Honest Answers to Your Questions
No sales pitch, just real answers to questions you actually want to ask
What if my application gets rejected?
We work diligently to prevent rejections by ensuring your application is complete, accurate, and properly documented. However, if a rejection does occur, we will review the reasons with you, advise on your options (appeal, reapplication, or alternative pathways), and continue supporting you. Our goal is to help you succeed. Rejection is not the end of the road.
How do I know you're legit?
Mahipal Patel is a licensed Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) with license #R707635, registered with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). You can verify his credentials directly on the CICC public register. Only licensed RCICs are legally authorized to provide immigration advice and representation in Canada.
Can you guarantee my application will be approved?
No, and anyone who promises guaranteed approval is being dishonest. Immigration decisions are made by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), not by consultants. What we can guarantee is that your application will be professionally prepared, thoroughly reviewed, and submitted with the strongest possible case based on your situation.
What happens if IRCC requests more documents after submission?
Additional document requests are common and normal. If IRCC needs more information, we will notify you immediately, explain what is needed, help you gather the documents, and ensure they are submitted correctly and on time. We remain your representative throughout the entire process. You are never left to handle IRCC communication alone.
Do I need to pay upfront?
Our 45-minute immigration consultation is $70 CAD. This gives you professional assessment of your eligibility, program recommendations, and a clear action plan. If you decide to proceed with our services, we will discuss fees based on your specific immigration program and case complexity. We believe in transparency: you will know all costs before committing, and we will never surprise you with hidden fees.
How long does the immigration process take?
Processing times vary significantly depending on the immigration program, your country of origin, completeness of your application, and current IRCC workload. Express Entry applications typically take 6-8 months, while family sponsorship can take 12-24 months. We'll provide realistic timelines during your consultation based on your specific pathway and current IRCC processing standards.
What if I don't qualify for the program I want?
If you do not meet the requirements for your preferred program, we will not pretend otherwise. Instead, we will assess your eligibility for alternative pathways and recommend the best options available to you. Many clients successfully immigrate through programs they did not initially consider. Our job is to find you a viable path, not to give false hope.
Can I apply on my own without a consultant?
Yes, you absolutely can. IRCC allows self-representation, and all application forms are publicly available. However, immigration law is complex, and mistakes can lead to delays or refusals. A licensed consultant provides expertise, reduces errors, saves time, and handles IRCC communication on your behalf. Think of it as the difference between self-diagnosing online versus seeing a doctor.
What happens if my circumstances change during the process?
Life happens. Job changes, marriage, new children, address moves are all common. If your circumstances change after submission, notify us immediately. Some changes require updating your application with IRCC, while others do not affect your case. We will guide you through the proper steps to ensure your application remains accurate and compliant.
Do you offer refunds if I change my mind?
Our refund policy depends on how much work has been completed at the time of cancellation. Before we begin, we will outline our service agreement, including payment terms and refund conditions. We are committed to fair practices. If you have not received the service you paid for, we will work with you to find a reasonable solution.
