For Individuals

We provide expert consulting services for individuals seeking to apply for immigration or temporary status in Canada.

Permanent Residence

Express Entry

For Skilled Workers seeking to immigrate to Canada, Express Entry is the primary path.  The federal government has established an entirely online system that is not always user-friendly and where one mistake in an application can lead to a refusal.

We have been working with the Express Entry system since it was established and have a wealth of experience achieving successful outcomes for our clients.  If you need assistance navigating the Express Entry path to permanent residence in Canada, please contact us.  We are here to help.

Permanent Residence

Provincial Nominee Programs

Each province (except Quebec) has its own Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) that allows them to select immigrants especially suited to their labour market and local economy.  Whether you are an international graduate on a post-graduation Work Permit, a Temporary Foreign Worker with an employer in Canada, or an entrepreneur seeking to establish a business in Canada, the PNP may be a suitable and fast route to obtaining permanent residence in Canada.  

At J. Kenney Consulting we have worked with a majority of the programs across the country and have particular expertise with the British Columbia PNP, both with the Skills Immigration stream and the Entrepreneur Immigration route.

Permanent Residence

Business Categories

There are a number of routes to immigrate to Canada as a business person. Several of the Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) offer streams devoted to entrepreneurs seeking to purchase or establish businesses in their provinces.

The Province of Quebec maintains an Immigrant Investor Program for those with business/management experience and the assets required to make a passive investment. We are experienced in all options available to business immigrants and will help you through what can be a complicated and confusing process.

Permanent Residence

Humanitarian And Compassionate Grounds

If you find yourself unable to apply for permanent residence for any reason, and you believe you would experience significant hardship if you return to your country of citizenship, contact us to discuss the possibility of filing an application for permanent residence based on humanitarian and compassionate factors.

Permanent Residence

Family Class Sponsorships

We have decades of experience providing clients with representation in Family Class sponsorships. Sponsoring someone for permanent residence has become a fairly arduous task with the amount of documentation that must be provided. If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent residence seeking to sponsor a spouse or your parents, we know how to get this process done as efficiently as possible.

Appeals Before The Immigration And Refugee Board

We represent appellants before the Immigration Appeal Division if your sponsorship application has been refused, or if you are a permanent resident who has been issued a removal order by the Canada Border Services Agency for reasons such as failing to meet your residency obligation, or other inadmissibility concerns.

Temporary Residence

Work Permits

Obtaining a Work Permit for Canada can offer you the ability to gain international experience for a limited period of time or it can be the first step towards qualifying for permanent residence. We have expertise in all aspects of the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and International Mobility Program and are available to assist you and your Canadian employer in obtaining your authorization to work in Canada.

Temporary Residence

Study Permits And Visitors

If you are interested in studying in Canada, the first step, after you have been accepted to a school, is obtaining a Study Permit. Study in Canada can often be the first stage on a road toward obtaining permanent residence.

It is important to start that journey well-informed. We also provide assistance to clients seeking a Temporary Resident Visa to visit Canada for personal or business reasons.

Permanent Resident Cards and Citizenship

After you’ve worked hard to obtain permanent residence in Canada, we want to make sure you don’t lose it. We provide clients with expert assistance in extending their Permanent Resident Cards and, once eligible, applying for Canadian citizenship. These processes can be difficult and time-consuming. We are here to make them easier for you.
