How We Work

Get our expertise and professional services in the way that works best for you. From a 30-minute Consultation to Full-Service Representation, we are here to simplify, clarify, and help get you where you're trying to go.

LEVEL ONE

Paid Consultation

$150/$250

Book a Consultation
This is the simplest way to begin working with us.

We offer both 30-minute and 60-minute prepaid appointments, available over the phone, through Zoom, or in-person at our office in downtown Vancouver.  No strings attached, no representation forms, just straightforward expert advice.

Our promise is that you will leave every appointment with conclusive answers to your questions, a clear sense of direction and an action plan that you can follow to get where you're trying to go.

Basic Consultations are 30-minutes in length and are best used for going through a list of your questions, finding out which options are available to you, discussing general application processes and feasibility, and to get a general assessment of your situation.

Advanced Consultations are 60-minutes in length and are for more substantial matters, including documentation and application reviews, and to discuss complex situations.

Booking for both is done through Acuity Scheduling. Payment is taken at the time of booking and we require a 24-hour cancellation notice.

LEVEL TWO

Guided Retainer

$250/hour

See More
Get on-demand help, without representation.  Perfect for DIY support.

Our Guided Retainer is as straightforward as it gets.  We keep track of all time spent working with you on your file and just charge you a simple pro-rated hourly rate.  Think about it like a "pay-per-use" plan.

This is a great way to work with us if you're self-represented.  You will have access to our expert advice and consultation on an on-going basis, including email support, documentation review and scheduled review sessions to help keep you on track.  We will be providing input, advice and guidance along the way, but we won't be able to represent your file or act on your behalf with IRCC.

Or, if you're a Canadian company with on-going immigration issues within your organization and you'd like to have someone just an email or phone call away to provide clarification and guidance for all issues as they arise, working with us through a Guided Retainer is a simple and easy way to keep things in order.

Guided Retainers are billed at a pro-rated hourly rate of $250.00/hour, and we bill only for actual time spent working with you on your file.  For example, if you have a total of 1 hour and 40 minutes on the clock with us between emails, phone calls and a documentation review, you'll receive a bill for just $416 + GST.  And that's it.

To get started, we take an initial payment of $250.00 and you'll need to complete a simple one-page Limited Scope Retainer Agreement with us through Adobe Sign.

LEVEL THREE

Fixed Fee

To start working with us through a Full-Service Retainer, you will first need to schedule a Basic Consultation with us to confirm your eligibility and to discuss fees and a timeline.  We will credit the cost of any Basic Consultation towards your Full-Service Retainer.
