I’ve seen it too many times.

Someone pays for immigration help but the application does not show a representative.

When IRCC raises concerns or alleges misrepresentation, that person disappears.

No paper trail. No accountability.

The applicant is left facing the consequences while a lawyer is brought in to try to repair the damage.

If someone is helping with your immigration application, make sure they’re willing to put their name on it.

Your future is too important for off-the-record advice.

IRCC has increased the minimum settlement funds required for certain applicants under Express Entry. If you’re applying under the Federal Skilled Worker or Skilled Trades programs and don’t have a job offer, it’s critical that your profile is updated by July 28, 2025, or you risk being removed from the pool.

Our team at Lumina Lawyers LLP is here to help you understand what this change means and how to stay compliant.

We have been so busy attending to our clients and the various court proceedings scheduled for our Family Law clients and our Immigration Law clients that we did not have the time to share any of our recent success stories. Here is a success story from last week:

After hearing of the positive experience her friend had with Lumina Lawyers LLP with his cousin’s Visitor Visa Application (cousin abroad had six prior refusals), a brilliant young woman contacted us to request us to assist her brother with his Canadian Visitor Visa Application.

Previously, with the assistance of other immigration professionals, her brother had submitted not one, not two, but three temporary resident applications. The first two applications were for a study visa and the third application was for a visitor visa. All three had been refused for different reasons.

When discussing this matter with our client and his sister, we were very honest and transparent, ensuring accurate expectations were set. We informed them from the outset of what this legal journey would look like. Our client was informed from the very outset that the chances of his Visitor Visa Application being approved at the outset were low (due to the previous refusals and IRCC’s use of AI), and that we would most likely have to continue in Federal Court. Our client trusted our advice, as did his sister, and embarked on this legal journey with us.

We prepared and submitted a detailed and fulsome Visitor Visa Application, which was, as expected, refused. As planned, we commenced the Federal Court process.

After filing our initial Application with the Federal Court, we made detailed submissions as to why our Application should be granted. Shortly thereafter, Minister’s Counsel notified us that they consented to our Federal Court Application and the Visitor Visa Application would be redetermined by a different Visa Officer. This was great news for our client, who did not have to go through the entire Federal Court process, saving him not only time, but also legal fees.

The Visitor Visa Application was returned to a different Visa Officer, who requested us to submit updated documents to support the Visitor Visa Application, which we submitted on Wednesday, October 16, 2024. On Thursday, October 24, 2024, IRCC notified us that the Visitor Visa Application had been approved!

We immediately informed our client and his sister of the approval, who were overjoyed. A brother will now be travelling to Calgary, Alberta in the near future to meet his sister!

The entire team at Lumina Lawyers LLP thanks our client and his sister for their continued trust and faith in us. We are incredibly happy for our clients success and look forward to meeting with him once he is in Canada!
