Immigration and Citizenship

Immigration

The Canadian government encourages immigration to Canada. However, the process of obtaining any kind of visa (visitor, student, foreign worker) or permanent residence is not necessarily straight-forward.  Emma Andrews Law Firm deals with all areas of immigration to Canada. Whether you are outside Canada trying to get in, or inside Canada wanting to stay here,  Emma Andrews Law Firm is committed to assist you with Canadian immigration laws.

Canadian immigration laws and policies continue to evolve.  The immigration process is complex and often requires a strategic approach.  Emma can help you navigate through the immigration process.

Her background in Canadian immigration and citizenship issues provides her with the legal skills and knowledge that help make the immigrant’s dream of living in Canada a reality. Through the years Emma Andrews Law Firm has been assisting immigrants in the following immigration categories:

Emma has experience with this type of application and will be glad to assist you.
