Work Permit – CUSMA Professional – June 2023
My experience with Warren Creates and his team has been very positive. Their advice was very helpful in the process of obtaining a work permit as a CUSMA Professional. His expertise led to an efficient and successful outcome in changing my status in Canada as a former diplomat. I will continue to work with Warren and his team as my future endeavours require additional changes to my status.

Canada-Ukraine Authorization for Emergency Travel – March 2022
We are extremely grateful to Warren Creates and the team for helping us to get our visas approved and get to Canada successfully. When Russia launched a full-scale invasion of our country, Ukraine, my partner and I were fortunate to escape to Poland. However, we were eager to reunite with my family in Canada. At first, there were no programs available to help Ukrainians in this situation, so we reached out to Warren and the team to help us apply for Canadian visas. Each step of the way they were ready to help us and answer any questions we had. When the CUAET program was announced, the team reacted quickly and let us know about all the changes. They always made sure to provide us with multiple solutions whenever there were problems. We want to thank Warren’s Legal Assistant Tammy specifically for her timely responses and for being so friendly to us. We would recommend their services to anyone who needs legal advice on immigrating to Canada.

Successful Refugee Claim (Country of Origin: Russia) – October 2020
We highly recommend Mr. Warren Creates and his fantastic team as one of the best in handling Refugee and Immigration cases.
Our case as Refugee claimants from Russia was one of the most complicated and intriguing cases. Most law firms rejected our case and the one lawyer who initially took it on did not know how to solve it. Then we were introduced to Mr. Warren and his team of lawyers and colleagues who made our dream a reality.
His law firm worked on our case meticulously, diligently, tirelessly, and professionally. Their extensive research and commitment to their profession with enthusiasm carried us to the victory line.
I highly recommend Mr. Warren Creates and his law firm for any Refugee and Immigration issues. We are 100% sure of his passion, dedication and professionalism.
Thank you once again for a wonderful job!

COVID-19: Providing Advice on Entry of International Students – September 2020
The field of immigration is a demanding, challenging and often confusing area at the best of times. Given the very difficult circumstances imposed by the current pandemic, immigration law has now reached a new level of complexity. Navigating this new landscape has become even more difficult.
To obtain clear and objective guidance, Stanstead College turned again to Warren Creates, Head of the Immigration Law Group at Perley-Robertson, Hill & McDougall in Ottawa, Canada
Mr. Creates’ exceptional knowledge and expertise brought clarity to the various immigration issues faced by our international students and their families. His professionalism and wisdom were tremendously valuable to everyone. In addition, his calm, reassuring yet decisive advice helped our constituents to understand exactly what they needed to do to realize their immigration goals. He went above and beyond our expectations and we benefitted immeasurably from his effective counsel.
We are tremendously appreciative and grateful for all of the fine work that Mr. Creates has done on behalf of our school, for more than 10 years, and we recommend him without reservation.

COVID-19: Family Reunification – July 2020
“We had been having great difficultly during these times of COVID to have the family members of one of our new senior professionals reunited in Canada. The travel restrictions were proving to be a very big burden. Warren and his team looked at our case immediately as soon as we contacted him. They communicated regularly, meeting our expectations and managing our concerns. They resolved the matter completely, and promptly in very difficult circumstances. The family members have all now arrived in Canada, and have been reunited with our senior member. We are very grateful to his excellent team. They have certainly been very helpful, reassuring, professional and understanding.
Thank you all for this team achievement! We are truly very happy about it.”

