Attention Canadian citizens and permanent residents: It’s a crime for you and a foreign applicant to set up what’s known as a “marriage of convenience” to allow your sponsored spouse or common-law partner to immigrate to Canada.

Immigration officers know how to detect false marriages and there are serious criminal charges. Avoid scams and learn the rules for sponsoring a spouse or common-law partner: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/protect-fraud/marriage-fraud.html

EXCITING NEWS from IRCC!

In January 2023, IRCC is introducing a new 2-year temporary program to allow spouses, common-law partners, and working-age dependents of temporary foreign workers of ALL skill levels, to apply for Canadian work permits.

This will help address labour shortages in Canada AND help to reunite families - allowing more foreign workers and their families to live and work together in communities across Canada.

Contact 519-969-6789 or [email protected] for more information.

The pace of Canada’s economic recovery has made it hard for employers, including those in the tourism industry, to find the workers they need.

Remembering and thanking those who sacrificed their lives for freedom. Thank you to our veterans & active military.
