Find your situation, not a program name

Immigration programs have names like "Federal Skilled Worker Class." Nobody thinks in those words, so this page is not organized by them. Pick the situation that sounds like yours — and if your case turns out to be simple enough to do yourself, we will say so.

Inland or outland is strategic, not clerical — it decides work rights, travel, and whether you keep an appeal. Couples who choose by default usually choose wrong.

Led by Minerva McCoon McBean, RCIC R712766, with Fangyu (Faye) Cai, RCIC-IRB R731377. Verify both — and anyone else — on the CICC Public Register.

No idea where you fit? That is what the call is for.

Most people do not arrive knowing their program — they arrive with a situation. Turning it into a pathway is the actual job, and it is what the free 15-minute call is for: in English, Mandarin, Cantonese or French, we tell you which pathways are realistically open, which are closed, and whether you need us at all. Sometimes the honest answer is "file it yourself" — we give that answer often, and it is yours to keep either way.
