We're building the platform we wished we'd had for the last decade of our practice.
And we'd like 10 of you to build the last 20% with us.
Dear practitioner,
Between the four of us we have 49+ yearsacross Canadian immigration practice, enterprise architecture, global banking transformation, and data engineering at tier-1 banks. The RCIC at the front of the table has lived inside the firm. We've drafted retainers in Word. Chased documents on WhatsApp. Tracked PR cases in spreadsheets. Copied the same client's NOC code into seven different forms over the course of a single case.
Every tool on the market has been tried. Generic legal CRMs that didn't know what a Logical Section was. US-immigration platforms that didn't speak CICC. Spreadsheets that couldn't track document expiry. A seven-tool stack at $482 per seat per month, and deadlines still got missed, because no single tool knew what was happening on the others.
The CTO has 20 years of enterprise architecture across global banks, retailers, and logistics multinationals. He spent months sitting alongside the practitioner, watching the actual work happen. Then he said: “You don't need another tool. You need an operating system.”
ExpatReady is what we've been building since. NestJS + Prisma backend. Stripe Connect for trust accounting. Bull/Redis for the RNA queue. A real Smart Questionnaire rules engine, authored by us, line by line. Eight integrated modules that share one data model, one audit log, one permission system. It's about 80% complete and in active QA right now.
The remaining 20% is the part that only a practising Canadian immigration professional can get right. Which follow-up question fires when a spousal applicant has a refusal in their history. Whether the Schedule A goes to the principal applicant or the dependant. How a CICC audit actually unfolds when something goes wrong.
We don't want to guess. We want to build that last 20% with 10 of you. If you're a practising RCIC or Immigration Lawyer who's felt the same pain, and you'd like a seat at the table where the platform is finalized, we'd like to hear from you.
In return: ExpatReady free for life across all your seats, a lifetime royalty as a Founding Advisor, lifetime referral income on every firm you bring in, and the kind of direct relationship with the founding team that off-the-shelf SaaS customers never get.
- The founders,
ExpatReady · Toronto
Give every Canadian immigration firm the operating system their practice deserves.
One platform. One audit log. One permission system. Every module aware of every other. RCIC-authored rules at the core; AI strictly as a hand, never as the mind. Built so a firm of 2 partners can run as cleanly as a firm of 20.
In 5 years, ExpatReady is what every credible Canadian immigration firm runs on - because it's the only platform built for them, by them.
Not a US-immigration tool retrofitted to Canada. Not a legal CRM with immigration labels bolted on. The operating system the Canadian immigration profession would have built for itself - shipped early, co-designed with the firms that matter, and protected by founders who still practise the work.
Four principles we won't bend on.
Everything else - features, pricing, integrations, even our roadmap - is open to discussion with our advisors. These four are the part we don't negotiate.
ER = Engineered
The E with the paperclip is what we do: digitize Canadian immigration documentation, bound to business logic, RCIC-authored rules, and real workflow. Not vibes. Not prompts. Not a foundation model's best guess.
AI is the hand. The licensed practitioner is the mind.
AI drafts letters, summarizes notes, extracts OCR. It does not invent NOC codes, predict eligibility, or generate facts for filings. Decisions stay with the RCIC or Immigration Lawyer.
Premium tool for premium practice.
We deliberately chose 'Expat', the white-collar word for movement. ExpatReady is the white-glove tool for firms serving doctors, engineers, executives, founders. Not a visa-factory CRM.
Configured by you, not opinionated at you.
The admin console is the product. Pathway → Program → Category → SubCategory. Workflow rules. RNA channels. Templates. Roles. Your firm shapes the platform; the platform doesn't shape your firm.
