How long will my application take?

Processing times vary depending on the program, your location, and IRCC workloads. We’ll provide an estimated timeline after reviewing your case.

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes. We work with clients across Canada and internationally via phone, video call, and secure online document sharing.

What languages do you provide services in?

We offer services in English, Punjabi, Hindi, and Urdu to make communication easier for our clients.
