Family Class

We are strongly against any spouse sponsorship cases intending for immigration only. Thus, we would do preview first and once the file is opened, we would care your case from beginning to the end till landing paper is issued. All cases need double review before submission to avoid any unnecessary mistakes.

For your convenience, please be aware that we suggest you meet the LICO in most of the cases. Should there be any problem or question in this,please contact our consultants any time.

The following table applies to all provinces except Quebec.
