Not every immigration question needs the same type of consultation. A focused question, a full pathway decision, an application delay, a PR card concern, and an employer hiring question all require different levels of review. Choosing the right session helps you get clearer value from the appointment. When a Quick Consult fits A Quick Consult fits a focused question, a refusal concern, a document question, or a situation where you need professional direction without a full strategy session.

It works best when the issue is narrow and you can explain the facts clearly. When a Strategy Session fits A Strategy Session fits broader planning: Express Entry vs PNP, study-to-PR planning, family pathway decisions, complicated work permit planning, or multiple options that need to be compared. It is better for people who need a route, not just an answer. When a Status Review or Employer Session fits A Status Review fits existing files, delays, next-step confusion, or PR card and residency concerns.

An Employer Session fits Canadian employers who need guidance before supporting a worker or making immigration-related commitments.
