Wellestein Mora Rodriguez International (WMR) represents both businesses which are newly arrived in Canada, and individuals who are seeking to give a new dimension to their professional lives.<\/p>

WMR is in a position to give counsel, assistance, and representation in the following contexts:<\/p>

\u2022 The transfer of an executive or a skilled worker into a Canadian (Qu\u00e9bec) branch
\u2022 To obtain a work or a study permit in Canada
\u2022 To acquire permanent resident status
\u2022 To become a Canadian citizen
\u2022 To facilitate family reunions<\/p>

Whether it be personal or economic, a successful immigration requires a global vision which will respond realistically to the short term and long term objectives of the client. Many parameters must be taken into account. The team at WMR will evaluate the plans and situation of candidates for immigration before preparing a complete diagnostic strategy which will lead to an informed decision and the putting into place of immigration procedures which are both adequate and well planned.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
