On the record
Indicative ranges for project-based representation. Final fees are confirmed in writing after an Initial Consultation Assessment. All amounts in CAD, exclusive of government fees.
§ Preamble
Before you read this
This page exists because applicants deserve transparency. The numbers below are the ranges we work within for the most common files — not quotes. Your final fee depends on file complexity, dependents, document availability, and program-specific requirements.
No quotes are issued without an Initial Consultation Assessment ($275). The ICA exists so we can properly evaluate your file, identify risks, and quote you accurately rather than guessing. This is how we maintain flat-fee predictability for ~95% of clients.
Your $275 ICA fee is credited toward your final professional fees if you sign a retainer within 30 days.

§ Footnotes
Important to know
The small
print, spelled out.
N° 02 Payment schedule
Standard project-based engagements use a 50/50 schedule — 50% due on retainer signing, 50% plus government fees due on submission.
N° 03 Consultation required
Every representation engagement begins with an ICA. We do not quote files we have not reviewed.
N° 04 Flat-fee predictability
Our goal is flat-fee pricing for ~95% of files. In rare cases — misrepresentation history, complex inadmissibility, multi-jurisdictional issues — additional fees may apply. You will always be informed in writing before any surcharge.
N° 05 Restoration of status
Included in temporary residence fees where the applicant remains eligible (within 90 days of status expiry).
N° 06 Vulnerable Workers
Clients facing financial hardship from employer abuse may defer payment to month 6 or arrange a payment plan. Contact us directly.
N° 07 Non-refundable once work commences
Fees are non-refundable once representation begins, at the discretion of the RCIC. If a file is deemed ineligible during the ICA, no further fees are charged beyond the consultation.
N° 08 Capacity
Representation is offered subject to current capacity. When we are full, we maintain a waitlist. Hawkeye Reviews and First Officer Engagement products remain available without capacity limits beyond the First Officer Engagement 5-client cap.
