As a small editor who has worked in the office of a member of parliament for two years, he is often asked about immigration. Today, Canada’s immigrants/study students will come to talk about what Canadian lawmakers can do for you at the immigration level.

First, let's take a look at the Canadian legislature and Canada's parliamentary democracy. The federal parliament is a bicameral system consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives. The senator is not appointed by the Federal Chancellor through elections. Members of the House of Representatives are elected by voters in their respective constituencies.

Second, let's take a look at government agencies. The government of Canada is divided into three levels, namely the federal, provincial and municipal governments, each of which is responsible for managing all kinds of related matters, without mutual interference but mutual cooperation. The federal government mainly manages foreign affairs, taxation, immigration, human resources and other matters at the federal level. The federal congressman is also referred to as the MP (Member of Parliament).

Since the Canadian Immigration, the Department of Refugees and Citizenship (IRCC) is part of the federal government, and some of the immigration cases belong to the federal level, then the help of federal parliamentarians seeking this area is also within the scope of reason and work.

How to seek help from members of Congress?

When you have information about a member, you can communicate with them by mail, phone, letter, appointment, etc. The congressional office of a congressman usually has a staff member specializing in immigration cases. It is mainly responsible for following up with the IRCC and relevant departments to exchange and resolve urgent or complex cases. For example, due to illness and other reasons, urgent entry and exit, human sympathy and time sensitivity There is no need to deal with such cases.

Usually, members of Congress are willing to help their voters to invite family and friends to visit relatives. If there are friends who are rejected or suspected, they may visit the office of the council to seek their support and help.

Case 1: Xiao Zhang immigrated to Canada a few years ago. He has not been naturalized in order to return to China. He has submitted an application for the renewal of Maple Leaf Card not long ago. It still takes more than three months to process. Suddenly, his father in China is suffering from a stroke and is admitted to the hospital. Zhang hurriedly took a leave of absence from the company for two weeks and booked the ticket back to the country for care. We asked Xiao Zhang to prepare the information in advance and submit the application for temporary travel documents to the local visa center upon arrival in China. With our follow-up and joint efforts, the visa officer expedited the case within three days after receiving the application, more than a week later. Xiao Zhang’s father was better off the hospital and Xiao Zhang went back to work.

Case 2: Xiaobai and his parents have been living for many years and have a stable life. They hope to apply for a sister to visit. They don’t want to visit their relatives three times. We invite the small white mother’s 70th birthday and invite the office to present a birthday congratulatory letter and support letter. The applicant, Xiaobai and his parents provided invitation and explanation letters. The family doctor proved that the parents' body is not suitable for long-distance flights, and other funds and other documents, finally dispelling the visa officer's doubts and successfully obtaining a visa to visit relatives.

Reminder: The publication time of the IRCC official website is the average processing time. The case will be different and the time will be slightly changed. If your case is in the process of normal handling and you don't need to interfere too much to prevent the progress of the case, it is recommended to wait patiently.
