IMMIGRATION & EXPATRIATION
Lawyers in immigration and international mobility
An entrepreneur wants to set up a company and obtain residence. A group needs to transfer an executive. A family is preparing to settle in Canada. A student needs to secure their status.
The right immigration application depends first on the project behind the form. Expats Law Firm supports individuals, families, entrepreneurs and businesses with their international mobility procedures.

STUDIES & YOUNG PROFESSIONALS
When expatriation begins with an academic or professional project
In Canada, mobility may involve the CAQ, study permits, biometrics, work authorisations or international mobility programmes, among others.
REFUSALS & CHANGES IN CIRCUMSTANCES
When the original plan no longer works
Refusal. Job loss. Change of employer. Permit expiry. Change in family circumstances. New professional project.
We examine the available options and the strategy for regularisation or a new application.
A form obtains a status. An immigration strategy lets you build the project around it.
