Remaining in Canada without a valid status whether due to an expired permit, a refusal, or a lapse in compliance places individuals at risk of removal proceedings, inadmissibility findings, and long-term bars to re-entry. However, the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act (IRPA) and Regulations (IRPR) provide legal mechanisms for affected individuals to regularize their status, respond to enforcement concerns, and continue residing in Canada under specified conditions.
At VM Immigration Services, we provide legally sound and strategically structured representation for clients facing complex immigration status issues. Our services are rooted in statutory interpretation, policy analysis, and procedural fairness principles, ensuring each submission is aligned with Canadian immigration law and jurisprudence.
