Services Offered by Matkowsky Immigration Law

Inadmissibility

Matkowsky Immigration Law assists clients with inadmissibility problems that delay their entry into the nation or have an impact on their permanent status. Criminal histories, health issues, fraud, failure to fulfill residency requirements, connections to organized crime, security issues, or abuses of human and international rights can all lead to inadmissibility.

The company collaborates with clients to find solutions to these challenges. Depending on the situation, considered rehabilitation, criminal rehabilitation, or a temporary residence permit are possible remedies for criminal inadmissibility. In addition, the firm offers advice to people who are supporting a spouse who is illegal due to criminal activity.

Cases involving misrepresentation are handled by sending judicial reviews to contest bans or replying to PFL. Medical inadmissibility can be addressed by reapplying under expert advice or by providing thorough answers to PFL. The team examines each case's facts to identify the best possibilities for additional forms of inadmissibility.

The attorneys assist clients in overcoming obstacles to admission or residence by providing them with clear guidance and practical assistance throughout the procedure. Matkowsky Immigration Law, which has experience with complicated cases, focuses on identifying the most workable and efficient options for each individual, making sure that clients receive careful consideration at every stage.

Procedural Fairness Letters

Matkowsky supports clients in replying to immigration authorities' Procedural Fairness Letters (PFLs). A PFL is a formal notification that expresses concerns about an application and offers the applicant one opportunity to reply before rejection. It's important to respond appropriately because a poor response might lead to rejection, inadmissibility, or suspension.

Inquiries concerning the sincerity of connections in spousal sponsorships, medical inadmissibility, misrepresentation, criminal inadmissibility, errors in Express Entry applications, and security concerns are just a few of the many issues for which the business handles PFLs. Inconsistent information may need to be clarified, extra proof may be required, or past visa rejections may need to be explained. Matkowsky also helps with complicated cases when a family's application may be impacted by criminal activity or deception.

With a wealth of knowledge, the firm helps clients navigate the procedure by writing thorough answers and obtaining the required supporting documentation. Matkowsky supports clients in safeguarding their applications, preventing rejections, and confidently navigating the immigration process by attentively and properly handling the issues brought up in a PFL.

Residency Obligations

Permanent residents are assisted by Matkowsky Immigration Law in fulfilling their residency requirements in order to keep their status. Every five years, permanent residents must spend a minimum of 730 days, or two years, in Canada. If this condition is not met, one may lose their status as a permanent resident and be declared ineligible.

When applying for a PR travel document, renewing a PR card, or reentering the nation at a border or airport, residency is examined. The five-year period is calculated backward from the review date for those who have had permanent residency for longer than five years. The period is advanced from the beginning of residency for residents who have less than five years of status.

Residency days can be earned in a variety of ways and do not need to be consecutive. Time spent abroad while traveling with a Canadian citizen or permanent resident spouse, traveling with a parent as a child, or working full-time for a Canadian corporation or the Public Service of Canada are all included. It offers advice to assist clients in monitoring and fulfilling residency requirements, making thoughtful travel plans, and safeguarding their status as permanent residents. The company provides helpful guidance and tactics to deal with difficulties and guarantee adherence to immigration regulations.
