Whether you’re looking to visit, study or immigrate, there are more than 67 types of programs you can apply through to gain temporary or permanent status in Canada.

First of all, it is important to determine your eligibility. Get started with booking free immigration consultation.
You will be asked to fill out a pre-assessment questionnaire where we will ask questions about your:

• Education
• Language abilities in English or French
• Work experience
• Age
• Nationality
• Family Members
• Arranged Employment in Canada
• Adaptability
• Income and/or New Worth

Next our team will review your profile, and you’ll receive invitation to Initial Consultation, if you qualify for one of the programs. Initial Consultation gives us an opportunity to review your situation in detail to determine the available courses of action and create personalized immigration strategy. If you do not qualify at the moment, it will be still a good idea to proceed with consultation to review the steps you should take to become eligible in near future.

Be prepared to bring documents regarding your current immigration status in Canada (if it applies), and any documents related to the questions you completed in your pre-assessment questionnaire, more specifically regarding language abilities and education.

Each case is unique and a careful evaluation of your particular matter by a qualified immigration consultant is essential.

All information provided by client, as well as assessment results are reviewed in detail by experienced immigration consultant in advance. During our 1-hour consultations we want to help you understand your personalized immigration strategy, eligibility, requirements, next steps, as well as review all the questions you might have.

The greatest thing about our services is that the Initial Consultation fee is fully credited towards future professional fees when you hire us to help with your immigration matters. For example: You paid $100 for 1-hour consultation related to student visa. After our consultation you decided to retain our company to represent you in your study visa application. The cost of service you decided to proceed with it is $750 as an example, since you already paid $150 during consultation, your balance due will be $750-$150=$600.

Another great thing about our services is that aside from traditional in office face-to-face consultations, which require time off work/school, you can take advantage of one-on-one online consultations. Our advanced communication platform will help you to connect with your consultant from the comfort of your home or office anywhere around the world. You save time and money by connecting with us securely and conveniently through your smartphone, tablet or computer.
