Fees, in the open
What this actually costs
Most firms won’t put a number on a page. Here’s ours, and — more importantly — here’s which part of your money we keep and which part goes to a government.
The consultation costs nothing
We used to charge PKR 5,000 for it. The reasoning was sound — a firm that earns nothing until you sign has every reason to tell you that you qualify — but it also put a price on the question itself. So the fee is gone, and what replaces it is written down instead of paid for: a summary of where you stand, before money is discussed.
Where your money goes
Two different pockets
Every immigration case involves at least two payments, and confusing them is how people get hurt.
Paid to us
Our professional fee
What you pay us for the work — assessing, building and filing your case. This is the part we keep, and the part you should compare between firms.
Paid to a government
Government fees
Paid to IRCC, the Home Office, a consulate — not to us. These are published by those governments and you can look them up yourself. We pass them through at cost.
If a firm quotes you one lump sum and won’t break it down, you don’t know what you’re paying them. Ask.
Real ranges, not a brochure
What we have actually charged
Not a marketing range — these are the real spreads from agreements clients have signed with us. Where we have handled too few cases to show an honest range, we say so rather than inventing one.
| Service | What clients have paid | Typical | Cases |
|---|---|---|---|
| Canada visit visa | PKR 115,000 – 270,000 | PKR 150,000 | 51 |
| Canada work permit (C11) | PKR 2,600,000 – 3,000,000 | PKR 2,600,000 | 13 |
| Canada work permit (C11), billed in CAD | CAD 11,000 – 20,000 | CAD 13,000 | 10 |
| Judicial review after a refusal | PKR 350,000 – 650,000 | PKR 450,000 | 8 |
| US investor visa (E-2) · Canada C10 | Too few cases to publish a range | — | 2 each |
Government fees are on top of these and are paid to IRCC, not to us. Your own case may fall outside these ranges — they are what happened, not a quote.
Why the visit visa spread is so wide
Notice the spread on the visit visa: the cheapest case cost less than half the most expensive. That is not inconsistency — it is the difference between one straightforward applicant and a family with a refusal history. Anyone quoting you a single fixed number before looking at your file is quoting the wrong number.
The incentives we refuse
How we don’t charge
How a firm structures its fee tells you what it’s optimising for. Here’s what we’ve deliberately ruled out — and why.
We don’t charge on approval.
“Pay us when your visa comes” sounds generous. It means the firm only earns if you’re approved — which is precisely the incentive that gets weak cases filed and documents “improved”. We bill for work done, not outcomes we don’t control.
We don’t take a percentage of your investment.
If a route involves you investing money, that money is yours and goes into your business. Anyone taking a cut of it has an interest in the size of the investment, not in whether it’s right for you.
We don’t quote a fee before we know your case.
Which is what the consultation is for. A number given before anyone has looked at your situation is a number invented to win you.
And the obvious one, which we’ll say again here: no fee buys you a visa. It buys you the work, done properly.
