No authorized immigration consultant or lawyer will ever guarantee a positive outcome. If someone is guaranteeing you a positive outcome then they are misleading you. The final decision on any outcome is finally that of the IRCC. I do however assure you that I will do my utmost to prepare a strong application for you that gives you the best possible chance to be approved.

Processing times vary based on which immigration service you have applied for; IRCC posts processing times here. It is always advisable to prepare and submit your application well in advance.

It doesn’t matter how many times your application has been rejected, you can always reapply if your situation has changed and you are able to address the reasons for which your application was rejected. It is advisable to obtain your GCMS notes to understand the reasons for refusal.

Yes. If you would prefer to submit any application yourself and need some guidance, I will be happy to help you. You can book consultations as you need them. Rest assured, there will be no pressure to hire my services.

Applying for any of the permanent residency pathways isn’t just about scoring high on the Comprehensive Ranking System although it is an important factor. With more than 60 programs, it is important to ensure that you apply for the program (one or more) that gives you the best chance of success. Another reason is to ensure that you have scored correctly. Many people don’t understand the nuances of the scoring system and the score may not be accurate.

Agents typically get paid commissions by educational institutions to enrol students for their programs so their recommendations may not always be what is best for you. If there is a better suited program for you at a university for which they are not getting a commission, they will not recommend it for you. Many programs have similar names (sometimes identical names!) but are different in many ways. Their curriculum could be different, their elective and mandatory courses could be different, some may offer work integration (co-op or internship), some are reputed for their industry networking, some programs in certain institutions have better laboratory facilities than others, etc. Furthermore, many reputed institutions don’t work with agents (which means your agent is unlikely to recommend their program), and some disreputable institutions give agents high commissions leading agents to recommend these programs even if these programs are not the right fit for you. Even when an agent has the right intentions, they don’t necessarily understand the Canadian employment landscape and cannot provide this information to you. When you are going to be investing 2-4 years of your life, thousands of dollars in tuition and living expenses, and depending on a program to give you the right start for your career and a pathway to residency in Canada, cheap and free advice can prove extremely expensive in the long run. It is better to learn of all your options before you end up in Canada only to realize you are stuck with the wrong program and it is too late or too expensive to make a change. Or worse, get a refusal for your study permit.

There are essentially three options for parents (and grandparents) to come to Canada – visitor visa, super visa and permanent residency. The right option will depend on how long they want to stay, your finances, their health and finances, their dependents, etc. I can help you understand the pros and cons of each option for you to decide which one is best for your parents.
