Yes, even if you are illegal in the United States, you can still get a visa, study permit, work permit or Canadian residency for Canada. Our law firm has helped people just like you to get your visa application approved.

Only an experienced lawyer who has dealt with undocumented applicants can advise you on your best Canada Immigration Strategy.

If I apply for a visa to Canada, do I need to go back to Mexico? If I apply for a visa to Canada do I need to go back home?

Most of our clients do not need to return to their home country before they come to Canada. Generally, our clients are able to go directly from the United States to Canada. This applies to most workers, students, and professionals. In some circumstances, we may suggest a client return to their country of nationality if we are confident their visa application will be approved. We understand that people with status have their lives and families in the United States, and we know how serious the decision is to leave America before your Canadian status is approved. We try to avoid that scenario and usually we are able to bring people directly into Canada from the USA.

Anyone who is undocumented or “illegal” in the U.S. can apply for a Canadian visa or Permanent Residency. If you have a valid passport, you can file an application for a Canada visa.
