Canadian Immigration & Global Mobility
Canada’s highly structured immigration system presents immense opportunities for economic expansion and permanent settlement. At Muzy & Meraris LLP, we navigate IRCC’s shifting regulatory baselines. We provide elite, compliance-first architecture to transition temporary foreign workers, guide corporate executives, maximize points-based economic profiles, and secure high-value investment entries.
1. Federal Economic Streams & Express Entry
The primary pathway for highly skilled professionals, researchers, and managers seeking immediate, points-based Permanent Residency (PR).
· Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) & Canadian Experience Class (CEC): Managing competitive profile creation within the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). We optimise your age, education, and language metrics to secure an Invitation to Apply (ITA).
· 2026 Category-Based Selection Architecture: Navigating IRCC’s updated targeted draws. To qualify under these high-demand tracks, candidates must now show at least 12 months of work experience within the past 3 years (which no longer needs to be continuous).
o New Priorities: Senior Managers, Medical Doctors with Canadian experience, Researchers with Canadian experience, and Transport Occupations (such as commercial pilots and aircraft mechanics).
o Renewed Core Priorities: French-Language Proficiency, STEM Occupations, Healthcare Professionals, Trades, and Education Occupations.
2. Provincial Nominee Programs (PNP) & Regional Streams
For applicants and expanding enterprises seeking targeted economic pathways customised by individual Canadian provinces.
· Enhanced Express Entry PNP Streams: Leveraging fast-tracked provincial allocations across economic hubs like Ontario (OINP), British Columbia (BCPNP), and Alberta (AAIP) to secure an automatic 600-point boost to your CRS score.
· Quebec Immigration Pathways: Navigating Quebec’s independent economic frameworks, plurali-annual orientations, and strict French-language integration rules for permanent selection certifications (CSQ).
3. Corporate Mobility & Executive Transfer (B2B)
Tailored for multinational corporations establishing Canadian subsidiaries or deploying vital talent across North American operations.
· Intra-Company Transfers (ICT): Transferring key executive, managerial, or specialised knowledge personnel from foreign parent operations directly into Canada without requiring a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
· LMIA-Backed Work Permits: Assisting Canadian enterprises in securing positive Labour Market Impact Assessments from Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC) to hire international talent for critical operational gaps.
· Global Talent Stream (GTS): Utilising expedited 2-week priority visa processing for highly specialised tech sector transfers and digital innovators.
4. Academic Mobility & Short-Term Entry
Managing temporary entry pathways under Canada’s heightened integrity settings and revised visa inventories.
· Study Permits: Strategically building study portfolios under active provincial allocation caps. We oversee mandatory Provincial Attestation Letters (PAL), rigorous financial maintenance verifications, and Statement of Purpose (SOP) drafting.
· Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWP): Structuring post-study career transitions to ensure international graduates preserve their path to permanent residency via local corporate employment.
· Temporary Visitor & Business Visas: Securing Electronic Travel Authorisations (eTA) and temporary resident business visas for international delegations, corporate board evaluations, and conference attendees.
