Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about Canadian immigration

How long does an Express Entry application take?

For the most up-to-date information on processing times, please contact us at info@greencoveimmigration.ca. Processing times may vary, and we can provide the current details. Generally, Express Entry applications are processed within 6 months, but this can vary based on various factors including application completeness, program, and IRCC processing capacity.

Do you guarantee visa approval?

No licensed immigration consultant can guarantee visa approval, as final decisions rest with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). However, we provide expert guidance, ensure your application is complete and accurate, and help you present the strongest possible case. Our goal is to maximize your chances of success by providing professional, thorough service.

What's the difference between PR and Citizenship?

Permanent Residency (PR) allows you to live, work, and study anywhere in Canada indefinitely, but you must maintain your PR status by meeting residency obligations. Canadian Citizenship is the final step, granting you a Canadian passport, the right to vote, and protection from losing your status. PR is typically the first step, and after meeting residency requirements (usually 3 years), you can apply for citizenship.

Can Greencove represent me in Canada?

Yes, as a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC), Regina Sobowale is authorized to represent clients before Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) and the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB). We can represent you throughout your immigration process, whether you're inside or outside Canada.

What documents do I need for a work permit application?

Required documents vary depending on the type of work permit, but generally include: a valid passport, job offer letter, Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) if required, proof of qualifications, medical examination results (if required), and proof of financial support. We can provide a complete checklist tailored to your specific situation during a consultation.

How much does an immigration consultation cost?

Consultation fees vary depending on the type and complexity of your case. We offer initial consultations to assess your situation and provide transparent pricing for all services. Contact us at info@greencoveimmigration.ca or call (204) 951-3440 to discuss your needs and receive a quote.

Can I apply for permanent residency while on a work permit?

Yes, many individuals apply for permanent residency while working in Canada on a work permit. Programs like the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) through Express Entry specifically value Canadian work experience. We can help you determine the best pathway and timing for your PR application.

What is a Super Visa?

A Super Visa allows parents and grandparents of Canadian citizens or permanent residents to visit Canada for extended periods. It's valid for up to 10 years and allows stays of up to 5 years per visit. Requirements include medical insurance, proof of financial support from the child/grandchild, and meeting other standard visitor visa requirements.

How do I know which immigration program is right for me?

Determining the right immigration program depends on various factors including your age, education, work experience, language skills, family situation, and immigration goals. We offer free assessments and consultations to evaluate your eligibility and recommend the best pathway for your unique situation.

What happens if my application is refused?

If your application is refused, we can help you understand the reasons for refusal and explore your options. Depending on the circumstances, you may be able to reapply with a stronger application, appeal the decision, or pursue alternative pathways. As an RCIC-IRB, we can also represent you in appeals before the Immigration and Refugee Board.
