How we help
- 1
Assess honestly
These applications are decided at the officer's discretion and succeed only on strong facts. We tell you plainly whether yours is one.
- 2
Tell your story well
We turn your history into a clear, organised submission: how you settled, who depends on you, and what you would lose.
- 3
Back it with evidence
Letters, school and medical records, tax history and country conditions, each tied to a point in your submission.
- 4
Keep status in view
We watch your permit dates so the application does not leave you without status along the way.
What to bring to your first session
- Proof of time in Canada (leases, pay records, tax returns)
- Records for children: school, doctors, activities
- Letters from employers, community members and faith or volunteer groups
- Any documents showing risk or hardship in your home country
Common questions
Is approval guaranteed?
No. Nobody can promise it. We will show you the factors an officer weighs and where your file is strong or thin.
How long does it take?
It is often one of the slower applications. We give you the current waiting time at your consultation, and you can see published times on our processing times page.
Can I work in the meantime?
That depends on your current status and what has been filed. We map it out before you apply.
