Temporary Visas (Work & Study Permits)
Work, Study, and Grow in Canada.
Whether you are pursuing a degree or advancing your career, your status in Canada depends on a flawless application. UMPC LAW secures the permits you need to seize opportunities without legal roadblocks.
Overview of the Legal Issue
For many, a Study Permit or Work Permit is the first step toward Canadian citizenship. However, these applications are scrutinized heavily by immigration officers.
- Study Permits: You must prove you are a genuine student with the finances to support yourself, but also satisfy the officer that you will leave Canada if your post-grad plans fail.
- Work Permits: Whether it is an employer-specific permit requiring an LMIA or an Open Work Permit, the rules are strict. Employers often struggle with the Labour Market Impact Assessment process, and applicants frequently face refusals due to “insufficient ties to home.”
How UMPC LAW Helps
We turn your academic and professional goals into strong legal submissions. We bridge the gap between your intent to stay temporarily and your long-term goals (Dual Intent).
Strong Study Plans
For students, we draft compelling “Statements of Purpose” that explain why studying in Canada is a logical step for your career, directly addressing common refusal reasons.
LMIA Management
We guide employers and workers through the rigorous Labour Market Impact Assessment process to prove that hiring a foreign worker is necessary.
Post-Grad Work Permits (PGWP)
We ensure students transition smoothly to worker status, protecting their eligibility for future PR pathways.
Spousal Open Work Permits
We help spouses of students and skilled workers obtain their own permits to keep the family financially stable.
The Legal Process
What to Expect
- Eligibility Review: We verify your Letter of Acceptance (LOA) or Job Offer to ensure it meets Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) standards.
- Financial Strategy: We help you organize proof of funds to satisfy the officer that you can support yourself without working illegally.
- Submission: We submit your application through the Authorized Representative portal, including detailed legal submissions to advocate for your approval.
- Entry Preparation: Once approved, we prepare you for the questions you may face from Border Services Officers (CBSA) at the Port of Entry.
