Common questions
No. NextMovePath does not provide legal opinions. For advice on your file, contact an RCIC-verified consultant or a licensed immigration lawyer. Our guides explain IRCC rules using official sources, and community answers share other applicants’ experience.
Visitor visas and super visas, study permits, work permits including the Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP), permanent residence through Express Entry and the Provincial Nominee Programs, family sponsorship, and what to do after a refusal. Each has its own section with guides, tools and community questions.
The guides, tools, news and community are free to use, and joining is free. We also offer a paid IRCC form filling service, priced per form, for people who want help completing their application forms.

You can check an RCIC’s licence on the College’s public register at college-ic.ca, and a lawyer’s standing with their law society.
