The U.S. and Canadian immigration systems may sound similar, but they work very differently.

Andy Semotiuk from Pace Law Firm explains that the U.S. system is more employment-driven, while Canada places more emphasis on trade, labour market needs, and more humane pathways.

Jay Treaty issues can be particularly difficult for Métis applicants.

Pace Law Firm lawyer Michael O’Rourke explains how U.S. authorities may require a blood quantum letter and may rely on older recognition lists that do not include many Métis nations. That can create major barriers, even where the person is recognized in Canada.

Humanitarian parole can sometimes provide a path to urgent entry to the U.S., but it is highly discretionary and requires strong supporting evidence.

Pace Law Firm lawyer Michael O’Rourke explains how these applications may be made, why decision-makers will want to know why the person should not wait for a visa, and why serious illness and access to treatment can be major factors.

There have been recent changes to Canada’s immigration rules under Bill C-12 that may affect who can make a refugee claim.

If someone is found ineligible, it can feel overwhelming. But in many cases, it does not mean there are no options left.

Depending on the situation, there may still be other paths to explore, such as risk-based protection, humanitarian applications, or other immigration options.

Every situation is different, and the next steps are not always obvious. Getting the right advice early can make a meaningful difference.

If you or someone you know may be affected, the Pace Immigration team is here to help you understand what may still be available.

Many people do not know that they may be able to make a refugee claim at the airport or border when arriving in Canada.

Emmilianys Perez at Pace Law Firm explains that refugee claims are different from regular immigration applications. The focus should be on paperwork, the person’s story, the threat they believe they face, and the basis of that fear.

Just because you get divorced doesn’t automatically mean you’re no longer responsible for the sponsorship.

Michael O'Rourke, lawyer at Pace Law Firm, explains that if you’ve already committed to sponsoring your spouse and the process has advanced, you may still remain responsible under the undertaking for a set number of years, and it may not be straightforward to withdraw from that obligation once it is in place.
