A Permanent Resident (PR) is someone who has been granted the legal right to live, work, and study anywhere in Canada on a permanent basis.

Express Entry (Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades, Canadian Experience Class)
Provincial Nominee Program (PNP)
Family Sponsorship (spouse, common-law partner, dependent children, parents/grandparents)
Humanitarian & Compassionate Applications
Refugee Claims & Protected Persons
Caregiver Pathways
Agri-Food and Rural Programs

At AMPS Law, we evaluate your eligibility across all available programs and create a custom legal strategy to maximize your chances of success.
