What we do at Global Compass
We turn Canada’s immigration rules into plain questions, check your answers against official requirements, and have a lawyer review the result before you see it.
Everything in one place
Made for real people, backed by real lawyers
Only the questions that matter
Your goal decides what we ask. Someone visiting family never sees questions about business investments.
Rules from official sources
Every requirement comes from Government of Canada or provincial pages, with the date it was checked.
Backed by lawyers
Our lawyers approve the rules. Anything unusual, like a close deadline or a judgment call, goes to a lawyer before it reaches you.
Deadlines flagged
When a time limit is close, like the 180 days to apply for a post-graduation work permit, your report flags it.
Watched for changes
We monitor the official pages behind our rules. When one changes, a lawyer checks what it means.

Your information, your call
Stored in Canada, seen by the lawyer who reviews your assessment, and shared with anyone else only with your consent.
Built for employers too
Global Compass Corporate guides employers through transfers, LMIAs, trade agreements and compliance.
The assessment process
How your preliminary assessment comes together
You tell us your story
Your goal first, then only the questions that matter for it. Skip anything you’re not sure about.
Our rules engine checks it
Each answer is compared with the requirements of the programs that fit your goal: appears to meet, doesn’t appear to meet, or more information needed.
A lawyer steps in when needed
If anything is unusual, a lawyer reviews and corrects the assessment before it’s released. Routine ones built on lawyer-approved rules come back right away.
You get a clear report
What looks promising, what’s missing, the deadlines that apply, and steps you can actually take.
Your report
Plain words, clear labels, real next steps
Here’s a peek at a made-up sample report. Yours is built from your own answers.
Sample: Amina (made up)
A few skilled-worker paths look worth exploring for you.
Your education, English and seven years of software work could all help. Before anyone can give you a score or a firm view, we need your education assessment, your full language test results and a closer look at your job duties.
Some paths look worth exploringHonest by design
What we won’t do
No guesses dressed up as facts
If something can’t be judged from your answers, we say what’s missing instead of assuming.
No promises we can’t keep
Only the government decides. We tell you what looks promising, what doesn’t, and why.
Clear about what we don’t cover yet
If your situation is outside our assessments, we’ll say so and point you to a lawyer who can help.
