Canadian Consultation Questionnaire (Individual)

Please be aware that this form is for Canadian immigration consultations only. Do not use this questionnaire for U.S. immigration. If you require assistance with a U.S. immigration matter, please complete Henry J. Chang's US Consultation Questionnaire (Individual).

> The information submitted in this SSL encrypted questionnaire will be kept confidential. Once you have submitted your completed form, you will have an opportunity to schedule your consultation online.

Please note that initial consultations last up to one hour and a flat fee of $945.00 CAD (plus applicable GST/HST) will apply. However, certain consultations (such as those involving inadmissibility or citizenship claims) require additional analysis and are instead billed on a hourly basis. In such cases, you will be informed in advance that your initial consultation will exceed $945.00 CAD (plus applicable GST/HST) and you will be given an opportunity to confirm whether you still wish to proceed.

Once you have scheduled your consultation, we will contact you in order to request your credit card information. The initial consultation fee (plus GST/HST, if applicable) must be paid before your consultation takes place.
