Speak with an expert
Licensed advice, for the parts that need a human.
VisaTriage prepares your application and shows you what an officer would question. When your situation needs legal judgement — a refusal, a disclosure, a family decision — book a consultation with a licensed Canadian immigration lawyer or RCIC.
Consultations are delivered by independent licensed professionals. VisaTriage is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.
What a consultation costs
From $80 + tax
A 50-minute one-to-one video call. Independent Canadian immigration lawyers typically charge $250–$350 for the same conversation; network pricing is published up front, with no retainer.
Also available
- • Quick Review — a licensed expert checks your finished application within 24 hours.
- • Submit-for-me — a professional files it with IRCC as your representative.
When it’s worth booking
Most applicants never need this. These are the situations where an hour with a professional changes the outcome.
You were refused before
Find out whether to reapply with fixes or challenge the decision — and which is realistic for your reasons.
You’re bringing a spouse or children
Apply together, or apply alone and have them follow? The answer changes your funds requirement and your odds.
You’re already in Canada
Visitor record, study permit extension, restoration of status — the rules differ and the deadlines are short.
You have a disclosure to make
A criminal record, a medical condition, or a past overstay. Honesty is mandatory; framing is where expertise pays.
You’re from a high-scrutiny country
Processing times and officer expectations differ by country. Someone who files these weekly knows the difference.
Something just doesn’t fit
If VisaTriage flagged something it can’t resolve, that flag is a good reason to spend 50 minutes with a professional.

Not sure if you need one?
Run your free readiness check first. If your report comes back green, you probably don’t need a consultation — and we’ll say so.
