Humanitarian & Asylum Cases in Canada
At CanVisas, we understand that every immigration story is unique and often comes with significant challenges. Our Humanitarian and Asylum services are designed to offer legal refuge and a new opportunity in Canada to those facing extraordinary and difficult circumstances in their home countries, or who find themselves in vulnerable situations within Canada.
Open Work Permits for Special Situations
In addition to direct protection, we also assist individuals already in Canada who are facing situations that compromise their well-being or their ability to support themselves.
Open Work Permit for Vulnerable Foreign Workers
If you are a temporary worker in Canada and are experiencing abuse in your workplace (such as physical, psychological, or financial abuse, exploitation, or unsafe working conditions), we can help you apply for an open work permit. This permit allows you to leave your abusive employer and seek new employment for your protection, without losing your immigration status.
Open Work Permit for Destitute International Students
Under certain circumstances and specific public policies, international students facing severe and unforeseen financial hardship may be eligible for an open work permit. This would allow them to work more hours or outside standard restrictions to support themselves and continue their studies in Canada. We assess your situation to determine if you meet the eligibility criteria.
What do our services include?
We specialize in protecting and guiding those who need to remain in Canada for compelling humanitarian reasons, seek international protection, or require special support for their work or student situation.
If you fear for your safety in your home country due to persecution, violence, or conflict, we assist you in the preparation and submission of your asylum claim. Our expert team will guide you through the complex legal process, ensuring that your case is presented with the utmost clarity and strength possible before the Canadian authorities.
For individuals who do not qualify under other immigration categories but possess strong ties to Canada or face extreme hardship if returned to their home country. We help build a solid case based on your personal circumstances, your establishment in Canada, and the impact your deportation would have on your life and that of your loved ones.
We work to ensure that those seeking refugee protection in Canada receive proper representation. This includes preparation for hearings, gathering evidence, and navigating the processes of the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB).
