Immigration law is complex, ever-changing, and highly consequential. At O’Beth law, we bring deep professionalism, strategic foresight, and personalized care to guide you through every step of your Canadian immigration journey. Whether you are pursuing study, work, family reunification, humanitarian pathways, or addressing inadmissibility, our goal is to protect your status and maximize your opportunity.
1. Consultation, Assessment & Strategy Planning
- Comprehensive case review & eligibility assessment
From our first meeting, we examine your background, goals, and challenges — including education, work history, family ties, criminal history, and past immigration applications. - Gap analysis & pathway design
We analyze which immigration streams (Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs, family sponsorship, etc.) are viable for you. We identify obstacles early (inadmissibility, missing documents, gaps) and build a strategic roadmap tailored to your case. - Risk assessment & mitigation planning
We evaluate potential risks (e.g. refusal, removal, delays) and propose mitigation strategies — such as appeals, waiver requests, or alternative routes.
2. Temporary Status & Visitor Permits
- Visitor visas & extensions
We help individuals apply for or extend visitor status, ensuring their documents and representation meet all IRCC criteria. - Study permits & renewals
We guide students through permit applications, extension filings, compliance with school/program requirements, and restoration of status if needed. - Work permits & employer support
We assist with employer-driven work permit applications and open work permit applications and advise on transitions to permanent residency. - Bridging open work permits & status maintenance
When transitioning between status types (e.g. from temporary to permanent), we help you maintain legal authorization to stay and work during processing.
3. Permanent Residency & Economic Immigration
- Express Entry / Federal Skilled Programs
We prepare and submit applications under the Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class, and Federal Skilled Trades programs, optimizing submissions for maximum points and minimal risk. - Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs)
We guide you through province-specific nomination programs, helping you align with eligibility & documentation requirements to boost your chances of selection. - Canadian Experience & In-Canada pathways
For skilled foreign workers already in Canada, we help you leverage your Canadian experience toward permanent status. - Self-employed / Entrepreneur / Business immigration streams
For clients with specialized skills or business backgrounds, we evaluate and support business or investment-based immigration streams.
4. Family Sponsorship & Reunification
- Spousal / common-law / conjugal partnerships
We handle applications to sponsor a partner, including assessment of genuineness, cohabitation evidence, and supporting documents. - Parent / grandparent sponsorship
We guide you through eligibility, income requirements, and application preparation to reunite family members. - Dependent child & adoption sponsorship
We assist with sponsoring dependent children, including intercountry adoption processes, ensuring compliance with IRCC and immigration laws.
5. Humanitarian, Refugee & Protection Claims
- Refugee claims & inland / overseas protection
We represent clients before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) in asylum and protection cases. - Humanitarian & compassionate applications (H&C)
For clients who do not qualify under standard streams, we prepare H&C applications emphasizing personal hardship, establishment in Canada, and compelling circumstances. - Pre-removal risk assessments & deferrals
When removal orders are involved, we support submissions to delay removal based on human rights, country risk, or medical grounds. - Judicial review & appeals
Where IRB or immigration decisions are flawed, we pursue appeals and judicial review at the Federal Court, highlighting procedural errors, misapplications of law, or fairness defects.
6. Inadmissibility, Waivers & Criminal-Immigration Intersections
- Criminal / medical / security inadmissibility
We assess whether past convictions, medical conditions, or security concerns may bar your application, and design strategies to overcome them. - Temporary Resident Permits (TRP) & rehabilitation applications
For those rendered inadmissible, we help apply for TRPs or seek rehabilitation approval — demonstrating that your admission is in Canada’s interest and risk is minimal. - Overcoming refusal / refusal appeals
We handle cases where past applications were refused, analyzing reasons for refusal and crafting strong rebuttal or subsequent applications.
7. Citizenship, Residency Maintenance & Documentation
- Citizenship applications & appeals
We assist in preparing applications for Canadian citizenship and pursue appeals or judicial review of citizenship refusals. - Permanent resident card renewal / replacement
We manage renewals, replacements, or re-entry planning for PR holders. - Travel documents, dual citizenship & renunciation
We handle passport, travel or emergency documents, applications for dual status, or voluntary renunciation where necessary.
8. Post-Decision Support & Compliance
- Settlement, arrival & integration support
After decision issuance, we assist with landing processes, status documentation, and integration requirements. - Immigration compliance & transition planning
We monitor deadlines, reporting requirements, status expiry, and guide clients on status maintenance, renewals, or transitions. - Post-status adjustments & change in circumstances
We handle changes in marital status, dependents, employment, or address that may affect your status, and advise on next steps.
