BOOKING AND PAYMENT

Serge Ignatieff has worked in Canadian immigration since 2017. He personally conducts consultations, drawing on his extensive Canadian immigration experience, legal education and experience as an attorney in a foreign jurisdiction.

The value of the consultation lies in examining the circumstances that shape your next steps. Are your documents sufficient to substantiate your work experience? How should discrepancies with a previous application be explained? What needs to change after a refusal? Which family or court documents require closer examination?

During the consultation, Serge helps identify the strengths and weaknesses of your position, compare possible options and determine the evidence you need to prepare.

You will leave with a clearer understanding of the next step worth taking, the grounds supporting it and the issues that need to be resolved before submitting an application.

When assessing your situation, Serge considers applicable legislation, regulations, immigration authorities’ instructions and case law. This helps explain how general requirements apply to your particular circumstances, which facts have legal significance and which options have a sound basis.

His experience preparing written submissions—including responses to Procedural Fairness Letters (PFLs), requests for reconsideration and humanitarian and compassionate applications—helps him assess the relationship between facts, legal grounds and evidence. 

The analysis considers how your statements are supported, whether they are consistent with previous applications and what conclusions immigration authorities may draw from them.

Legal education and experience in legal practice are particularly valuable in files involving court decisions, family circumstances and criminal matters.

The consultation helps you understand the legal grounds for the available options, significant risks and what you will need to substantiate before proceeding.

If your question requires separate research into legislation or case law or a detailed review of documents, Serge will explain the scope of further work needed.
