SAMPLE: Summary of Initial Immigration Consultation (with high PR potential)

Dear Colleagues,

This is a general feedback template that may be used in situations where your client appears to have a strong profile and a reasonable possibility of securing a Canadian visa or permanent residence pathway.

While the College does not mandate written feedback after initial consultation under the Retainer Agreement Regulation, providing a written summary is strongly encouraged as a best practice. It demonstrates professionalism, transparency, and due diligence—whether the consultation is paid or pro bono.

You are welcome to adapt the template below to best fit your client’s specific circumstances.
Please note that no credit, endorsement, or liability is assumed in relation to your business operations or client advice. Use this template at your own professional discretion and in accordance with your regulatory obligations.

Kind regards,
