Express Entry Invitation to Apply as of February 13, 2021
On February 13, 2021, Canada Immigration (IRCC) invited 27,332 people from the Express Entry pool under the Canadian Experience Class. This draw was unprecedented. With the number of people invited the lowest score dropped to 75 points. This compares to 454 points (the lowest score in all rounds of invitations since September 2020).
Please contact us:
• If you were selected from the pool on February 13 and require assistance with your application
• If you were not selected, this draw has created opportunities for ALL categories. We may be able to assist you with how to proceed further with your situation.
On April 14, 2021, two new programs were introduced to facilitate Permanent Residency for Foreign Workers with Canadian work experience and Recent International Graduates.
These programs have created an opportunity for many individuals currently in Canada (who may not otherwise qualify for immigration) to apply for permanent residence to Canada. These are temporary programs due to expire before the end of 2021. Please call us if you would like an assessment of your qualifications and how to proceed further.
Recent Changes to the U.S. Policy in Afghanistan.
The US government has announced its intention to withdraw ALL troops from Afghanistan by September of this year. Please contact us if you are seeking immigration status in Canada.
Humanitarian & Compassionate Applications
Sometimes individuals do not easily qualify in any immigration category but have compelling circumstances that give rise to obtaining status in Canada on humanitarian and compassionate grounds. Humanitarian and compassionate grounds are often considered where individuals have Canadian born children, where they have lived in Canada for a long time, or where individuals are not able to sponsor their parents or family members to Canada.
In preparing humanitarian and compassionate applications, Mark & Company Law Corporation will:
-
Assess the circumstances surrounding your case and determine whether this is a suitable option for you
-
Direct you with respect to the supporting documentation and information required for your application
-
Prepare a detailed submission on the circumstances of your situation
-
Prepare all immigration forms required
-
Submit the application to the appropriate immigration office
-
Act as the mailing address throughout the immigration process
-
Prepare all correspondence required throughout the processing of the application
-
If required, prepare you for interviews with Canadian immigration officers
-
Provide on-going legal advice throughout the processing of the application
If you need assistance with your application, contact us today. Your initial consultation with Linda Mark LLB is free.
