Services

Where do you want to begin?

Tell Martina your goal — she’ll map the pathway that fits. Every route to Canada handled with precision and care.

I want to study

Study Permits

School selection guidance, study permit applications, and post-graduation work permit planning for international students.

Learn more

A study permit lets you study at a designated learning institution (DLI) in Canada. Martina helps you choose an eligible school and program, prepare a strong study plan and proof of funds, and — where eligible — plan for a Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) that can become a pathway to permanent residence. She can also advise on bringing your spouse or children with you.

I want to work

Work Permits

Employer-specific and open work permits, LMIA guidance, and support for employers hiring foreign workers in the Kootenays.

Learn more

Whether you need an employer-specific permit tied to a job offer, an open work permit, or guidance through a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA), Martina supports both workers and Kootenay employers — including bridging permits that keep you working while your permanent residence application is in progress.

I want to immigrate

Permanent Residence

Express Entry, BC Provincial Nominee Program, and other PR pathways — assessed and prepared to maximize your chances.

Learn more

Martina assesses your profile against Express Entry (Federal Skilled Worker, Canadian Experience Class and the trades), the BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) and other routes, then builds the application that gives you the strongest chance. She helps with your Expression of Interest profile, document preparation, and responding to any requests from IRCC.

I want to sponsor family

Family Sponsorship

Spousal, common-law, parent and grandparent sponsorships — reuniting families with carefully prepared applications.

Learn more

If you’re a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, you may be able to sponsor your spouse, common-law partner, dependent children, or in some cases parents and grandparents. Martina prepares the sponsorship and relationship evidence with great care — the area where many applications run into trouble — to give your loved ones the strongest path to joining you.

I want to visit

Visitor Visas & eTA

Temporary resident visas, super visas for parents and grandparents, and visa extensions handled smoothly.

Learn more

For temporary stays, Martina helps with Temporary Resident Visas (TRVs), Electronic Travel Authorizations (eTAs), and the Super Visa that lets parents and grandparents visit for longer. She also assists with extending your stay or restoring your status if your plans change.

I want to become Canadian

Citizenship

Citizenship applications, eligibility assessments, and preparation support for the final step of your Canadian journey.

Learn more

Once you meet the residency requirement as a permanent resident, Martina confirms your eligibility, helps calculate your physical-presence days, prepares your citizenship application, and gets you ready for the citizenship test and interview — the final step in becoming Canadian.

I need protection

Refugee & Humanitarian

Refugee claims, hearings before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) — representation Martina’s Class L3 licence specifically permits — and humanitarian & compassionate applications, handled with care and confidentiality.

Learn more

As a Class L3 RCIC-IRB, Martina can represent you before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) — something most consultants cannot do. She assists with refugee protection claims, appeals, and Humanitarian & Compassionate (H&C) applications, always with care, discretion, and respect for what you’ve been through.

Why Local Matters

A consultant who knows the Kootenays

Big-city firms treat you like a file number. In a community like ours, reputation is everything — and Martina builds hers one successful client at a time.

Whether you're an employer in Nelson, Castlegar, Trail, Rossland or Cranbrook looking to hire internationally, or a newcomer settling into life in the Kootenays, you'll work with someone who knows this region, its employers, and its opportunities.

Martina knows the BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP) streams that matter here — from Skilled Worker and Health Authority pathways for the region’s in-demand workers, to routes for international graduates and the hospitality and tourism staff who keep the Kootenays moving.

FAQ

Questions, answered honestly

Straight answers to the things people ask most. Still unsure? Just send an email — Martina answers personally.

Do I really need an immigration consultant, or can I apply myself?

You can apply on your own — many people do. But Canadian immigration rules change constantly, and small mistakes can mean months of delay or an outright refusal with no refund of government fees. A licensed consultant knows what visa officers look for, chooses the strongest pathway for your situation, and makes sure nothing is missed. If your case is simple, Martina will tell you so honestly.

What is an RCIC, and how do I know Martina is licensed?

RCIC stands for Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant — the only consultants legally allowed to charge fees for Canadian immigration advice, licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). Martina is an RCIC-IRB in good standing, License #R1056272. You can verify her license yourself in under a minute on the official CICC public register — view Martina’s licence directly.

Do I have to live in Nelson to work with Martina?

Not at all. Martina meets clients face-to-face in Nelson and the Kootenays, and works with clients across Canada and around the world by video call and email. Wherever you are — India, Nigeria, the UK, the Philippines, or anywhere else — the service is the same personal attention.

How much does it cost?

Every case is different, so fees are quoted after your initial consultation — and they are always clear, fixed, and agreed before any work begins. No hourly surprises, no hidden charges. Government filing fees are separate and paid directly to IRCC.

Which immigration programs do you cover?

All major Canadian pathways: study permits, work permits and LMIA guidance, Express Entry and the BC Provincial Nominee Program (BC PNP), spousal and family sponsorship, visitor visas and super visas, citizenship applications, and refugee claims with representation before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB). If another route fits your case better, Martina will point you to it.

How long will my application take?

Processing times vary by program and change through the year — some work permits take weeks, permanent residence can take many months. In your consultation Martina gives you an honest, current timeline for your specific pathway, and keeps you updated at every stage. No inflated promises.
