Immigration Lawyer Edmonton: How immigration works in Canada

Applications go to IRCC, with Alberta playing a role in provincial programs.

Immigration to Canada is governed by the federal Immigration and Refugee Protection Act, with applications processed by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). Permanent residence can come through federal programs such as Express Entry, through provincial nominee programs such as the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program, or through family sponsorship.

Temporary residents, such as workers, students and visitors, apply for permits or visas. These come with conditions and expiry dates. Staying beyond them, or working without authorization, can lead to serious consequences.

Decisions are made on the documents. A refusal letter explains the reasons in short form, and the officer’s notes can be requested. Options include reapplying with better evidence, asking for reconsideration, or applying to the Federal Court for judicial review, which has short deadlines.

Rules, caps and processing times change often. Always check the IRCC website for current information, and speak to us for advice on your situation.