COVID-19 Travel Restrictions Exemptions – June 2020
“We are an American company. We do business on both sides of the US-Canada border and have done so for over twenty years. Gaining access to our Canadian customers is critical to us. We have experienced all of the current issues surrounding the “closed border” and the added COVID-19 related restrictions. Despite following all of the rules set forth by the Canadian government, we had issues trying to get our specialized trained technicians into Canada to complete the installation of several large industrial systems that were connected to critical infrastructure and supply chains. During my two separate attempts trying to deal with the issue ourselves, it was clear that at best it was a hit or miss proposition with border crossing. Odd that a US company would need a Canadian immigration lawyer to help us with this issue, but that was the path recommended to me. During the process of researching a suitable candidate to help us through this situation, Warren’s name came up from several high-profile law firms as the expert in this area. I hired Warren to fix a highly time critical problem that we could not overcome on our own: I had sought exemptions under the COVID-19 travel restrictions to get my workers from the United States into Canada to install industrial equipment. Both times we had been unsuccessful. The matter was urgent. Our business had been blocked and critical supply chains were being affected. Warren and his team went to work on our problem immediately and came up with solid solutions. He audited all our paperwork, found areas that needed to be improved, and coached us to get further documents that we had not realized the need for. He was an excellent listener, did exactly what we needed, and did so with the urgency we had requested. We have now had great success: 3 quick approvals as follows. (i) approvals under NAFTA as after-sales service installers; (ii) approvals as essential service providers; and (iii) approvals entitled to exemptions from quarantine. The border is a very tricky and uncertain place, particularly these days. Warren is clearly knowledgeable, experienced and very well-informed in this area. We have been very satisfied. Our business plans have been able to continue. He exceeded my expectations and continually surprised me in the best of ways. Warren is a talented, creative, and dedicated professional. In short, he and his team delivered! We now have a rock-solid precedent that will change our future immigration needs from hit or miss to highly predictable, which is exactly what I asked for of him in our very first conversation. I highly recommend Warren. He has been and will continue to be our go-to on immigration matters that can otherwise be complicated.”

Permanent Residence Application (Express Entry) – October 2018.
I wanted to send a final thank you for all of your hard work and help with regards to my Permanent Residency application. As you know, it appeared I was “stuck” when I first came to you in March. Fast forward 7 months and I’m already back at my desk working as a Permanent Resident and able to watch Brexit unfold from the safety of Canada! You did a great job of explaining the process each step of the way and I really appreciate your patience in answering my many questions. I know I had a tendency to perhaps over analyse each request.
Thank you again for helping me gain my Permanent Residency. If I happen to bump into anyone needing immigration advice I’ll be sure to point them in your direction.
Many thanks,

NAFTA Intra-Company Transfer Work Permits– July 2015
I want to express the gratitude you deserve for the excellent job your team performed assisting our Company achieve work permits for our project at the Vancouver Airport Authority. When I met you two years ago at the U.S. Department of Commerce cross-border trade conference in Watertown, New York, (at which you did an excellent job as a conference presenter), I knew you were a results-driven individual. Results are exactly what you provided Hi-Lite when we asked for 8 work permits to be issued in a very short period of time, enabling us to deliver our Vancouver services. I had previously dealt with various other Canadian immigration lawyers, none who had conducted the work to your high caliber of knowledge and professionalism. Your team and expertise have proven to be a great asset for Hi-Lite and we look forward to working together again.
Thank You!

Professional Sporting Coach Work Permit (Canada)– February 2015
We had a time sensitive need to fill a technical coaching position with a top water polo coach from Europe. Warren and his team completed the job in 2 months. He quarter-backed the strategy from the start and the documents. When our coach appeared at the border, the officer indicated that he would deny the application because he thought that we needed a special document from the Quebec government. Warren and his team were on-call throughout, and intervened on an emergency basis to educate the officer why the work permit should be approved as no Quebec document was needed. After verification of this information, the officer finally agreed. Warren and his team know the rules, and in our case assisted in informing the officer on the Canadian government programs and rules. Our case may not have been approved without this superb support from Warren and his team. They made the difference. We are happy to have Warren and his team in our corner working for us!

Professional Sporting Coach Work Permit (Canada)– January 2015
“Bringing a foreign worker to Canada as a professional sporting coach on a work permit can have its challenges, particularly on short notice. Warren and his team did a wonderful job: from my initial contact with him to the issuance of the work permit was very fast and entirely seamless. He coached us, and he coached our new worker. Warren was highly recommended to us by other national sporting organizations as very knowledgeable in the temporary foreign worker program, and with the nuances for professional sporting coaches and athletes in particular. He can now add Synchro Canada as one of his satisfied customers.”

