Areas of Practice

Permanent Residence

For Skilled Workers seeking to immigrate to Canada, Express Entry is the primary path. The federal government has established an entirely online system that is not always user-friendly and where one mistake in an application can lead to a refusal. We have been working with the Express Entry system since it was established and have a wealth of experience achieving successful outcomes for our clients. If you need assistance navigating the Express Entry path to permanent residence in Canada, please contact us. We are here to help.

Temporary Residence - Work Permits

Obtaining a Work Permit for Canada can offer you the ability to gain international experience for a limited period of time or it can be the first step towards qualifying for permanent residence. We have expertise in all aspects of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and International Mobility Program and are available to assist you and your Canadian employer in obtaining your authorization to work in Canada.

Temporary Residence - Study Permits and Vistors

If you are interested in studying in Canada, the first step, after you have been accepted to a school, is obtaining a Study Permit. Study in Canada can often be the first stage on a road toward obtaining permanent residence. It is important to start that journey well-informed. We also provide assistance to clients seeking a Temporary Resident Visa to visit Canada for personal or business reasons.

Permanent Residence - Provincial Nominee Program

Each province (except Quebec) has its own Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) that allows them to select immigrants especially suited to their labour market and local economy. Whether you are an international graduate on a post-graduation Work Permit, a Temporary Foreign Worker with an employer in Canada, or an entrepreneur seeking to establish a business in Canada, the PNP may be suitable and fast route to obtaining permanent residence in Canada. At Hima Consulting we have worked with a majority of the programs across the country and have particular expertise with the British Columbia PNP, both with the Skills Immigration stream and the Entrepreneur Immigration route.

Family Class Sponsorship & Appeals

Years of experience providing clients with representation in Family Class sponsorships. Sponsoring someone for permanent residence has become a fairly arduous task with the amount of documentation that must be provided. If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident seeking to sponsor a spouse or your parents, we know how to get this process done as efficiently as possible. We also represent appellants before the Immigration Appeal Division if your sponsorship has been refused.

Citizenship

Qualified to become a Canadian citizen? Or not sure yet? We help you calculate the time you’ve been physically in Canada, and let you know when to prepare the application. You rest assured before and after the application submission, as we will assist you through the process and get you ready for your success as a Canadian citizen.
