From "do I need a visa?" to "submitted on IRCC."
A walkthrough of every step. No surprises. You stay the named filer the whole time.
Eligibility check (free, 2 min)
Five questions. We tell you whether the self-serve flow fits your case, or whether you'd be better off with a licensed RCIC. No signup or payment to complete this.
Sign up (free, 1 min)
Email + password. We accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at sign-up (required by Canadian privacy law). No credit card yet.
Plain-language questionnaire (~25 min)
About 12 sections, each broken into bite-sized questions. Mobile-friendly. Save and resume any time. We tell you which documents to upload as you go.
Document upload + AI extraction
Snap a photo of your passport — your name, DOB, and passport number are auto-filled. Same for employment letters, bank statements, invitation letters. AES-256 encrypted, stored in Canada.
Forms generated (instant)
IMM 5257 (Visitor Visa), IMM 5645 (Family Information), and a custom Letter of Explanation written from your specific answers. Watermarked drafts pre-payment; clean PDFs after.
Pay when you're ready
Choose Starter ($99), Plus ($249, includes RCIC review), or Premium ($399, adds a 30-min consult). One-time fee. The IRCC government fee ($100 CAD) is paid separately on IRCC's portal.
Optional: RCIC review (Plus/Premium)
A licensed RCIC reads your application, flags weak spots, and writes a structured review. If you chose Premium, you also get a 30-minute video call. Turnaround: 1-3 business days.
Install the browser extension
Available on Chrome. We give you a pairing code that links the extension to your Canopath account. Works only on IRCC's portal — never collects data from other sites.
Auto-fill the IRCC portal
Open IRCC's online application, click "Fill This Page" on each section, review what the extension filled, and continue. The extension fills 25+ pages in minutes — what normally takes hours of copy-paste.
You click submit on IRCC's site
Canopath never submits on your behalf. You review the final summary on IRCC's portal, pay IRCC's $100 fee, and submit. Done.
