Whether you're bringing family together or bringing talent onto your team, you'll get clear advice and a carefully prepared application.
For individuals & families
Whether you're sponsoring your partner, extending a visit, or fixing status that has lapsed, I'll walk you through every step.
For employers & professionals
Hiring from abroad, or keeping a skilled worker on your team? I handle the immigration side so you can focus on running your business.
15 to 20 minutes to understand your situation and confirm I can help, before you spend anything.
One hour to review your options and eligibility, and map out a clear strategy.
Your fee, the scope of work, and next steps are set out in writing before any work begins.
I prepare and submit your application, and keep you updated until a decision is made.
Professional fees in Canadian dollars. Ranges reflect how complex a file is, and your exact fee is confirmed in writing before any work begins.
Every engagement starts with understanding your situation. These are the ways we can begin working together.
A short call to understand your situation and confirm I'm able to help, before you spend anything.
An in-depth review of your options, eligibility, and a clear strategy for how to move forward.
A written opinion on whether your job qualifies for a work permit under a trade agreement such as CCFTA or CPTPP.
Extending a visit, switching to visitor status, or fixing status that has already lapsed.
For visitors extending their stay in Canada, or anyone switching into visitor status while their current status is still valid.
For status that has already lapsed, filed within the 90-day window IRCC allows for restoration.
Multiple family members on one file, or a lapse tied to a refusal that needs to be argued on the merits.
Per extra applicant added to a multi-applicant restoration file.
A visitor visa application for someone applying from outside Canada.
Sponsoring a spouse or partner for permanent residence in Canada.
Married couples with a straightforward relationship history and no admissibility concerns.
Common-law or conjugal relationships, a criminal record that needs addressing, or a prior refusal to overcome.
Bundled with a sponsorship application already underway.
Employer-based, trade agreement, LMIA-supported, and vulnerable worker permit applications.
End-to-end support for employers and workers: meeting the recruitment and advertising requirements, preparing the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) application to ESDC, and, once the LMIA is approved, the worker's work permit application.
For professionals and technicians qualifying under Canada's trade agreements with Chile, Peru, and other partner countries.
Where your role needs restructuring to fit the treaty's occupation list, or more than one strategy is in play.
For workers experiencing abuse who need to leave their employer and remain authorized to work in Canada.
For a spouse applying for their own open work permit on the same file.
For a dependent applying as a visitor rather than a worker.
These are professional fees only. GST/HST and IRCC government fees (application processing, biometrics, and similar) are billed separately, at cost, and itemized so you always know where your money is going.
Ranges reflect how complex a file is. Your exact fee is confirmed after your consultation and set out in a written service agreement before any work begins.
Trade-agreement and vulnerable worker permits are specialized areas without an established market rate. These prices reflect the complexity of the work itself, not a number pulled from a generic price list.
About Lisa
I was born in Calgary, and after many years living in some amazing places, I now call Calgary home once again. I hold a BA in Political Science from the University of Calgary and a Master's in International Relations from the University of Glasgow. Before completing the Graduate Diploma in Immigration and Citizenship Law at Queen's University, I dipped my toe into the world of Canadian immigration by sponsoring my own spouse from Costa Rica.
Deciding to leave your home country and immigrate abroad is a very personal and sometimes difficult decision. As an RCIC, my goal is to give everyone who wishes to come to Canada the best and most complete application possible.
I believe everyone deserves a considered consultation and a well-prepared application. That belief shapes how I work: honest advice about your options, clear fees in writing, and careful preparation from start to finish.
Everyone, and I do mean everyone, deserves a considered consultation and a well-prepared application.
