416-827-8778 We are always willing to work with you
And we believe that good advice should be accessible to everyone.
Consultation Fees
When you book an appointment with us, you will speak with a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant who is licensed and in good standing with the College of Immigration Consultants (formerly ICCRC). In order to allow us to spend enough time with you for a comprehensive review of your case, our office charges a consultation fee which covers up to one hour of time. Consultation fees are as follows:
| Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (video conference) | Senior Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (video conference) | Senior Consultant (in person) |
| 2 – 3 years of experience | 4+ years of experience | 4+ years of experience |
| $175 | $250 | $450 |
If you decide to retain Doherty Fultz Immigration to assist with your immigration matter within 5 days of your consultation appointment, the fee you have already paid will be discounted from the cost of your service. If you are located outside Canada, your consultation fee (and any subsequent professional fees if you would like to work together) will be charged in US Dollars and is tax-free. If you are located inside Canada, your consultation fee will be charged in Canadian dollars and 13% HST will be applied to the cost.
Full Representation
Because Immigration fees are a substantial investment into your future, our office is happy to break up the total cost into multiple payments for most services in order to make top-notch representation accessible to everyone. You don’t need to pay an expensive lawyer for good advice.
Typical Costs
The costs listed below are typical of these types of cases. The fees listed are professional fees only, and do not include government fees or other costs such as couriers, translations, or any other costs associated with an application such as medical exams.
Our consultants will discuss the details of your situation during a consultation and give you a quote based on your circumstances.
Professional fees can be paid in installments for convenience.
