Immigration Consultant Victoria

We help you by carefully assessing your eligibility across all Federal and Provincial programs.

Our tailored consultations suggest the best route for your circumstances and why.  We answer your questions and take the guesswork out of immigration.  We share with you the tips and tricks for a successful application.

If you are not eligible today, we tell you step by step what you need to do to become eligible in the future.

Our immigration representation packages include everything you need to submit for a complete and decision ready application.  We partner with you every step of the way, supporting you throughout the process with our experience and expertise to ensure you reach your destination.

Our consultations start at $149 and go up from there depending on the type and complexity of the application.

At Canada Immigration Partners we assess your eligibility across Federal and Provincial and programs and provide practical advice and step by step instructions.

The consultation is the first step in our process to making sure you are eligible to apply and that we can help you.  We don’t take cases where we don’t think there is a good chance of success. 

The cost of hiring an immigration consultant Victoria can vary depending on the complexity and nature of your application. As a general rule, most consultants will charge a flat fee for their services. However, it is important to discuss this with them before you sign up so that you are aware of any additional costs. 

The costs of our full-service representation packages for permanent residency, where we do all the heavy lifting, as your partner, start for as little $3499 and go up from there. 

We believe in being transparent about pricing and list all of the things that affect prices in our price guide.

In a word: yes, but it is by no means essential. Our consultation will provide you with quality information on the steps you need to complete your own application. The people who are successful with completing their own immigration applications tend to have two traits in common:

• They have strong attention to detail;
• They have the time available to complete the work.

Other reasons clients hire us are because they lose the motivation to see the process through or lack the computer skills to submit online applications.

Ultimately, immigration consultants provide value when it comes to navigating Canada’s complicated immigration process. With their knowledge and expertise, they can ensure that your application is completed accurately and promptly, saving you time and money in the long run. They also provide valuable information every step of the way about how to maximize your chances of success. 

Processing times vary depending on the type of application, the processing center you are assigned to and whether it is a paper or online application. 

Another factor is Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) priorities of the day. These shift and change according to politics, lobbying, media pressure and practical necessity.

IRCC have limited capacity to process applications because of the number of trained visa officers.  The volume of applications is consistently high because there are more people that want to immigrate than ultimately can.

All this means that application processing times can, and sometimes will, change from when the application is submitted to when a decision is made.  Making it all the more important to submit a complete and decision ready application in the shortest possible time.

One final important point to note is that processing times are in addition to time needed to complete the visa application. This is one area where we can really help save you time and energy.

In many ways an immigration consultant Victoria and lawyer are similar.  Both are recognized by IRCC as authorized representatives to provide immigration advice and representation. Both are regulated and must carry error and omission insurance and undertake professional development education to maintain their license to practice. 

Consultants tend to charge a flat fee for representation while an hourly rate is a more common billing method with lawyers, though some lawyers also do flat fees.

Lawyers can have a much wider range of practice as their offices often do Family law, Real Estate law or Corporate law.  Whereas Immigration consultants only practice in the field of immigration.

Both lawyers and immigration consultants will often have areas of specialization so it is important to choose a good fit for your circumstances.  Only a lawyer can advocate for you at the Federal Court of Appeal.  

It is important to understand that not all consultants and lawyers are created equally and that you should pick your representative wisely. 

Absolutely!  Victoria has a thriving economy, excellent educational opportunities and is known for its stunning natural beauty. It also has a slower pace of life than nearby Vancouver, making it an ideal destination for those looking for the best of Canada. With plenty of job prospects and a great quality of living, Victoria is a fantastic place to call home. 

Immigrating to Victoria can be a complex process and involves many steps. However, with the help of an experienced immigration consultant, like Miho and myself, you can ensure that your application is accurate and complete and that your chances of success are maximized.

It depends on your individual circumstances and the purpose of your immigration. An obvious example would be that if you intended to move to Victoria to study then you need a Study Permit.

The best route, however, can often be defined as the application type with the least requirements and the fastest application processing time. 

Often when we first speak with someone they are not eligible to apply, so we lay out a roadmap for them to meet the requirements for immigration to Canada.
