Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)How long will it take for my case to be processed? Each case is different. The time it takes depends on a number of factors, most importantly the number of applications a visa post receives and the difficulty they have in confirming your information. Cases are processed in the order in which they are received… there is no possibility of getting one case “jumped ahead”, no matter what the circumstances. The average processing time is 1.5 years, but depending on the visa post, the time could be much shorter or much longer (through some consulates, it can take up to 3 years). This timeline is not going to get any better. We recommend you apply as soon as possible before the timeline gets worse. We help you decide which visa post is best for you… but you make the final decision. For example, processing time for applications in the Federal Skilled Worker Class, depending on the visa post, may vary between 5 to 60 months. Priority is given to applicants who are already in Canada on a work or study permit. Do you guarantee processing times? Many factors affect processing times by making sure your case is complete with the right documentation and translations, and submitted to the right consulate, we can help the process go as quickly as possible. These steps we take can help reduce or avoid delays, and this allows for faster process. Do you guarantee the success of a case? Do you give refunds? Depending on the type of your application, we provide a money back guarantee: if your case is refused before you are granted an interview, we refund all your Consulting Fees excluding the Contract Signing Fee.. We guarantee we will work hard for you and give you excellent representation. We will prepare your application package, and will help you prepare for your interview. We cannot guarantee immigration officials will approve your case. Cases are refused for many reasons, such as poor demonstration of language ability at the interview, or even because an immigration officer makes a bad decision. We do guarantee your case will get to the interview stage. Can I appeal if my case is refused? Yes. If your case is refused, Reponte Immigration Services Inc. can appeal it. Appeals go to the Federal Court of Canada. How do I send you money? Our Consulting Fee is payable in three payments: 1. First payment: Upon signing the contract 2. Second payment: Upon your Commission Application Filing 3. Third payment: Upon passing Canadian Immigration interview You can send certified cheques, or wire transfer the funds to our account in Vancouver. If you wire transfer the money, please fax us the confirmation report so we can start preparing your case immediately. Can I get a work permit? In order to get a work permit, most people need a job offer. Before making you a job offer, the Canadian employer must have the offer validated by Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC). The employer will have to prove there are no Canadians ready, willing and able to take the job. Employers often must advertise the job, and make attempts to find a Canadian worker. This policy exists to protect the Canadian job market and keep job openings for Canadians. For some fields, such as the high-tech industry, Canada does not have enough people to fill the job openings. A special government program allows workers to enter Canada quickly to fill these jobs. The validation process is much faster and easier. Can Reponte Immigration Services Inc. arrange a job for me in Canada before I arrive? We are networked with job placement agencies across Canada as well as HRDC. What is the unemployment rate in Canada? As of June 2000, the unemployment rate was 6.6%, the lowest it has been since 1976. I’m a businessman. Can I get a temporary visa so I can come to Canada and start working on my business? To apply for a temporary Employment Authorization as a business applicant, you must tell immigration officials what type of business you wish to establish in Canada and prove you have the funds to start that business. If you get a temporary Employment Authorization, your family can come with you to Canada. We can assist them in obtaining any required authorizations (such as student visas) once you have received your Employment Authorization. Do I qualify as a business applicant? There are three categories of business applicants: entrepreneur, self-employed, and investor. For each, you have to show past success that is related to what you intend to do in Canada. Entrepreneurs must have enough money to establish or purchase a business in Canada. Self-employed professionals must work independently, and the work they do must be their source of income in Canada. Investors must make a significant investment in government-approved investment funds for a specified time period, and should intend to pursue business investment opportunities in Canada. Do both my husband and I need to qualify? Only the principal applicant has to qualify. The person who has the best chance to qualify should apply as the principal applicant. How much money do I need to bring to settle in Canada? When you arrive in Canada, you must show you have a certain amount of funds to help you settle before you find a job and accommodations. The amount you must bring depends on the number of people (ie. you alone, or you plus your family): 1 person
$ 7238.00 When are translations necessary? Translations are necessary when your documents are not in English and do not contain an English version of their contents. We recommend you have translations done by a certified translator or notary in your home country, as this will be cheaper than us finding a translator for you in Canada. However, if this is not possible, we can arrange to have your documents translated in Canada. What are “illegal aliens”? An “illegal alien” is an “undocumented alien” in the United States. This category includes people who are still in the US after their visitor visa has expired; people who cross the border into the US without inspection by a border official; people who pretended to be Canadian during their inspection; and many others. “Undocumented aliens” are eligible for Canadian immigration. Their “illegal” status in the US will not affect their Canadian immigration claim in any way. An “excludable” person is different than an “undocumented alien”. “Excludable” means a person is ineligible for permanent residence in the US… but this person may be eligible for permanent residence in Canada. For example, a person who is “excludable” in the US because they have a criminal record may still be eligible for Canadian permanent residence. When are police clearances required, and where from? Every applicant (you and your dependents) over the age of 18 must obtain and submit police clearance certificates from every country they have resided in for longer than 6 months since turning 18 years old in the last 10 years. We cannot obtain police clearances on your behalf. Immigration will not accept photocopies of police clearances, so you must provide our office with the originals. |
