How to send us your documents

Choose the option that fits you best. All paths are reviewed by Atty. George M. Garvida’s team at Explore Beyond Borders Inc.

  1. Type your information on our website

    Use our online tools when you are starting a file or answering questions — no account required for most forms.

    • EBBI Immigration Assistant — tap the chat on any page to ask a question or leave your name and phone.
    • Online assessments & intake — pathway forms (Express Entry, family sponsorship, study permit, PSA/NBI, and more) let you type answers step by step.
    • Client portal messages — after you receive a client number and PIN, sign in to send secure messages about your case.

  2. Upload on our secure website

    Preferred for passports, police certificates, and supporting documents — encrypted transfer to your client file.

    • Upload documents — with your client number & PIN, with an email upload link, or as a guest when our team sent you a link.
    • Many assessment and intake forms include file upload fields when you apply online.

  3. Send materials directly to EBBI

    When upload is not possible, contact our Toronto office. Please call ahead for drop-offs.

Accepted files (portal & most uploads): PDF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, DOC, DOCX — 5 MB or less per file, up to 40 files per batch. Uploads run one file at a time for reliability (with retry if your connection blips). Large phone photos may be compressed automatically before upload. Clear, legible scans are best.
Privacy: Secure uploads go to your EBBI client file and are reviewed by Atty. George M. Garvida’s team. Please do not email passport scans or other identity documents unencrypted when a portal upload is available. See our Privacy Policy.

What happens next

Our team matches your submission to your client file, checks that we received the right items, and may contact you if anything is missing. We usually respond within two to three business days for general questions (urgent IRCC deadlines — call (647) 780-4069). Your representative will confirm next steps; online tools do not submit applications to IRCC without staff review.
