The story

I grew up around this system, long before I ever thought about doing it professionally. Immigration paperwork was part of my family's life from an early age, and understanding it wasn't optional.

I went through the process myself and became a permanent resident before I became licensed. That's the difference between me and a consultant who only learned this system from a textbook: I was the applicant before I was the consultant.

How I work

Full representation only, no partial engagements. Once we're working together, you can expect direct communication and clear updates on where your file actually stands, not just reassurance.

I won't guarantee an outcome, and I won't take on a file outside what I do well. If your matter needs something I don't practise, I'll tell you that upfront rather than take the retainer anyway.

Licensing

I am a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant with the IRB designation (RCIC-IRB), licence number R524774, in good standing with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants. You can verify any consultant, including me, on the College's public register.
