Canadian immigration · Waseer Law Office

Canadian permanent residence options

Choose a pathway based on your circumstances. Discuss your work, education, language results and family connections before committing to an application.

Based in London, Ontario. Canadian immigration enquiries across Canada and abroad. Scope confirmed for each matter.

Start with your circumstances

Clear advice. Practical next steps.

A useful permanent residence discussion starts with your facts and the programs that may fit them. Creating a profile, receiving an invitation and obtaining permanent residence are different stages.

Express Entry

Discuss your background, the information needed for a profile and the distinction between eligibility and selection.

Provincial or regional pathways

Consider whether a provincial nomination or regional program warrants a closer assessment.

Family and other routes

Identify whether your family circumstances or another available category points to a different next step.

What to understand before you proceed

Canada has several permanent residence programs with different requirements and application processes. Program availability and selection criteria can change. We assess the route relevant to your information and identify what should be verified before you proceed. No profile, invitation or nomination guarantees final approval.

Make the consultation useful

Bring the information that matters.

  • Your current location, status and immigration history
  • A work history with dates, duties and employers
  • Education details and any credential assessments
  • Language test results, if available
  • Family connections, job offers and intended province of residence

Use the secure sharing instructions supplied by the office. Do not send identification or sensitive records through a general enquiry.

Before you book

Your questions, answered.

Do I need to know which program to choose?

No. Bring your background and goals. The consultation can help identify which route deserves further assessment and what information is still missing.

Is a work permit the same as permanent residence?

No. Temporary work authorisation and permanent residence are separate. We can discuss how your immediate plans relate to longer-term options.

Can you tell me when I will be invited or approved?

No invitation, processing time or outcome is guaranteed. Advice depends on your circumstances and the current requirements.

I already have an active file. Should I book here?

Use existing-client booking and follow the verification steps for your active matter.