Cross-Border Employee Transfers, International Experience Canada (IEC) – January 2015
Our global organization has had a long-standing relationship with Warren and his team. They have assisted us with all our immigration needs including employee transfers and new recruits all the while being attentive and thorough throughout the process. They have always done excellent work for us, including recently on a case involving a work permit for a recruit from Ireland. We had thought we would need to use the LMIA temporary foreign worker program, which has its burdens and delays. But Warren and his team found a better, faster, smoother and more successful way to bring our new recruit to Canada using the International Experience Canada (IEC) program. We are very grateful to have such a dedicated team of professionals looking after all our organizational immigration needs.

US National NAFTA Investor, Work Permit (Canada) – January 2015
Warren Creates and his team provided me with excellent advice and services. My case is a NAFTA Investor work permit (American investing in Canada), not very common. Canadian immigration officials do not see many of these applications. I had such permit earlier, but it expired, so when I was coming to Canada again, my request to enter Canada was denied. I hired Warren who intervened while I was at the border, and I was granted entry on the spot. Warren and his team guided me. My new application for a 2-year work permit for my wife and I was approved very quickly by Canadian immigration officials. I highly recommend Warren. He has 29 years of experience doing this specialized work. He is sharp, conscientious, and accessible, has a quick business mind, and gets things done successfully despite hurdles.

We are a start-up technology company based in Ottawa. Recruiting specialized foreign workers, and bringing them to Canada quickly, is critical to our success. Warren and his team have done remarkable work to guide us through the process numerous times, and to make sure that our business plans are on track with visitor visas and work permits. The Canadian government has plenty of immigration rules and policies which Warren and his team are very familiar with.

They are very responsive and attentive to the needs of our business, even available 24-7 if our requirements have been off-hours.

Seminar Presentation to Business Leaders in Watertown, NY – March 2014
Warren is an exceptional Canadian immigration lawyer who gave a superb presentation to our business leaders here in North Central New York State on 18 March 2014, in Watertown, New York. Congressman Bill Owens was present and introduced him. Warren’s topic for our conference was “How to Successfully Get Your Workers into Canada”. He certainly proved his reputation as a noted expert in his field and as a talented presenter. He was engaging and informative, covering the topic thoroughly, using examples throughout, and carefully addressing every question from the attendees. Warren is a pleasure to work with: attentive, reliable, and persuasive. He makes the sometimes challenging immigration rules (including NAFTA) understandable, and is practical in his approach and advice. We couldn’t have been more pleased, and highly recommend that American businesses seeking entry and travel to Canadian markets make use of his expertise.

Canadian Citizenship – October 2013
Moving across the world is never an easy undertaking. Even the decision to leave behind family and a lifetime of friends is a challenge. For me, that decision came in 2003, after I’d worked in Canada for two years. There was no question—I felt in love with the country, the people, the landscape and the way of life. But it came at a cost. I had to go through a lengthy, eight year immigration process without my close knit family by my side. Even so, I did have the best possible people around me. Before meeting Warren Creates and his incredible team at Perley-Roberstson, Hill & McDougall LLP, the road to becoming a Canadian not just in spirit, but on paper, was a daunting task. Through endless interactions with government agents, his team of dedicated professionals guided my every step with authority and solid advice. I am now a wife and mother of four beautiful children and, thanks to Warren Creates, I am proud to say I am Canadian.

Citizenship Application and Appeal – August 2012
“As a United Nations official, I am required to work outside Canada for a substantial number of days each year. Based on your solid arguments and case preparation, I was granted Canadian citizenship by the Citizenship Judge despite the fact that I was seriously deficient of the standard residency requirements. However, the grant of citizenship was appealed by the Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, and I was required to argue my case, to defend my citizenship, in the Federal Court. You prepared strong and convincing arguments that led the judge of the Federal Court to a convincing decision in my favour. You left no page unturned in understanding my case, preparing submissions, and communicating the legal arguments in my favour. You convinced the Citizenship judge and you again convinced the Federal Court judge. You did so in the most positive and energetic manner. You are an honourable man who stands behind his clients until the end. You and your team members worked with our family professionally, amicably, and with much patience during the entire period of preparation/representation. I am sure many others will benefit from your hard work and great professional representation.”
