From Syria to Canada
Why people move from Syria to Canada
Since 2015 Canada has resettled tens of thousands of Syrian refugees and welcomed many more Syrians through family sponsorship, study and economic programs. Syrian communities have grown quickly in Toronto, Mississauga, London, Hamilton, Ottawa, Montréal and Laval, supported by settlement agencies, Arabic-speaking services and family networks.
Most Syrian files we see today are not resettlement files. They are family reunification, skilled workers applying from the Gulf or Türkiye, students, and Syrians already in Canada moving from temporary status to permanent residence. Each of these paths has different rules, and choosing the wrong one costs years. That is exactly the decision we help you make correctly at the start.
By the numbers

Pathways
Your immigration pathways from Syria
These are the routes applicants from Syria use most, and the ones we assess first in a consultation.
Family sponsorship
The most requested Syrian service: sponsoring spouses, children, parents and grandparents. We build strong relationship and identity evidence even when original documents are hard to obtain.
Express Entry
Syrian professionals working in the Gulf, Türkiye or elsewhere can qualify through Express Entry. Work experience counts wherever it was earned, and refugee status does not block an economic application.
Study in Canada
A study permit, then a Post-Graduation Work Permit, then permanent residence is a realistic multi-year plan for younger Syrian applicants.
Provincial programs
Provincial nominee streams reward in-demand skills and can add decisive points for Syrian candidates who fall short in the federal pool.
Humanitarian & compassionate
For Syrians in Canada without status, H&C applications consider establishment, hardship and the best interests of children. These are complex files that benefit from regulated representation.
Refugee protection
For Syrians already in Canada who fear return, we provide regulated representation for refugee claims and appeals before the IRB.
Documents & Details
Applying from Syria: what to prepare
Every country has its own paperwork realities. These are the ones that matter most for applicants from Syria.
Missing or lost documents
Many Syrians cannot obtain originals from home. IRCC accepts explanations and alternative evidence when they are presented properly. We document the gap instead of leaving it to be refused.
Police certificates
You generally need police records from each country where you have lived since turning 18, including Lebanon, Jordan, Türkiye or Gulf states. We map out exactly which certificates your file needs.
Credentials & translations
Syrian degrees can be assessed for Canadian immigration even when universities are slow to respond. Certified Arabic-to-English translation must be consistent across every document.
Applying from a third country
Living in Lebanon, Jordan, Türkiye or the Gulf does not prevent a Canadian application. Your file is submitted online and assessed on your merits, not your current address.

العربية · Arabic-Speaking
Arabic-speaking consultants for clients from Syria
For Syrian families, immigration paperwork often carries years of separation behind it. Explaining your story in Arabic, clearly and completely, changes the quality of the application. Our Arabic-speaking team works with Syrian clients every week and understands the documents, the gaps and the realities of applying from the region.
Your immigration file is one of the most important decisions you will make. With RA Migration you can discuss every detail in Arabic or English and move forward with confidence. نتحدّث العربية ونساعدك في كل خطوة.

FAQ
Immigrating from Syria: your questions
Yes. Syrians apply to Canadian programs like any other nationality: family sponsorship, Express Entry, study permits and provincial streams all remain open to Syrian citizens. The right path depends on your family ties, skills, language and where you live now.
If you are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you can sponsor your spouse, partner, dependent children and, when the program is open, parents and grandparents. We regularly prepare Syrian sponsorship files, including cases where civil documents are incomplete.
You apply online from wherever you legally reside. Syrians in Lebanon, Jordan, Türkiye, Egypt or the Gulf submit the same applications as anyone else. What matters is proving your identity, history and qualifications correctly.
IRCC understands that some Syrian documents are impossible to obtain. The key is to explain the gap and provide credible alternative evidence. Unexplained missing documents lead to refusals; properly documented ones usually do not.
Yes. We provide regulated representation for refugee claims, appeals and humanitarian and compassionate applications for Syrians in Canada, alongside the full range of economic and family programs.
