With Anasse Boulbaroud, RCIC #R706303
What it is
Citizens of many countries need a visitor visa (temporary resident visa) to come to Canada. Others need only an electronic travel authorization (eTA).
We confirm what you need, prepare the application with you and help you show your reason for visiting, your funds and your ties to home. We also handle extensions for visitors already in Canada.
Who it's for
- You want to visit family or friends in Canada.
- You're travelling for business meetings or a conference.
- You were refused a visitor visa and want to apply again.
- You're in Canada and want to extend your stay as a visitor.
What you get
- A written service agreement with the scope, the fee and the timeline.
- Your own access to Lexova, the client portal we use, one of the most advanced client portals for immigration files (see how it compares): forms tailored to your case, a personalized document checklist, progress tracking and secure messages, so your file stays accurate and complete and is easy for you and your consultant to follow.
- A check of whether you need a visa or an eTA.
- A review of your invitation letter, funds, employment and travel history.
- A clear letter of explanation about your trip and your ties to home.
- Submission to IRCC as your declared representative, and follow-up until the decision.
What it doesn't include
- Government fees: the visa fee and biometrics.
- Travel bookings, travel insurance or your host's invitation letter.
- Parent and grandparent super visas, which are part of our family sponsorship service.
- No guarantee: IRCC decides, and a border officer decides on entry.
How it works
- Consultation
We look at your situation and confirm that this service fits before you commit to anything.
- Service agreement and file opening
You get a written agreement with the scope, the fee and the timeline. At signing you pay 50% of the fee, the file-opening fee. It covers opening your file, setting up your client portal and administrative onboarding, and it's non-refundable.
- Your Lexova client portal
You work in Lexova, the client portal we use, one of the most advanced client portals for immigration files (see how it compares). You complete forms tailored to your case, upload documents to your personalized checklist, follow your file's progress and exchange messages and documents securely. It keeps your file accurate and complete, and makes tracking and file management easy for you and your consultant.
- Preparation
Once your forms and documents are complete, we review everything and prepare the application with you. For most standard applications this usually takes about 3 business days; complex files take longer.
- Second payment
When the application is ready, we send you the invoice for the remaining 50%.
- Submission
Once it's paid, we submit your application to IRCC as your declared representative.
- Follow-up until the decision
We follow your file, answer requests for documents or information, and keep you informed until a decision is made.
Processing times are set by the government and change often. For current estimates, see IRCC's processing times page.
What to prepare

- The purpose of your trip: an invitation letter, an itinerary or an event registration.

Questions
Do I need a visa or an eTA?
It depends on your passport and how you travel. We check this first. If you only need an eTA, you can apply on IRCC's website yourself.
How long can I stay?
A border services officer sets the length of your stay when you arrive, usually up to 6 months.
My visa was refused. Can I apply again?
Yes, usually right away. It helps to understand the reasons first: we can request the officer's notes and address them in a new application.
No one can guarantee an immigration outcome. Decisions are made by IRCC, ESDC, the provinces and Québec.
