Canada welcomes millions of temporary residents each year — workers, students, visitors, business travelers, and family members. But immigration rules change frequently, and a single missing document or unclear explanation can lead to refusal or long processing delays.
At Provenance Law, we help clients secure legal authorization to work, study, or visit Canada through accurate applications, strong supporting documentation, and clear guidance from start to finish. Whether you are applying for the first time, extending your status, or addressing a refusal, we ensure your case is prepared with the precision IRCC requires.
