A decisive step in many plans to settle, invest or build a career in Canada, immigration calls for a strategy suited to each applicant’s situation.
BDG Lawyers/Avocats acts for foreign nationals who wish to come to Canada to study, work, start a business, invest or settle. The firm also advises Canadian companies and international groups seeking to recruit or transfer foreign workers, in their dealings with the federal and Québec authorities.
Our team acts in particular on:
Temporary work permit applications under the International Mobility Program that are exempt from a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), notably for entrepreneurs and self-employed workers, intra-company transferees, professionals and investors covered by an international agreement, and under Francophone Mobility
Québec business immigration programs, notably the Entrepreneur Program, in its streams for starting or taking over a business, as well as the Investor Program
International Experience Canada programs, notably the Young Professionals category
Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), Québec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) and work permit applications
Study permit and post-graduation work permit applications
Permanent residence programs specific to Québec as well as those offered elsewhere in Canada, notably through the federal Express Entry system

Beyond identifying the appropriate program, we build a tailored strategy with you, taking account of your profile, your objectives, the applicable processing times, the costs, the intended place of establishment and the requirements specific to your project.
Our support covers the whole process, from the preliminary assessment through to following the application, by way of preparing the file and presenting it to the competent authorities.
