Whether you come to study, join your family, or build your career, your journey to Canada blends academic, administrative, and legal steps. DOCERE provides the technological and administrative support and coordinates the whole process; the regulated legal work is handled by our partner lawyers (members of the Quebec Bar) or a regulated immigration consultant.

Our approach

Full accompaniment

Our most complete offer. DOCERE prepares your file, and a partner lawyer (member of the Quebec Bar) or a regulated immigration consultant reviews your documents and submits the application on your behalf.

Guided Application

A lighter, lower-cost option. A regulated consultant or lawyer provides the advice and the completed forms, and you submit the application yourself.

How the work divides

Who does what on your file

A move to Canada is rarely one process. A study project can involve an admission, a Quebec acceptance certificate, a federal permit, proof of funds, biometrics and a housing search — each with its own authority, its own format and its own clock. A family or work project has a different list and the same structure: the steps run in sequence, and a delay early on moves everything behind it.

DOCERE builds and holds that sequence. We tell you what has to happen first, prepare and check the documents, keep the file moving, and stay reachable while it does. You are not chasing status updates; you are told where things stand.

The regulated part stays with people licensed to do it. Advice on your specific situation, filing on your behalf and representation before the immigration authorities are carried out by our partner lawyers, members of the Quebec Bar, or a regulated immigration consultant. We coordinate the whole and tell you, at the start, which parts fall where.

Common questions

Questions from individuals and families

With a conversation. Bring your current status, your objective and your constraints, and we will walk you through how the relevant processes work and what each one asks for. Where the choice between pathways turns on a legal reading of your circumstances, that determination is made by our partner lawyers, members of the Quebec Bar, or a regulated immigration consultant — not by us.

Both, and with workers. Students are the largest part of our work, but a great many student files become family files: a spouse joining, a child enrolling in school, parents visiting. We follow the project rather than the category.

It depends on the pathway and on processing times nobody controls, which move with volume and policy. What we can commit to is the part that is ours: documents prepared and complete, nothing waiting on us, and a clear view of where the file sits. Most of the delays we see come from incomplete files rather than from the authorities.

Often, yes. Tell us what has been submitted and what you have received back. Picking up a file part-way through is common; what matters is having an accurate picture of what is already on the record before anything further is sent.

Fees follow the scope of the work and are agreed in writing before it begins. Two formulas exist so you can choose your level of support: full accompaniment, where we carry the project, and guided application, where you do the filling and we do the checking and the sequencing.

No. Quebec is where most of our work is concentrated, because it runs its own selection programmes and its own paperwork, but we support projects elsewhere in Canada as well. The destination changes the steps, not our role.

You reach a person, not a queue. Files run into refusals, requests for further documents, expired papers and changed circumstances — that is ordinary rather than exceptional, and how quickly it is caught matters more than the problem itself. Where the answer is a regulated legal one, we get it in front of the right professional rather than guessing at it.
