Straight to the source.
These are the official Government of Canada, ESDC, Statistics Canada, Justice Laws, and WelcomeBC pages the firm relies on. Rules, fees, wage thresholds, and dates change, so the current values always live here, on the source, not on a third-party summary.
Official sources verified on July 11, 2026. 106 of 113 links confirmed live, 6 flagged for review. We re-check these automatically on a schedule, so the rules and links here stay current.
Linking to a page is not a substitute for advice on your file. Use these to read the rules in full, then book a consultation so San Mahajan can apply them to your specific situation.
