EXISTING IMMIGRATION APPLICATIONS

What assistance can Escanto provide?

Services are assessed individually and undertaken only within the agreed professional mandate.

01

Review an application already submitted

We can review the records and documents available, clarify the application history and identify issues that may require further examination. A review cannot guarantee that every problem will be detectable or correctable.

02

Take over or continue an immigration case

If you wish to appoint Escanto after filing independently or with another representative, we can assess whether accepting the ongoing mandate is appropriate. Representation requires the applicable consent, authorization and service agreement.

03

Respond to IRCC correspondence

We can assess additional-document requests, requests for explanation and procedural fairness concerns, and assist with a response when the matter falls within our authorized scope. Deadlines and instructions must be reviewed promptly.

04

Examine errors or changed circumstances

If information was omitted, a mistake was discovered or your family, employment or status changed, we can discuss the significance and available reporting or corrective options.

05

Review delays and available follow-up options

We can consider published processing information, the accessible application history and whether appropriate follow-up is available. Hiring a representative cannot guarantee faster processing.

06

Assess a refusal and possible next steps

If a decision has already been made, a separate refusal assessment can help identify options and deadlines. Some proceedings require a lawyer or another appropriately authorized professional.

Can you change your immigration representative after submitting?

IRCC generally allows an applicant to appoint, change or cancel an authorized representative after submission. The Use of a Representative form (IMM 5476) and applicable submission procedures may be required. A new appointment does not automatically transfer all previous records or online account access, and only one representative can be appointed for a given application at a time.

How to begin

Book a consultation or complete the immigration assessment, noting that your application has already been submitted. Describe the application type, submission date, current status, most recent IRCC communication and any urgent deadline. After an initial review, Escanto can explain whether a one-time service or a separate ongoing representation agreement may be appropriate.

Please do not send passports, identity documents, financial records, or complete immigration files before coordinating with Escanto. If document review is necessary, we will advise you of the appropriate secure method for submitting them.

Frequently asked questions

Can I hire Escanto after I submitted my application?

Yes, we can assess applications already submitted and consider the appropriate scope of professional assistance or representation.

Can Escanto take over a case managed by another consultant or lawyer?

We can review the circumstances and consider taking over the file where appropriate. Prior records, any existing representation and IRCC authorization requirements must be addressed.

Will hiring Escanto make IRCC process my file faster?

No. Using a representative does not provide special treatment, guaranteed processing times or a favourable decision.

Do I need a full representation agreement for a document request?

Not necessarily. Some matters may be handled through a defined limited-scope engagement; continuing representation requires a separate appropriate agreement.

Your application is underway. Professional assistance may still be available.

Describe the stage of your case and the assistance you need. Escanto will consider whether and how it can help.
