Berezowski Business Immigration Law
also provides expertise to less traditional families- common-law
partners and conjugal partners in opposite and same sex relationships.
Canadian law recognizes same-sex marriages and Canadian immigration
benefits are not limited to traditional marriages. There are
several ways that married and unmarried same-sex couples can
benefit from Canada's immigration laws:
Partners can often accompany a foreign
student or foreign worker to Canada for the duration of
the student or worker's stay and obtain ‘Open’
Work Permits for the duration of the stay;
Canadian citizens and permanent residents
can often sponsor their partner to become a permanent resident
of Canada, they cannot be refused due to low income;
Partners living in Canada with a Canadian
citizen or permanent resident can often become Canadian
permanent residents without leaving Canada; and
Skilled workers and others immigrating
to Canada as permanent residents may obtain immigrant visas
for their partners.
We have successfully handled many
same-sex, common-law and conjugal cases. Please see the related
