Citizenship and PR

Citizenship and PR


Becoming a Canadian citizen will provide you with all the rights and privileges Canada has to offer–and there are many in terms of finances and mobility. If you already hold citizenship in another country, do not worry! Canada offers dual-citizenship so you will not need to forfeit your prior one.
We are specialized in Canadian Citizenship and Immigration law. If you are a permanent resident, you may be eligible to obtain a Canadian citizenship.


  • Age :18 years old or older

  • Permanent resident status

  • Time you have lived in Canada (residence)

  • Income tax filing

  • Intent to reside

  • Language skills, how well you know Canada, (Have adequate knowledge of Citizenship Language Requirement, if under age 64) and prohibitions (no criminal record or removal order).

Permanent Residence (PR) Card Renewal


A Permanent Resident (PR) Card is proof of your Canadian status and can be renewed to extend your PR upon expiration. You may be required to apply for a renewal if:


  • PR card is expired or will expire in less than 9 months;
  • You didn’t receive your PR card within 180 days of immigrating to Canada;
  • PR card has been lost, stolen, or destroyed; or
  • You legally changed your name

Humanitarian & Compassionate (HC)


In special cases, you can apply for Permanent Resident (PR) status through Humanitarian & Compassionate (HC) if you have been living in Canada for at least 3 years with no status. This method of immigration is very circumstantial and requires substantial evidence supporting your reason to stay in Canada despite not qualifying through other immigration programs and may take several years to process. HC cases are generally granted if there are reasons to believe issues involving:


  • Families and or children
  • Other substantial circumstantial evidence
  • It indicates a high probability of undue harm to the applicant should he/she be moved back to their home country.

In order to succeed in H&C cases, the candidate must typically demonstrate good behaviors in Canada such as employment background, community integration/involvement (ex. volunteering), & financial responsibility.
