Why November matters

In early November, Canada's immigration department (IRCC) sets how many permanent residents, students and workers Canada will admit through 2027. Those numbers set the odds on every stream, and most people read them months too late.

  1. Early November

    IRCC tables the 2027 levels plan.

  2. November 20

    This event. The levels plan, read line by line against the data, while you can still change course.

  3. By March

    Most coverage catches up, once the intake is already being spent.

What your ticket gets you

  • What the 2027 targets do to your stream, your timeline and your odds. Not a summary of the press release. The levels plan is taken apart on stage, allocation by allocation: which streams the numbers favour, where the draws are likely to move, and which pathways are narrowing.

  • Your question, answered in person. Every ticket includes access to an Express Consultation: five minutes one to one with an immigration expert during the evening, about your situation, not a general case.

  • A plan you can act on, and a way to carry it out. You leave with a printed strategy sheet for your situation: the pathways still open to you, the order the steps need to happen in, and the dates that matter over the next twelve months. Implementation runs through experts and technology, so the plan doesn't stop at the door.

How Express Consultations work

Every ticket includes access to one. Slots are limited by the number of experts in the room, and they are taken in registration order.

  1. Register for the event. Your place in line for an Express Consultation follows your registration.

  2. Sit down with an immigration expert for 5 minutes and ask the question you actually came with.

  3. Take the answer home on your strategy sheet, along with what to do next week.

What to bring Your permit or study dates, any refusal letter, and your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score if you have one. The more specific your question, the more useful the five minutes.

Questions

Is this legal advice?

The sessions are general information. Express Consultations are with independently licensed immigration professionals, and what they tell you about your own file is between you and them.

What should I bring?

Your permit or study dates, any refusal letter, and your CRS score if you have one. The more specific your question, the more useful the five minutes.

Am I guaranteed an Express Consultation?

Access is included with every ticket, but slots are limited by how many experts are in the room and are taken in registration order. Register early if the Express Consultation is why you're coming.

Will it be recorded?

Recording details will be confirmed closer to the event.

Can I attend online?

The evening is planned as in-person in Halifax. Any online option will be confirmed closer to the event.

Can I get a refund?

Tickets are handled on Luma, and refunds follow the policy shown at checkout.

See you in Halifax.

Friday, November 20. Walk in with a question, walk out with the next three moves, in order.
