Advisory Review
Expert legal eyes on your situation. Clear guidance on what to do next.
What Is an Advisory Review
An Advisory Review is a focused legal service that sits between a consultation and full representation. It is designed for clients who need substantive legal input on a specific document, decision, or situation without engaging the MyVisa Team for end-to-end case management.
Our lawyers review your materials in depth, analyze the legal issues at play, and provide you with clear, actionable guidance tailored to your circumstances. You stay in control of your matter. We make sure you are making informed decisions every step of the way.
An Advisory Review is not a general Q&A session. It is a professional legal assessment of your specific situation, delivered with the same rigour we bring to full representation matters.
What We Review
Before Submission: Application Review
You have prepared your own application and want a licensed immigration lawyer to review it before it goes to IRCC. We assess the completeness and legal strength of your submission, flag any issues that could lead to a refusal, and provide specific recommendations to improve your application before it is filed.
After a Refusal: Refusal Review
You have received a refusal and want to understand what went wrong and what your options are. We analyze the refusal letter, review the officer's reasons, and assess whether your best path forward is a reapplication, an appeal, or a judicial review. We tell you what we find honestly, even when the answer is difficult.
Urgent Response Required: Procedural Fairness Letter Review
You have received a procedural fairness letter from IRCC and need to respond within a tight deadline. We review the letter in full, identify the officer's specific concerns, and provide a recommended response strategy. A procedural fairness letter is one of the most critical moments in an immigration file. Getting the response right matters enormously.
Delayed Application: Delay Review & Strategy
Your application has been pending far beyond normal processing times and you are not sure what to do. We review the history of your file, assess whether a mandamus application or other intervention is warranted, and develop a strategy for moving your matter forward. We will also advise on how to maintain the strength of your application while it remains outstanding.
Who This Service Is For
An Advisory Review is the right choice if:
You prepared your own application and want a lawyer to check it before you submit.

Your application has been delayed for an unreasonable amount of time and you want to know what can be done.

What Happens After
After your Advisory Review, you will have a clear picture of where your matter stands and what your options are. Many clients choose to proceed independently using the guidance we provide. Others decide to engage the MyVisa Team for full legal representation to handle the matter from that point forward.
Either way, your Advisory Review puts you in a stronger position than you were before.
