Why it matters

Three mistakes that cost applicants years

Most delays and refusals start with avoidable errors. Here are the three we see most.

Wrong or missing information

False or missing facts on a form can make you inadmissible for misrepresentation. The ban is five years. Read our misrepresentation guide.

Waiting too long

Age points fall as you get older, and language test results expire after two years. A clear plan now keeps your options open.

The wrong adviser

Only licensed consultants (RCICs), lawyers and some other regulated professionals can represent you. Check any consultant on the CICC register before you pay.

FAQ

Questions before you book

Fees depend on your route and the complexity of your file, so we start with a $200 Strategy Consultation instead of a vague quote. In 30 minutes Amir reviews your file and gives you a written strategy with a clear fee. The $200 is credited to your retainer if you proceed.

Yes. IRCC does not require a consultant. But the evidence rules differ by route, and many refusals come from files that look complete but miss one requirement. A consultation shows you where you stand before you decide.

Amir holds an active RCIC licence, R412319, from the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). You can check it on the CICC public register before you pay. We encourage you to check any consultant, including us.

IRCC sets processing times, and no consultant can guarantee a decision date. What we control is preparation: complete, consistent files avoid delays. You get a realistic timeline in your consultation.

Yes. We handle refusals, procedural fairness letters and complex histories often. A refusal narrows your margin for error but does not close every route. If we cannot improve your outcome, we will tell you. See our refusals and inadmissibility guide.

Amir reviews and signs off every file. Our team helps with document collection and coordination.

We are based in Toronto, with offices in Dubai and Karachi. We advise clients in Canada and around the world by video call.

Waiting is a choice with consequences: age points fall, language results expire after two years and permit dates run out. A 30-minute consultation tells you where you stand.
