While you can apply on your own, an RCIC (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant) brings expertise in navigating complex processes, avoiding costly mistakes, and maximizing your chances of approval. An RCIC is licensed and regulated by the CICC to provide immigration advice.

Processing times vary by program. Express Entry typically takes 6-8 months, PNP programs take 12-18 months, and spousal sponsorship takes 12-15 months. Timelines depend on application completeness and IRCC processing volumes.

The Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score is used in Express Entry to rank candidates. It considers age, education, language skills, and work experience. Higher scores increase your chances of receiving an Invitation to Apply (ITA).

It depends on your current immigration status. If you hold a valid work permit, you can continue working. Some applicants may be eligible for a bridging open work permit while awaiting a PR decision.

For your initial consultation, bring your passport, education credentials (degrees, diplomas), language test results (IELTS/CLB), work experience letters, and any previous immigration correspondence. This helps us assess your eligibility accurately.

Express Entry is a federal system that manages applications for three programs (FSW, CEC, FST). PNP allows provinces to nominate candidates who meet specific provincial needs. A PNP nomination adds 600 CRS points to your Express Entry profile, virtually guaranteeing an ITA.
