Canadian immigration services can involve temporary residence, permanent residence, family reunification, employer-supported immigration and humanitarian pathways. Fourth Dimension Immigration Inc. provides regulated Canadian immigration guidance and representation for individuals, families and employers, with strategy based on eligibility, immigration history, evidence, timing and the requirements applied by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
Led by Harjeet Arora, RCIC-IRB (R709086), the practice assists with Express Entry and Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), work permits and LMIA matters, study permits and PGWPs, visitor visas and Super Visas, family and spousal sponsorship, humanitarian and compassionate applications, refusals and selected enforcement or IRB-related matters. Where a matter requires Federal Court proceedings, the immigration record and strategy can be coordinated with qualified court counsel.
Canadian immigration services for temporary and permanent residence
Canada's immigration system has multiple pathways, and the appropriate application depends on your purpose, status, qualifications, family circumstances and previous immigration history. We assess the available options before recommending a filing strategy.
Express Entry and permanent residence pathways
Economic immigration may involve Express Entry programs such as the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP) and Federal Skilled Trades Program, as well as provincial nomination through programs such as the Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). A proper assessment considers factors such as work experience, language ability, education, Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score, provincial eligibility and documentary evidence.
Our role is to identify realistic permanent residence options, review eligibility and potential inadmissibility or disclosure concerns, organize supporting documents and prepare the application and written representations where appropriate.
Work permits, LMIA and employer immigration
Foreign workers and Canadian employers may require advice on Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) applications, employer-specific work permits, LMIA-exempt work permits, open work permits, spousal open work permits, status extensions and restoration. Employers also have compliance obligations under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program and International Mobility Program.
Because a work permit strategy can affect future permanent residence options, we consider both the immediate authorization to work and the applicant's longer-term immigration objectives.
Study permits, PGWP and international students
International students may need assistance with study permit applications, extensions, refusals, post-graduation work permit (PGWP) eligibility and transitions from study to work or permanent residence. A study permit application can involve issues relating to the purpose of study, financial capacity, immigration history, ties, documentation and compliance with current IRCC requirements.
Family and spousal sponsorship
Canadian citizens and permanent residents may be able to sponsor eligible spouses, common-law partners, dependent children and certain other family members. Family sponsorship files require careful evidence of eligibility, relationship history and admissibility. Where an application has been refused, the available remedy depends on the immigration category, reasons for refusal and procedural history.
Refusals, inadmissibility and complex immigration matters
Not every immigration matter begins with a new application. We also review previous refusals, procedural fairness letters, misrepresentation allegations, restoration issues, humanitarian and compassionate considerations, Temporary Resident Permits and other complex immigration histories. Refugee protection, Immigration and Refugee Board proceedings, removal-related matters and appeals are addressed through the firm's dedicated protection and enforcement services.
How our Canadian immigration process works
- Assessment: We review your objective, current status, immigration history, qualifications and previous applications.
- Pathway analysis: We identify the available immigration programs and explain eligibility, evidentiary requirements and material risks.
- Document strategy: We develop a document plan and identify inconsistencies or missing evidence before filing.
- Application preparation: When retained, we prepare and review the application and supporting representations appropriate to the matter.
- Post-filing assistance: We can assist with requests from immigration authorities, procedural fairness concerns and other developments within the scope of the retainer.
Why work with a regulated Canadian immigration consultant?
A Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) is licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). An RCIC-IRB licence also authorizes representation within the permitted scope before divisions of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. Professional representation does not guarantee an immigration outcome, but it provides regulated advice, structured case preparation and accountability.
Fourth Dimension Immigration serves clients in Ontario, across Canada and internationally. Consultations can be used to assess a new immigration plan or to obtain a second review of an existing or refused application.
Frequently asked questions about Canadian immigration services
What Canadian immigration services do you provide?
Services include visitor visas and Super Visas, study permits and PGWPs, work permits and LMIA matters, Express Entry and PNP pathways, family and spousal sponsorship, humanitarian applications, refusals, selected inadmissibility matters, refugee protection and IRB-related representation within the authorized scope of practice.
Which Canadian immigration pathway is best for me?
There is no single pathway that is appropriate for everyone. The answer depends on factors including age, education, language results, skilled work experience, Canadian experience, family circumstances, job or employer situation, current status and previous immigration history. An assessment should compare the pathways for which you may actually qualify.
Do I need an immigration consultant to apply to IRCC?
No. Applicants can file their own applications. If you retain a representative, however, you should verify that the person is authorized to provide Canadian immigration advice or representation for a fee.
Can you help after an immigration refusal?
Yes. The refusal and underlying application should be reviewed before deciding what to do next. Depending on the matter, possible options can include a corrected new application, reconsideration, an administrative appeal where available, or coordination with qualified Federal Court counsel for judicial review.
Can an RCIC guarantee approval?
No. Immigration decisions are made by the responsible Canadian authorities. Representation is intended to provide lawful strategy, accurate disclosure, organized evidence and clear submissions, not a guaranteed result.
Do Canadian immigration rules change?
Yes. Program eligibility, public policies, quotas, processing practices and documentary requirements can change. Current requirements should be checked before an application or immigration strategy is finalized.
