How we help

Immigration rules evolve quickly. We stay on top of the details so your application is organized, accurate, and persuasive. Our team:

  • maps your options (temporary stay, permanent residence, appeals, or judicial review);
  • builds a tailored document plan and forms strategy;
  • manages deadlines and communications with IRCC/CBSA/IRB; and

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQ About Immigration Law

Get answers to the most common questions about immigration law services and legal options

Do I need a lawyer or an immigration consultant?

You are not required to hire a representative, but many people choose to. If you do, make sure they are authorized (lawyers regulated by a Canadian law society, or licensed consultants). We're happy to explain how we work so you can decide what's right for you.

Can you guarantee a visa or an approval?

No one can guarantee an approval. We provide a candid assessment, prepare strong applications, and keep you informed. Outcomes depend on eligibility, evidence, and IRCC decision-making under current law and policy.

How long will my case take?

Processing times vary by program and country, and they change over time. We'll give you a planning timeline and monitor updates.

I've been refused—can you help?

Often, yes. Depending on the case, options include a new or corrected application, a request for reconsideration, an appeal to the IAD, or judicial review in Federal Court. We'll advise on the best route after reviewing your refusal and file history.

Can you help if I'm outside Canada?

Yes. Because immigration is federal, we represent clients across Canada and internationally. We meet by video or phone and use secure e‑signing and document sharing.

What documents will I need?

It depends on the program, but typical items include IDs and civil status documents, education/work proofs, language test results, police certificates, and evidence of funds. We'll provide a tailored checklist for your situation.
