GCMS (Global Case Management System) and ATIP (Access to Information and Privacy) Notes are detailed records of your immigration application, including the assessing officer's notes and the reasons for any refusal.

Requesting these notes can provide valuable insight into why your application was declined, which can be incredibly helpful when preparing for a reapplication.

Understanding the officer's perspective allows you to address any issues and improve your chances of success in your next submission.

Requesting GCMS/ATIP Notes involves submitting a formal request to the Canadian government. This process can seem complicated, but we make it simple.

Once you submit the request, it typically takes about 30 to 60 days to receive your notes, but delays can occur depending on the volume of requests. We’ll help you through the entire process, from gathering necessary information to ensuring that the request is filed correctly.

Once the notes arrive, we’ll help you interpret the information, focusing on the key details that will help you strengthen your application for a better chance at approval.

If the GCMS/ATIP Notes indicate that your application was refused due to specific issues (e.g., missing documents, incomplete information, or incorrect forms), it’s not the end of the road. In fact, these notes are your blueprint for improving your application.

We’ll work with you to fix the issues identified, ensuring that all requirements are met before you resubmit your application. With this targeted approach, you’ll have a much better chance of success on your next attempt.

If you have a criminal conviction that makes you inadmissible to Canada, you may need to apply for Criminal Rehabilitation before you are eligible to travel or settle in Canada. This process helps to show that you’ve been rehabilitated and are no longer a risk to Canadian society. We can guide you through this process to help you clear the way for your Canadian immigration goals.

The timeline for Criminal Rehabilitation applications can vary, but typically, it takes 12 to 18 months for your application to be processed. The wait can feel long, but we’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

In the meantime, we’ll help you gather any required documents, such as police certificates or court records, and prepare a strong case that showcases your rehabilitation. With our guidance, you’ll have a clear understanding of what to expect during this time.

When applying for Criminal Rehabilitation, several factors are taken into account, including:

• The nature of the offense: Minor infractions are treated differently than more serious crimes.

• Time passed since your conviction: The longer the time since your offense, the more likely you are to be approved, as it demonstrates your rehabilitation.

• Evidence of rehabilitation: Documents showing that you’ve turned your life around (such as completion of any rehabilitation programs, employment records, or character references) will significantly strengthen your case.

It’s essential to understand that the success of your application hinges on presenting a complete, well-documented case. We’ll help you gather the necessary materials and make sure your application presents you in the best possible light.

In exceptional circumstances, individuals may be eligible to apply for permanent residency in Canada under Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) grounds. This type of application takes into account factors like family hardship, medical needs, or unique personal situations that would cause extreme difficulty if the applicant were forced to leave Canada.

Who qualifies?

Humanitarian and Compassionate applications are not for everyone. To be eligible, you must show that the hardship you would face in returning to your home country is so severe that it outweighs the immigration policies. These applications are often used by individuals with strong ties to Canada, such as family members already here, or those facing medical issues that cannot be addressed in their home country.

If you think your case qualifies, we can help you navigate the complex process and present the strongest application possible.

When applying under Humanitarian and Compassionate grounds, several factors are considered:

• Family ties: Strong connections to Canadian citizens or permanent residents may support your case.

• Hardship: The more severe the hardship you would face if returned to your home country, the stronger your application.

• Medical issues: In some cases, health-related challenges may be grounds for an H&C application, especially if medical care is unavailable in your home country.

• Best interests of children: If you have children in Canada, their well-being and stability may also play a role in your application’s success.

  This type of application requires substantial evidence and compelling arguments.

  We’ll help you build your case to ensure the strongest possible submission.
