Or start from what is in front of you.

Some immigration matters have firm deadlines. Check which one applies before deciding the next step.

Tight window · 90 days from loss of status
My status has expired. Can it still be put right?
Restoration of status may still be open within 90 days of losing it. Whether you qualify depends on the class of status you held, why it lapsed, and the other conditions.
Immigration consultation · from 15 minutes$75
Tight window · 180 days from confirmation
I have just graduated. When do I file for the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP)?
The 180 days run from the day you receive your school’s written confirmation that you completed the program (final transcript or completion letter), not from the date you actually finished.
Immigration consultation · from 15 minutes$75
Assess first · the standard is known
My application was refused. Is anything left to do?
What you do next depends on the refusal reasons, the original application and the rules in force. Further documents, a fresh application, an IRCC reconsideration and other remedies do not carry the same conditions.
Immigration consultation · from 30 minutes$150
Before you file · still room to change it
I have filled it in myself. Is it ready to file?
Before you file, I go through the forms and the portal entries item by item: required fields left blank, answers entered in the wrong place, a step missed in the submission sequence. Once it is filed there is usually far less room to change anything.
Application process review · 1 hour$300
Before you file · opinion and revised draft in 3 business days
Is the NOC classification in my employment letter right?
What the employment letter says about your duties affects which code applies under the National Occupational Classification (NOC), Canada’s official occupational classification. That code affects how a work permit or an Express Entry application treats your work experience. You receive the classification reasoning, a line-by-line comparison, and a revised draft of the letter for the employer to issue.
Document review$150
Time to plan · worth doing first
Do I qualify for permanent residence?
Express Entry, provincial nominee programs and family sponsorship do not share the same requirements. Start with the criteria and how the score is built, then choose a route.
