Similar to every sovereign country, Canada has a set of laws and policies that govern the admission of foreign nationals into Canada as well as the rights, responsibilities and privileges accorded to such persons once they enter Canada including of course the conditions for their removal should this become necessary.

The immigration laws and policies for Canada are shaped and influenced by some internal factors - family class and reunification, skill class or economic class migration etc and other external factors - adherence to international and multi-lateral treaties to which Canada is a signatory as well as ordinary humanitarian conventions and customs common to most nations.

Canadian Immigration & Refugee Laws and Policies are continuously evolving in response to changes that occur in the global arena. For this reason, it can be occasionally challenging and technical for those who do not have a complete grasp of the frequently changing policies to handle immigration matters either for themselves or on behalf of others.

At Vincent Mark Law Office, we devote a lot of professional time and resources to master the most current state of the law and policies as pronounced by the Canadian government authorities in the area of Immigration & Refugee Protection. Our team of Lawyers are well equipped and experienced to offer legal services and represent clients in these areas of immigration:

• All categories of Visitor Visa Applications
• Student Visa Applications & School Admissions
• Permanent Residency Applications including Skilled Worker Class, Family Class, Provincial Nominee and Canadian Experience Class applications
• Removal & Deportation Orders
• Refugee Applications – which can be processed by our office on behalf of clients once they arrive Canada by Land, Sea or Air.

In every immigration case, our office will first review each client’s case and then provide advice and representation that best protects the interest of the client. For our clients, we will ensure end-to-end representation by handholding the client from applications to approval and where necessary, we will represent the client before the Tribunals and Courts.

This is the area of the law that prohibits certain conducts considered inimical and harmful to the public. It also statutorily imposes punishment for the prohibited conducts. Whether a crime has or has not been committed in a given set of circumstances is totally a question decided by the courts on very clear legal proceedings. Thus, the popular and hallowed principle in criminal law is that everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Based on this and also the fact that criminal statutes and laws including criminal proceedings in courts of law are typically highly technical, clients should never treat lightly any accusation or even veiled accusations of criminal conducts.

If therefore you are or have reason to believe that you are being accused of a crime or may be so accused or even the fact or witnessing a crime or indeed any form of confrontation with the government in relation to conducts that may likely be considered as criminal, please promptly contact us so that we can evaluate the situation including the set of facts after which we will provide you with the legal advice that best protects your interests and rights to liberty and security of the person. Never attempt to take on the criminal process yourself.

You may call us today at 778-379-9353 or send us e-mail at info@vincentmarklaw.ca to evaluate and ask questions regarding a possible criminal situation.
