+ Do you only work with people who are immigrating to the maritimes or Atlantic Canada?

Since we are located in Halifax, we’re specialized in provincial nominee programs in the Atlantic provinces. There are more than 80 different immigration programs in Canada, so it’s not possible to know them all. We can also help with Federal immigration programs like the Express Entry or Family Sponsorship applications.

+ I will study in Ontario, can you assist with my study permit application?

Yes, we can! We love to work with international students, and we have a thorough understanding of the application process. We can assist with Study Permit applications to all provinces, except Quebec.

+ Can you help me extend my stay in Canada?

Yes! We can assist with the following applications:
-Visitor status extension
-Study Permit (initial and extension)
-Work Permit (initial and extension)
-Bridging Work Permit
-Restoration of status

+ Why should we retain your services?

Both immigration and visa applications can be quite overwhelming. If you don’t have the time or the language skills to read and understand the requirements for the program or permit you are applying for, the chances of refusal are much higher than hiring the services of a licenced immigration consultant.

Licenced Immigration Consultant is a regulated profession in Canada, which means that people who give immigration advice are authorized by immigration to do so. In addition, they are members of the ICCRC (Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council), which is a country-wide regulatory authority that was created by the Canadian Government to protect consumers who obtain the services of Canadian immigration consultants.
