A friendly first step for Canadian immigration. Global Compass Individuals helps people see which ways to Canada could fit them; Global Compass Organizations helps employers hire, transfer and keep people from abroad. Both turn your answers into an automated preliminary assessment, with optional lawyer consultations arranged separately.
Not on its own. Your preliminary assessment is based only on your answers and on recorded immigration rules, but it isn’t a full legal opinion, and there’s no lawyer and client relationship unless you sign a written agreement. For advice on your situation, you can ask for a consultation.
Assessments and free previews are prepared automatically from your answers and recorded official sources. They identify missing facts, close deadlines and issues the system cannot settle. A lawyer consultation is optional and arranged separately.
The quick check and preview are free. The preliminary assessment is free during testing. No payment details are needed. An Annual Engagement, with up to four check-ins a year, is $400. Consultation fees and other paid services are explained upfront before you commit to anything.
Our rules come from official Government of Canada and provincial sources, and we monitor those pages for changes. When a page changes, a lawyer reviews the rules that depend on it. Every report shows the date the rules were checked.
No. They are illustrative characters based on common situations, and their outcomes are examples, not promises. The rules their stories mention are real and come from official sources.
