do if you lose your PR card?"

We can guide you through all of these questions
Star-Can Immigration Francophone Programs
Speak French? Don’t miss the opportunity to explore your options to study, work, or immigrate to Canada.

Canada actively welcomes French speakers through various francophone programs, making it easier for you to settle compared to other applicants.

If you have a higher level of education and extensive work experience, you may qualify for immigration through Express Entry. You could also secure a job offer, apply for a work permit, and live in Canada with your accompanying family members.

If you are from certain countries in Africa, the Middle East, or the Americas, you may be eligible to study in selected minority communities and apply for immigration after graduation.
Star-Can Immigration Refugee Protection, H&C, Rehabilitation, Record Suspension, TRP and More
Refugee Protection, H&C, Rehabilitation, Record Suspension, TRP and More
We specialize in handling complex and challenging cases. If you believe you need protection in Canada due to hardship or persecution you may face upon returning to your home country, you may be eligible to apply for the refugee program. Even if you do not qualify under any standard immigration category, you could still have an opportunity to apply for permanent residency on Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) grounds. Share your story and circumstances with us! 

No one is perfect. If you have concerns about past non-compliance or even criminal charges — such as driving under the influence (DUI) — but still wish to come to Canada, there may be solutions available. 
Star-Can Immigration IRB Appeal or Resubmission
A refusal is not the end of the road. An officer may reject your application due to mistakes, insufficient consideration of your case, or issues related to procedural fairness.

Many factors can lead to a refusal, but you may still have options to challenge the decision.

Common refusals involve Canadian visa applications, family sponsorships, or residency obligations. In some cases, a removal order may be issued, which can have serious consequences if not addressed promptly.

Depending on your situation, you may be able to appeal, request reconsideration or a judicial review, or submit a new application.

We can represent you before the IRB or in other relevant proceedings, presenting strong arguments to seek a fair outcome.
