It’s a red flag if an immigration lawyer or consultant does not offer individual consultations. Thankfully, Deanne and the Canada Abroad team offer individual consultations to review your options for Canadian immigration.
Book your consultation.
How does it work? Deanne will begin by requesting information about yourself, your family, and what you’re hoping to achieve. Then, after carefully reviewing your information, you’ll have an online consultation during which Deanne or one of her team members will explain all of your Canadian immigration options, including the pros and cons of each program.
Finally, after your consultation is complete, you will have the necessary information and tools for you to complete your immigration process on your own. If you’re not sure about your options and you want to get expert advice, a one-on-one consultation with one of Canada Abroad’s immigration consultants is the perfect way to begin.
First things first: It is totally possible to create and submit your own Express Entry profile. There is absolutely no reason to pay a consultant or lawyer hefty fees to create your profile for you. However, it can help to have an expert look at your profile once you’ve submitted in order to check for mistakes and recommend next steps, like how to improve your CRS score.
This is why Deanne and the crew have developed the Express Entry Profile Review. For CAD $195.00, they will take a detailed look into your Express Entry profile. Your documents will be checked, NOC code verified, and settlement funds reviewed. Perhaps best of all, the team will review your CRS score and if you’re below the most cut-off scores for Express Entry draws, they’ll recommend your best options for improving, including recommending possible PNPs for your application.
Book your Express Entry Profile Review.
In the end, Canada Abroad will provide you with a written report giving you the full details of their findings and step-by-step instructions for what comes next. Deanne and her team focus on giving you the information you need to complete the process yourself and ensuring that you understand how the application works.
You don’t need to pay someone to create your Express Entry profile, but once your profile is ready, an expert review can help give you the competitive edge!
Here’s Deanne with a short video overview of the Express Entry Profile Review:
The final step of Express Entry is your electronic Application for Permanent Residence (eAPR). This application is extremely detailed, requiring a complete personal history, police clearance certificates, work reference letters, proof of financial support, medical exams, and more!
While it is possible to complete your eAPR successfully by yourself, it is also true that even a single missing document can be the cause for your application to be refused. Canadian immigration officers are known to be very strict with their evaluation of these applications.
For peace of mind and clarity, it can be a worthwhile investment to have a reputable consultant, like Deanne and her team, review your application before you submit it. They will double-check all of your information and documents to ensure that everything is valid and meets program requirements.
Deanne will work to make sure that you feel confident in your application when you click the submit button.

Review of Rejected Applications: This consultation is for those who have submitted an application for a Study Permit, Work Permit or Visit Visa and believe that IRCC has refused their application incorrectly or want to understand why their application was refused. Canada Abroad’s Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant will review your refusal letter and all of the relevant supporting documents and application forms to assist you in determining if a second application could be successful.
This is not for those who want to apply for a Judicial Review by the Federal Court. This is only for those who want to further understand the refusal of their application to see if Judicial Review would be an option or want to submit a new application.

You will be provided with your written report within 7 working days advising you of any mistakes in the application forms, the quality of the supporting documents and advice regarding what you can do to strengthen your application and let you know if you are missing any documentation

I was very pleased with my consultation experience with Marcia Freese at Canada Abroad. Marcia was right-to-the-point, did not waste any time on the call, and shared her screen with me during the call to very transparently review my scores in various immigration programs. Marcia answered all of my questions. There was no sales-pitch or undue sense of urgency which sets Marcia and Canada Abroad apart from another agency I spoke with recently. I will definitely be continuing to use Marcia’s consultation at Canada Abroad!
Very satisfied with a consultation from Canada Abroad and particularly Magda Zaplotny who showed a strong willingness to help. Had a number of questions about possible paths to PR and decided that speaking with an experienced consultant was necessary. Magda was able to respond to all questions quickly so it did not feel as though time was being taken up searching for answers. Additional information was also shared beyond simply answering questions. Magda’s experience was evident and her explanations of available options were clear. Felt like Magda carefully considered the various options. By the end, a helpful course of action was proposed. Would consult with Magda again as the process continues and would readily recommend her.
A really informative and helpful chat with Heather! She answered all of my questions and was able to explain the process really simply. She gave me all my options and what I’d need to do going forward. Would really recommend for anyone who is looking to move to Canada but doesn’t know their options and what they need.
Our consultant, Heather Mcintyre was far beyoond what we expected. Her knowledge and ability to explain in detail that was easy to understand put us at ease and we found renewed confidence going forward. We definitely recommend with confidence, Canada Abroad. Thank you Heather for giving a hope that we never had before.
