See Ottawa in-person optionsMarkham: technology employers and a large newcomer community
Markham hosts one of Canada's densest concentrations of technology employers, and has among the highest proportions of residents born outside Canada of any large Canadian municipality. Both facts shape the paperwork: work-permit and permanent-residence supporting declarations, employment verification affidavits, and invitation letters for family abroad.
Because immigration documents are federal, Markham clients can complete most of this over a video appointment rather than taking time away from work.
Markham's proximity to Toronto Pearson also makes travel documents common here, particularly child travel consent letters for families visiting relatives overseas during school breaks.
Commonly requested in Markham
- Permanent residence and work permit supporting declarations
- Employment verification affidavits
- Invitation letters for relatives applying to visit
- Affidavits of translation
- Common-law union declarations for benefits
