In many ways, once your case is submitted, the process has only just begun. Maintaining a watchful eye on your application is important to ensuring that it does not fall off track, resulting in unnecessary delays.

Attending to your case requires a delicate mix of vigilance and of patience. The key to this mix is knowing how your application compares to others in your situation. Our application tracking module is unique in the field, and is simply not available to any applicant processing an application, with or without a consultant's help.

As each stage of the application process passes, you will be prompted to input basic information about the dates on which certain steps take place, for example: the submission of your application. The Immigration Wizard uses this information and a complex calculation of estimated processing times and actual data from other users to provide the following useful information to you:

• how your case is processing in comparison to current projections for this office;
• how your case is processing in comparison to other applicants at the same visa office as yourself; and
• how your application is processing comparison to an index of all users at all visa office's worldwide.

With this critical information, you are able to fully understand how your case is doing. You will be sufficiently informed so as to know when the delays in your case are normal, and when they require attention.

In addition, we provide you with customized alerts in the case that the processing of your case is outside of the Published Service Standards for your visa office. These ever-changing figures let you know when the visa office itself states that delays are abnormal, which usually means an increased willingness of the immigration officials to try to resolve issues.

This service is provided at several stages of the process, all the way until the issuance of your Canadian permanent resident visa. This unprecedented level of knowledge will put you in control of your own case in a way that was never possible.
