Refugees Permanent Residence

About This Service

A person recognized by the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) or IRCC as a Protected Person can apply for permanent residence for themselves and eligible family members. This stage is different from the asylum case and requires full disclosure of family members, identity, residence and security records.

Eligibility

The applicant must have a positive decision to be a Protected Person or Protected Temporary Resident and not be a citizen, national or permanent resident of another country in which he can live without fear of persecution. A person who is already a permanent resident of Canada is not eligible for this route. Family members, even if they are not accompanied, must be declared and checked according to the guidelines.

Professional Fees

Professional fees are determined after reviewing the applicant’s circumstances, immigration history, number of family members, the complexity of the matter, and the scope of services required. To receive an assessment and fee information, please book a professional consultation. After the assessment, the services, professional fees, and payment terms will be confirmed in a written retainer agreement.

Government processing fees, biometrics, medical examinations, translations, credential assessments, courier charges, and other third-party costs are separate from professional fees unless the written agreement expressly states otherwise.
