Virtual Consultations and Review of Your File before Submission - the less expensive option

I provide an initial virtual consultation to initiate your sponsorship, immigration, and citizenship files to start the process and advise you how to proceed. The virtual consultation is followed up with a detailed summary email.

Then you may complete your own data entry into your file, upload the required documents and thereafter I can provide a thorough review of your completed file in the portal prior to your submission of your file.

 

Citizenship confirmation by descent

Do you have a grandparent, great grandparent who is or was a Canadian citizen? I can assist you to apply for confirmation of your citizenship through an application for a citizenship certificate.

 

Spousal Sponsorship & Family Reunification

If you are Canadian or a Permanent Resident married to or living in a common-law relationship with a foreign national, you may sponsor your spouse. There are two categories of spousal sponsorships and it is important to select the one that is best for your particular circumstances.

 

Procedural Fairness Letters

Preparation and submission of written explanatory submissions to address concerns raised by an immigration officer regarding aspects of your submitted application / file.

 

Request an administrative / reconsideration review

I will assist you in preparing a request for an administrative reconsideration / review for a denied application if there was an overlooked document or written explanation or an error of law or fact made by the immigration agent.
