Blift

Case Management

From first consultation to submitted application

Every case on Blift carries its own documents, agreements, fees and history. No shared drive, no version confusion, no reconstructing what was sent and when.

A drive folder, a calendar and an inbox is not a case file

Most practices run on tools that were never designed for immigration work. Documents live in one place, the signed retainer in another, fee records in a spreadsheet, and the actual history of the case in an email thread nobody wants to scroll. It works until a file gets complicated, or someone asks you to account for it.

What it does

The detail

Applicant types & streams

Configure the applicant types and application streams you work with, so each case starts from the right structure.

Document checklists

Map required documents to each stream, so clients know exactly what to provide and you know what is outstanding.

Digital agreements

Consultation and retainer agreements sent, reviewed and signed in the platform, attached to the case they belong to.

Fee setup

Set legal fees, IRCC fees and third-party fees against a case so the financial picture is explicit from the start.

Submission letters

Generate submission letters from the case record rather than rewriting the same document for every client.

Secure document storage

Client documents stored against the case, shared with the client through the platform rather than over email.

How it works

In practice

  1. 1

    Consultation becomes a case

    When a consultation leads to work, create the case directly from it — the history carries across instead of starting over.

  2. 2

    Agreement and fees

    Send the retainer for digital signature and set out legal, IRCC and third-party fees so the client sees the full cost.

  3. 3

    Collect documents

    The client uploads against a checklist built for their stream. You can see what is in and what is still missing.

  4. 4

    Prepare and submit

    Generate the submission letter and work from a case file that contains everything, in one place, in order.

What changes day to day

You can answer “where is this case” without opening four applications
Clients stop emailing documents and start uploading them where they belong
Fee disputes are rarer because the numbers were explicit up front
If you ever need to account for a file, the record already exists
