Comparison
Lexova vs CaseEasy
Both Lexova and CaseEasy help Canadian RCICs and immigration lawyers run their practice. Here's a fair look at how they compare — and where Lexova is different.
What CaseEasy is known for
A Toronto-based practice-management CRM for RCICs and immigration lawyers (500+ firms since 2017): questionnaire-driven IRCC PDF autofill, a client portal, billing and trust accounting, e-signature and Canadian Azure hosting, with optional AI assessment and document-scan tools.
Where Lexova stands out
- One click captures the whole application from the IRCC portal into a review PDF your client approves in Lexova, and Lexova reads language-test results, ECAs and IRCC letters from the documents for you (Premium plan). Its portal fill covers every form of every family member, lists each replaced answer with an Undo, and never presses Submit, Sign or Pay.
- Switching is not a restart: drop a folder of past client files and Lexova creates the cases with their IRCC forms pre-filled, for you to review (Premium plan) — and every case can be exported again in one click, on every plan.
- Natively bilingual: the interface, the 19 IRCC forms (filled in English or French) and every client e-mail are written in both languages — not a translation overlay.
- AI that goes past assessment: a coherence check that reads every filed document against every form, an assistant that answers clients from their own file, AI cover letters and one-click document sorting.
- A guided LMIA application for all 5 Service Canada streams, with the transition-plan rules enforced and an employer assistant — beyond an employer add-on.
- Integrity checks a client cannot skip: missing months must be filled in, and overlaps and address-vs-activity conflicts fixed or explained, before a form can be submitted.
- PDF Studio: merge, compress under IRCC's 4 MB limit, redact for real and sign — on the practitioner's own device.
