— Common questions

What clients usually ask first.

What's the difference between Express Entry and the BC PNP?+
Express Entry is the federal points-based system for skilled workers; the BC Provincial Nominee Program lets British Columbia nominate candidates who meet local labour needs. A provincial nomination adds 600 points to an Express Entry profile — effectively guaranteeing an invitation to apply. Which route fits depends on your occupation, work experience, and current scores.
Who handles my immigration file?+
Immigration matters are handled by Arj Pannu, a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC #710712) in good standing with the CICC, working with GSG as a trusted partner. All inquiries come through GSG, and where your matter also touches business, real estate, or family issues, the firm's lawyers work alongside the immigration file.
Can you help after a refusal?+
Often, yes. Depending on the application and the reasons for refusal, options include addressing the deficiencies and reapplying, requesting reconsideration, or pursuing review. The first step is always a careful read of the refusal letter and the officer's notes — the real reason is sometimes different from the stated one.
How long do immigration applications take?+
Processing times vary widely by stream and change month to month — Express Entry draws move in months, family sponsorships often take a year or more, and LMIAs depend on the stream. We set expectations from current IRCC processing data at intake, not guesses, and keep you informed at every stage.
