Other Services
Cancord supports the Surrey BC South Asian community with adjacent document-preparation services that often come up alongside Canadian immigration matters. These include preparing Indian Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) applications, Indian passport renewal forms, Police Clearance Certificate (PCC) document packages, and Canadian name-change paperwork. Our consultant is also a Commissioner for Taking Affidavits for British Columbia and can commission affidavits and statutory declarations for immigration matters. These services are separate from RCIC-licensed Canadian immigration representation.
In short: Document preparation, affidavit commissioning for immigration matters, and adjacent services that complement immigration work. For Permanent residents, indian nationals abroad and people needing an affidavit or statutory declaration commissioned for an immigration matter. Checked against official sources October 2026.

Who This Helps
Who This Service Is For
Common Problems
Problems This Review Helps Catch
Indian government paperwork, name-change forms, or PCC requests are started without checking whether identity, address, and supporting documents match across the package.
Document preparation steps are mixed up with the Canadian immigration plan, leaving important timing or consistency issues unreviewed.
Notary, commissioner, or lawyer signature requirements are misunderstood, leading to packages that need to be redone.
Clients assume these adjacent services are part of RCIC representation when they are document preparation and referral only.
Other Services files can become weak when forms, documents, and explanations are prepared separately instead of being reviewed as one consistent package.

Process
How the Review Works
Case intake and goal setting
We start by clarifying the purpose of the Other Services review, the applicant's timeline, current status, family context, and what decision or filing needs to happen next.
Eligibility and risk review
The facts are checked against the relevant immigration pathway, including status history, previous applications, deadlines, refusal concerns, and any facts that may change the strategy.
Document and explanation plan
Cancord identifies the documents, explanations, and consistency checks needed so the package tells one clear story instead of relying on a generic checklist.
Next-step strategy
You receive practical direction on what to prepare, what to avoid, and whether the application, extension, reapplication, or alternate pathway should move forward.
Documents
Documents Usually Needed
A planning checklist, not a final document list.
- Current passport, prior passports, OCI cards, or consular records where relevant
- Identity, address, and supporting documents required for the specific consular or provincial process
- Photos, declarations, and forms required by the relevant government office
- Existing Canadian immigration documents that may need to align with name or identity changes
- Correspondence from the relevant consular or provincial authority where applicable
- Completed forms, declarations, and any required supporting explanations
- Evidence that connects the request to the applicant's current status, purpose, and immigration history
- Translations, affidavits, or certified copies where required for non-English or non-French documents
Do not send passport numbers, UCI, SIN, or sensitive identity documents through a public form. Bring sensitive records to a private consultation workflow only when requested.
