For clients who want professional oversight while staying in control of their own application, our Guided Application Review for an Express Entry profile starts at $750, and the full post-ITA application review is $2,100. If you prefer to have us manage everything, profile creation, CRS strategy, IRCC portal, submissions, and all follow-up, Full Care Representation starts at $1,500 for profile creation and $4,500 for the post-ITA full file. All fees are in Canadian dollars and exclude 13% HST, as well as government processing fees, biometrics ($85), and medical exam costs ($200–$450), which are paid separately. Every fee is confirmed in writing before we begin.

The right choice depends on your situation. Toronto has a large population of skilled tech and finance professionals, many of whom are comfortable managing their own paperwork but want a licensed team to audit everything before it goes to IRCC. For those clients, Guided Application Review often makes the most sense: they stay in control, we catch the problems before IRCC does. If your case involves any complexity, a prior refusal, an inadmissibility concern, a multi-step pathway like a PNP nomination combined with an Express Entry application, or a tight deadline, Full Care Representation is the more appropriate choice. If you start with Guided Review and decide to upgrade to Full Care before submission, the full Guided fee is credited toward the Full Care fee.

A refusal is not necessarily the end of the road,  but it requires careful analysis before the next move. The first thing we do is review the refusal letter: IRCC is required to give reasons, and those reasons tell us exactly what needs to be addressed. For most temporary residence refusals, reapplying with a stronger, fully corrected file is the most direct path forward. If you received a Procedural Fairness Letter, responding precisely and completely is critical, a weak or incomplete response can result in a refusal and a potential 5-year misrepresentation finding. For permanent residence decisions, the Immigration Appeal Division may be available. In certain situations, a judicial review before the Federal Court is the appropriate route, and this is where Paulina's legal standing matters directly.

Based on current IRCC estimates, outland spousal sponsorship typically takes approximately 15 months, while inland sponsorship runs approximately 21 months. These are averages, always verify current processing times using IRCC's official tool, as timelines shift based on application volume and staffing. What does not change is the impact of application quality. A complete, internally consistent, well-documented file is the single biggest factor in avoiding avoidable delays. A missing document, a gap in relationship evidence, or a date inconsistency in the financial section can generate a request for additional information that adds months to an already long process. We build spousal sponsorship files with no gaps that IRCC will find first.
