A field-tested workflow you can follow from eligibility check to submission. Built to replace scattered notes, outdated forms, and second-guessing.
What you'll be able to do after reading it
Pick the right path
A decision tree walks you through eligibility before you start filling forms.
Gather every document once
Prioritized checklist with translation and attestation notes.
Submit with structure
A worked example shows what a complete submission looks like.
Respond to IRCC calmly
Templates for RFI responses, renewals, and follow-on permits.
Applicants rarely fail because they're ineligible. They fail because their file is disorganized, a form is out of date, or a narrative answers a question IRCC didn't actually ask. — Editor's note, ehCanadaVisa
Why this saves you time
A licensed immigration consultant bills $150–$400 per hour for the kind of scope-setting, document-planning, and template work this kit captures on paper. This isn't a replacement for a lawyer on a genuinely complex case — it's a replacement for the three or four orientation consultations most people use just to get pointed in the right direction.

Frequently asked questions
Are the official IRCC forms included?
No — forms change, and redistributing stale versions hurts applicants. The kit tells you which form to download and where problems typically appear.
Do I still need a lawyer?
If your case is genuinely complex, yes. This kit is for straightforward cases and for orienting yourself before a paid consultation.
Is this legal advice?
No. ehCanadaVisa is an independent information resource, not a law firm.
What happens if IRCC changes the rules after I buy?
You have lifetime re-download access. When IRCC makes a material change, we update the kit (usually within a week) and you get the new version at no cost.
Is this legal advice?
No. ehCanadaVisa is an independent information resource. This guide provides information and templates, not legal advice, and we are not a law firm or licensed immigration practice. Always verify current requirements at
canada.ca and consult a licensed professional for your specific situation.
