While in Canada on a working holiday visa, Ms. K decided — with the help of her kind and thoughtful common-law partner — to apply for permanent residence through the Family Class. Permanent residence applications have long processing times and can easily cause anxiety, but her consultant, Ms. Gould, guided the application through with careful support. Permanent residence was approved, and she has taken a big step into a new life in Canada.

Key Points from the Consultant
We assisted Ms. K with her 2024 working holiday visa and now with this Family Class permanent residence application; I handled the permanent residence application myself.
Ms. K had always hoped to settle permanently and had at one point been pursuing an economic immigration route on her own, but in the end her partner sponsored her and she was able to obtain permanent residence through the Family Class!
I remember thinking how kind and considerate both Ms. K and her partner are, and what a good match they make. A common-law application requires a lot of additional documents, so gathering everything must have been hard work, but once filed it moved straight through to approval, which was a relief.
