A planned visit
Discuss the reason for travel, proposed dates, family connections and supporting records. Your circumstances determine which entry documents need assessment.
Canada-wide immigration advice
Visitor visas and stays in Canada
Understand the documents and immigration questions behind your proposed visit or longer stay.
Clear advice and practical next steps
Start with your circumstances.
Staying longer
Tell us where you are now and when your status expires. A visitor visa and permission to remain in Canada are different questions.
A previous refusal
Bring the refusal and the application you submitted. We identify the concerns to address before considering another application.
Make the first conversation useful.
- Passport and current immigration documents
- Purpose and proposed dates of travel
- Invitations and family details, where relevant
- Financial and employment records available
- Previous decisions and status expiry dates
Use the office’s secure sharing instructions for sensitive records. Do not send identity or financial documents through a general enquiry.
Where we can help
Canada-wide immigration advice
Canadian immigration enquiries are welcome from across Canada and abroad. Our office is in London, Ontario. Phone or available Teams consultations can reduce travel; acceptance and scope are confirmed for each matter.
Choose your next step
Discuss your situation with Zia Waseer.
Paid consultations are $150 plus HST for 30 minutes ($169.50 CAD total), or $250 plus HST for 60 minutes ($282.50 CAD total). Choose the duration and available meeting format on the practice page. Further representation is separate.
Before you start.
Is a visa the same as permission to stay indefinitely?
No. Entry documents and your authorised period of stay must be considered separately.
Can you advise about a parent or grandparent visit?
Yes. Explain the planned visit and relationship so we can assess whether a super visa or another route needs consideration.
