Our Purpose
Make the immigration question clear before making the application complicated.
Canadian immigration matters can involve overlapping questions of eligibility, admissibility, documentation, timing, work authorization, temporary residence and permanent residence.
Advice should begin with the client's objective.
Escanto does not begin with the assumption that every client fits a particular immigration program. We first look at what the client is trying to accomplish and the facts that affect the Canadian immigration analysis.
Where representation is appropriate, the scope of professional services is defined clearly so the client understands what Escanto is responsible for, what information is required, and what remains subject to government decision-making.
This approach is particularly important where immigration intersects with employment, education, family sponsorship, business activity, entrepreneurship or international mobility.
How We Approach the Work
Professional immigration representation starts with clarity.
Our approach is built around several practical principles that apply across different kinds of Canadian immigration matters.
Define the professional scope
Clients should understand what advice or representation is being provided and the limits of the agreed mandate.
Explain the important risks
Material eligibility, documentation, admissibility and procedural issues should be identified rather than hidden behind optimistic marketing language.
Keep outcomes in perspective
Immigration decisions remain subject to Canadian law, applicable program criteria and government decision-making.
The RCIC Role
A regulated professional relationship with the client.
Where Escanto is retained for Canadian immigration services, the professional engagement is established directly with the client and carried out within the applicable Canadian regulatory framework.
Depending on the agreed mandate, the work may involve eligibility assessment, application strategy, document review, preparation, submissions, communication with immigration authorities and representation.
- Advice Immigration advice based on the client's circumstances and applicable Canadian requirements.
- Strategy Identification of relevant pathways, risks and procedural considerations.
- Preparation Assistance with the immigration application and supporting documentation within the agreed professional scope.
- Representation Representation before Canadian immigration authorities where formally retained to do so.
- Communication Professional communication concerning the immigration matter during the active mandate.
