Common questions

What people ask on the first call

How much does a consultation cost and what is included?

An initial consultation costs $180 plus applicable provincial taxes. The consultation fee is separate and is not deducted from the cost of permanent residence application services. The format and payment details are agreed when booking.

Can I apply on my own, without a consultant?

Yes, nothing prohibits it, and in many straightforward cases it is the sensible choice. A consultant matters where there is a complicating factor: a previous refusal, a gap in status, a criminal record, a medical issue, a complex family situation, or a competitive program where a mistake costs a year of waiting.

What is the MPNP and would I qualify?

The Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program is the province’s own selection of candidates, with separate streams: for graduates of local institutions, for people already working in the province, and for overseas applicants with a demonstrated connection to Manitoba. Eligibility differs from federal Express Entry programs, so each Manitoba pathway should be checked on its own terms.

Do you work with clients outside Winnipeg?

Yes. We work with clients in Canada and abroad, excluding Quebec and Saskatchewan. Contact us to discuss a suitable consultation format.

Do you guarantee the outcome?

No. Immigration decisions are made by IRCC. A consultation helps you discuss your situation, the documents needed and possible next steps.
