Where I can help
Every case is assessed on its own facts. Below is what I most often work on — if your situation isn’t listed, ask me anyway and I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right person for it.
Specialist areas
01
Study Permits
Initial applications, extensions, changes of institution or level, and refusal reviews. I help you build a clear, well-documented case — including the study plan and proof-of-funds narrative that so often decides the outcome.
- Provincial attestation letters and caps explained
- Extensions and restoration of status
- Reviewing a previous refusal before you reapply
02
Post-Graduation Work Permits
PGWP eligibility hinges on details that are easy to get wrong — programme length, institution designation, field-of-study requirements and timing. We’ll check yours carefully before your window closes.
- Eligibility and field-of-study review
- Timing, deadlines and maintained status
- Planning your next step before the PGWP expires
03
Second Opinions & One-Off Advice
Already have an application in progress, or a refusal you don’t understand? Book a single session to get a clear read on where things stand and what your realistic options are.
- Refusal letter and GCMS notes review
- Document checklist sanity-check
- Strategy session before you commit
04
Express Entry
Profile creation and management across the Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class and Federal Skilled Trades programmes — including CRS review, category-based draws, and the full electronic application after an invitation.
- CRS scoring and improvement options
- Work experience and NOC classification
- Post-ITA document preparation
05
Provincial Nominee Programs
Provincial streams change often and vary widely. I’ll help you identify which provinces you may fit, what each stream actually asks for, and how a nomination would interact with your federal application.
- BC PNP and other provincial streams
- Registration, ranking and invitation rounds
- Coordinating a nomination with Express Entry
06
Work Permits
Open and LMIA-exempt work permits: permits under the International Mobility Program, spousal open work permits, and bridging open work permits that keep you working while a permanent residence application is in progress.
- LMIA-exempt streams under the International Mobility Program
- Spousal and bridging open work permits
- Extensions and changes of employer
Please note: I don’t take on LMIA-based applications.
Also available
07
Family Sponsorship
Sponsoring a spouse or common-law partner, dependent children, or parents and grandparents. These applications turn on evidence and consistency, and I’ll help you assemble a relationship record that speaks for itself.
- Spouse, partner and dependent children
- Inland versus outland considerations
- Parents and grandparents, and super visas
08
Canadian Citizenship
Confirming your physical presence calculation, preparing the application, and knowing what to expect from the test and interview — the last step after a long road.
- Residency calculation and eligibility
- Application preparation and review
- What to expect at the test and ceremony
09
Educational Consulting
Where and what you study is an immigration decision as much as an academic one. After nearly a decade inside Canadian post-secondary institutions — in recruitment, admissions and advising — I help you choose a school and programme with your whole path in view, including how that choice may affect Post-Graduation Work Permit or Permanent Residency eligibility years later.
- Shortlisting schools, programs and study levels
- Understanding how admissions decisions are actually made
- How program choice can widen or narrow PR pathways later
