Our Canadian Immigration team supports employers seeking to recruit or retain international talent while helping you comply with Canada’s immigration laws.

Leadership
As a national practice with locations in five of Canada’s major centres, we deliver locally while connecting with EY resources across the country to help provide high-quality, client-focused service. We deliver our services using consistent processes to provide you with predictability in our approach to Canadian immigration matters, from eligibility assessment through to process overview, collection of documents, preparation and submission of applications to government authorities, and properly responding to labour market impact assessment (LMIA) and work permit-related inspections.
We focus exclusively on business immigration, meaning that we can take the necessary actions to stay current with the latest Canadian immigration trends, policies and leading practices through regular submissions to Canadian authorities, active involvement with professional associations such as the Canadian Bar Association, National Citizenship and Immigration Section and government liaison activity. We also offer thought leadership through newsletters and journal publications and as regular speakers at immigration conferences.
Understanding the nature of our clients’ businesses and industry practices is important to us. Whether you operate in the area of natural resources, financial services, communications, transportation, information technology, digital media, life sciences, manufacturing or any other sector, we can assist in demystifying Canadian immigration requirements. We work with a cross-section of industries and can offer advisory services that are specific to your business needs, including policy development, due diligence for corporate transactions, internal compliance audits and process improvement. Focus areas include temporary resident visas, work permits, LMIAs, employer compliance, permanent residence and citizenship matters.
