Top 10 Immigration Questions From Undocumented US Residents for Canada

Can illegal immigrants in the USA get Canada visas or citizenship?

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. Even if you have had long-term undocumented status in the United States, we can still get your visa, residency, and citizenship application approved.

If I am illegal in the USA can I go to Canada? / If I have no visa in USA can I go to Canada?

Yes, people who are illegal in the USA can legally apply for a visa to Canada. The important thing is to be honest about your undocumented status and prior immigration violations. 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.

Who can apply for Canadian visa or residency while illegal in the U.S.?

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.

You may be allowed to have your Canada visa interview in the United States if you are undocumented.

How can I give biometrics if I have no status in the USA?

If you are undocumented in the United States you can still give your biometric fingerprints at the New York and Los Angeles visa offices. If you are in the southern United States or Florida, you may need to travel a great distance to give your Biometrics for your Canada visa application.

Can illegal immigrants in the US go to Canada as legal residents?

Canada is willing to accept Permanent Resident applications from people who have lived and worked illegally in the Untied States. If you have worked hard to build a life but you have no legal status in the USA, please call us to evaluate your chances of being approved for residency in Canada. We have helped many undocumented people with this process.

If your visa expired in the USA and you want to move to Canada, you’re in good company. Hundreds of applicants who have expired study permits and expired visitor visas from the US are approved to come to Canada as students, workers, investors, and permanent residents. If you are out of status in the U.S. or if you overstayed your visa, trust an experienced immigration lawyer to put your best case forward with the Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada.

If I entered the United States illegally, can I apply for Canada?

We often talk to clients who entered the United States illegally, across the Mexico border. Many of these situations involve being brought to America as a child, without having any part in the decision to break the US immigration laws. If you entered the US illegally but you want to enter Canada after following all official immigration rules, we can help you prepare a successful visa application.

I overstayed my visa in USA Can I get a Canadian visa?

If your visa extension was refused in the USA and you had a lapse in status, the Canadian visa officers are willing to consider the entirety of your case.

After spending almost all her life in immigration limbo in the United States, Paras Pizada can finally set down roots and plan for a future … in Canada.

The 27-year-old woman is part of a surge of non-American citizens arriving here legally from south of the border where they’ve faced an increasingly hostile environment since President Donald Trump was elected in 2016.

Canada’s new biometrics visa requirements, however, could prove a deterrent for undocumented migrants in the U.S. who, like Pizada, try to come here legally.

Since January, applicants worldwide must provide fingerprints and have their photos taken at facilities designated by Canadian immigration.

In the U.S., almost all facilities are operated by American immigration officials. Undocumented migrants fear this will put them at risk of arrest and deportation. Indeed, the Canadian immigration website warns biometric applicants that they must be legally in the U.S. to go to a centre.

These biometrics requirements could potentially drive up irregular migration into Canada which has dropped by half to 5,140, between January and May, compared to the same period last year.“Since these people can’t get fingerprinted to apply for Canadian work permits and study permits legally, they will all just walk across the border. Ottawa has made it impossible for the majority of undocumented U.S. residents who want to apply legally for Canada to do so,” said Ontario-based immigration lawyer Vanessa Routley.
