Our Process: What to Expect When You Work With Milmantas Immigration Services

Hiring an immigration consultant is a significant decision. Most people go into their first consultation without a clear picture of what happens next. Will you get real answers, or a sales pitch? Are you committing to anything by booking a call? What does the process look like if you decide to move forward?

This page walks through exactly how we work, from your initial assessment through to submission and ongoing case management, so you know what to expect at every stage.

Step One: Your Initial Assessment

Every initial assessment at Milmantas Immigration Services is conducted personally by Dalia Milmantas, a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) with over 25 years of experience in Canadian immigration. You are not routed to a junior associate or a call centre. You speak directly with the person who will be evaluating your case.

Before your consultation, you’ll be asked to:

Depending on the complexity of your situation, we may also request supporting documents or additional information in advance. This lets the consultation itself focus on strategy, not paperwork collection.

During your consultation, we will:

  • Assess your specific immigration situation
  • Walk you through the options realistically available to you
  • Identify any potential concerns, red flags, or obstacles in your file
  • Outline the steps that may strengthen your case and improve your prospects

This is a strategy session. Its purpose is to give you clarity and a practical path forward, not to pressure you into a decision.

There Is No Obligation to Retain Us

Once your consultation is complete, the decision is entirely yours. You may choose to:

  • Retain us for full representation
  • Seek a second opinion
  • Retain a different representative
  • Proceed with your application on your own

This is your immigration journey. Our role at this stage is to make sure you’re making that decision with accurate, informed guidance.

Step Two: Full Representation

If you choose to retain Milmantas Immigration Services, here is exactly how the process works from that point forward.

1. Agreement and payment Our service agreement is sent for your review and signature. The retainer is received in accordance with the terms outlined in the agreement.

2. Customized document checklist Once the agreement is signed and payment is received, we provide a document checklist built specifically for your application and circumstances. Not a generic template.

3. Document collection and review We collect and carefully review the documents you provide. If additional information or evidence is needed to strengthen your case, we’ll request it at this stage.

4. Application preparation We prepare your application and all supporting documentation. Every government form is provided to you for review and signature before anything is submitted. You are responsible for confirming that all information is complete and accurate before it goes to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) or the relevant authority.

5. Submission and representation Once you’ve reviewed and approved the package, we submit your application and act as your Authorized Representative before Canadian immigration authorities, in accordance with the terms of our agreement.

6. Ongoing management We don’t disappear after submission. We monitor your application, communicate with immigration authorities on your behalf, respond to requests within the scope of our agreement, and keep you informed of significant developments. This includes forwarding any correspondence or documents received on your behalf.

Your Case. Your Strategy. Your Decision.

Every immigration matter is different, and no two files call for the same approach. Our role throughout is to provide clear advice, careful preparation, and strategic guidance tailored to your circumstances. Not a one-size-fits-all process.
