Questions people ask
Can I book from outside London?
Yes. Ask about phone or video appointments.
Will a consultation guarantee approval?
No. We assess the information available and explain your options, risks and next steps.
Can you take over a file already in progress?
Ask about availability, and tell us the stage and any deadlines. We confirm acceptance and scope separately.
How do I apply for permanent residence in Canada?
First, confirm your eligibility based on factors like work experience, language ability, education and family in Canada. Then prepare the required documents, apply through the right stream (such as Express Entry, family sponsorship or a Provincial Nominee Program) and wait for a decision from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). We guide clients through each step so the application is complete and filed on time.
How long does a work permit take?
It depends on the type of permit, where you apply from and the stream. Processing can take from a few weeks to several months. Check current IRCC processing times before you plan travel or a start date.
Should I hire a lawyer for spousal sponsorship?
Many couples do. We help you meet the sponsorship requirements, prepare supporting documents and deal with issues before they become obstacles.
Can a lawyer help after a visa refusal?
Yes. A lawyer can assess the reasons for refusal, advise on your options and represent you in a fresh application, an appeal or a judicial review in the Federal Court. Deadlines for review are short, so act quickly.
What is Express Entry?
Express Entry is Canada’s system for managing permanent residence applications from skilled workers. It is points-based, assessing factors like age, education, work experience and language skills. Eligible candidates enter a pool and may receive an invitation to apply (ITA). We help you build your profile and understand your CRS score.
How do I renew my PR card?
Apply to IRCC with proof that you meet the residency obligation (at least 730 days in Canada in the past five years), updated photos and the government fee. We help prepare the application and gather the documents.
How much does an immigration lawyer cost?
It depends on the complexity of your case and the application. Some matters have a set fee; others, such as refugee claims or judicial reviews, may be billed hourly. We give you a written fee estimate before you retain us.
