A Second Set of Expert Eyes

Preparing your own application? Let us review it first.

Many applicants prepare their own Express Entry profile, study permit, or sponsorship application — and that's entirely your right. A document review catches the errors that cause refusals or Procedural Fairness Letters, before you submit, not after.

What We Actually Look For

The mistakes that quietly sink applications.

Most refusals don't come from being ineligible — they come from preventable errors in how the eligible application was presented.

  • Physical presence and date calculations — a single miscounted day can mean an automatic refusal for citizenship or Express Entry timing
  • Inconsistencies across forms — dates, addresses, or employment history that don't match between documents
  • Missing or weak supporting evidence — especially for relationship proof in sponsorship cases
  • NOC code selection — choosing the occupation code that actually matches your duties, not just your job title
  • Program eligibility gaps — confirming you actually meet the minimums before you submit and trigger a refusal on your record
  • Translation and certification issues — documents that need certified translation but weren't properly prepared

You Decide What's Next

Make the changes yourself, or ask us to take over full representation from there — entirely your call.

Common Questions

Document Review FAQ

Will you become my official representative if I use this service?

Not automatically. A document review is exactly that — a review. If you want us to take over full representation with IRCC afterward, we can discuss that separately.

What if you find a serious problem after I've already submitted?

We always recommend a review before submission for this reason — once an application is in IRCC's system, fixing errors is much harder and can mean withdrawing and starting over. If you've already submitted, tell us right away so we can assess your options.

Can you review an application that's already been refused?

Yes — this is common. We review the refusal letter and your original application together to understand what went wrong before you reapply or appeal.

Do you review applications for programs outside your usual specialties?

We focus on the programs we work in regularly — Express Entry, BC PNP, study and work permits, family sponsorship, and citizenship. Tell us your situation and we'll be upfront if it's outside our scope.
