Legalizing documents for international use is a crucial process for individuals and businesses in Canada. Whether you’re dealing with academic transcripts, legal documents, or personal certificates, ensuring their validity abroad is essential. This guide will walk you through the steps to legalize a document in Canada.
The Importance of Official English/Spanish Translations
If you are a Canadian or American who needs to use an English-language document in Mexico, first you must obtain a certified and notarized translation. The same is true if you need to use a Spanish-language Mexican document in Canada or the US. We have a certified document translator in Jalisco who can prepare official translations that are valid for use in Mexico, Canada, and the United States.
Importing a Car to Canada from Mexico
Thinking about importing a car from Mexico to Canada? There is some leg work involved. Here is what you need to know about the import process.
How Does Express Entry Work?
Canada uses a points-based system called Express Entry to rank immigration applications. Applicants with the highest scores are selected from the pool of candidates and invited to apply for permanent residence in Canada. If you are a skilled immigrant who wants to immigrate to Canada, Express Entry may be a great option for you.
Temporary Entry to Canada from US and Mexico Easier Under CUSMA
Temporary entry to Canada is easier if you are a citizen of the Unites State or Mexico coming to Canada as a “business person.” The Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) simplifies the process for professionals, tradespeople, investors, executives, and business visitors who want to work temporarily in Canada.
Reconsideration of a Refused PR Application- Two Stage Principle
Refusals of immigration applications are common, and it has also become common to apply for reconsiderations, but exactly is a reconsideration of a decision and what is the legal test?
The Federal Court of Canada has recently ruled on a two stage process required by an immigration officer when assessing a reconsideration of a negative decision.
Misrepresentation or Innocent Misrepresentation; What if your Immigration Representative Submits your Application without Giving you an Opportunity to Review?
The general consequence of a finding of misrepresentation in immigration applications is very severe – a five-year ban on admission to Canada. The jurisprudence is settled that s40(1)(a) of the IRPA is to be given a broad interpretation in order to promote its underlying purpose. It is important to note that the exception to this rule is narrow.
CPTPP Work Permits for Professionals and Technicians
A foreign national who wants to work in Canada needs a work permit or an authorization to work without a permit. Canada offers several immigration options.
Self-Employed Business Immigration
Are you a self-employed person who wants to immigrate to Canada? You may qualify for Canada’s “Self-Employed Persons Program.” When your application under this program is approved, you get a permanent resident visa. You can live and work in Canada, and you will also become eligible to apply for Canadian citizenship after you settle here.
Minors Travelling Outside Canada With Only One Parent
Any child travelling outside Canada with only one parent should carry a consent letter. This is true even if it is only for a day trip, and even if the child will only be unaccompanied by both parents for part of the trip. If you travel across the border with a minor and don’t have a consent letter, it may cause delays, or worse—your child may be denied entry to or exit from a country.
