Immigration Programs
As a licensed RCIC consultancy, we support Canadian immigration pathways for people living and working in Burnaby. A business professional near Metrotown, a student building a future in Canada, or a family separated across borders, Loveneet and her team have supported cases just like yours.
We respond to Procedural Fairness Letters, handle document requests, and pursue refusal reconsideration for Burnaby clients, accurately and on time.
From Express Entry to category-based draws, we help Burnaby applicants build a stronger profile toward permanent residency in Canada.
BC PNP suits many Burnaby-based skilled workers and business professionals who have a qualifying job offer.
PGWP, spousal, bridging, and LMIA-based work permits, we support Burnaby employers and employees near Metrotown at every stage.
We handle study permit applications for students at Burnaby-area institutions, including SDS and non-SDS streams, DLI transfers, extensions, and urgent last-minute filings.
Spousal, common-law, and parent-and-grandparent sponsorship for Burnaby families waiting to reunite.
Every client starts with a conversation, whether by phone or at our Surrey office. Here is what happens from that point forward.
1
We review your immigration history, current status, and goals. Loveneet assesses your eligibility across all relevant programs and recommends the strongest pathway before anything moves forward.
2
You receive a written plan and transparent fee breakdown, with professional and government fees listed separately. Professional fees are paid in stages: 50% upon engagement and 50% before application submission.
3
A case manager guides you through every document on the checklist. Your application is prepared within 7 to 10 business days and sent to you for review. Nothing is submitted to IRCC until you confirm it.
4
After submission, we keep you updated through to the final decision. If IRCC sends a Procedural Fairness Letter or a document request, we respond with you fully, accurately, and on time.
*Most applications submission-ready in 7-10 business days
Burnaby is one of Metro Vancouver's fastest-growing hubs, but BC PNP, Express Entry, and IRCC's constantly shifting rules are not simple to navigate alone. A single mistake can set your file back months.

Verify their registration on the CICC public register before paying for any advice. Brightlight Immigration's RCIC is Loveneet Paneswar, licence number R522969, verifiable directly at cicc-ccic.ca. Under Canadian law, only a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant, a licensed lawyer, or a Quebec notary may legally charge a fee for immigration advice. Check the register before you pay anyone.
BC PNP is British Columbia's own route to permanent residency, separate from the federal Express Entry system. A BC PNP nomination adds 600 points to your Express Entry CRS score, enough to secure an invitation in the next draw. Streams exist for skilled workers and business professionals with a qualifying Burnaby-area job offer. Book a free assessment to confirm which stream fits.
Yes. We prepare study permit applications, extensions, and DLI transfers for international students living in Burnaby. Once you graduate from an eligible program, you may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit valid for up to 3 years. Eligibility depends on your program length and your school's DLI status. Book a free assessment before your study permit is set to expire.
Both are legally authorized to provide paid immigration advice in Canada. An RCIC is licensed by the CICC specifically for immigration matters, while a lawyer is licensed by a provincial law society for broader legal work. For Express Entry, work permits, study permits, and BC PNP, a licensed RCIC is fully qualified to represent you. Federal Court matters may require a lawyer instead.
Our only physical office is in Surrey, so most Burnaby clients complete their entire process by phone and email without ever visiting in person. If you prefer a face to face review, particularly for a complex or refused case, you are welcome to book an appointment at our Surrey office at any time.
Fees vary by case type and complexity, but Brightlight separates every cost clearly before you pay: consultation fees, professional fees, government fees paid directly to IRCC, and any third-party costs such as language tests. A free initial assessment is available to every Burnaby applicant, with a paid RCIC consultation available for a more detailed profile review.
Your options include an extension, a change to a different work permit type, or restoration if your status has already lapsed, and the right choice depends on your employer, your NOC code, and your PR eligibility, including BC PNP. Many Burnaby applicants near Metrotown qualify for category-based Express Entry draws. Book a free assessment before your window closes further.
A Procedural Fairness Letter means IRCC has a specific concern and is giving you a chance to respond before deciding your case. The response window is typically 30 days, and the quality of your response directly shapes the outcome. Brightlight handles PFL responses for Burnaby clients across every application type. Contact us immediately if you receive one.
