About
Our Expertise
I help skilled professionals navigate Canada's immigration system when the stakes feel impossibly high.
If you're carrying family expectations, managing multiple life pressures, and trying to figure out which immigration pathway actually works for your situation—you're not alone. And you shouldn't have to figure it out alone.
My approach is different.
I don't treat immigration as a linear checklist. Canada's immigration landscape changes constantly—programs shift, policies evolve, and what worked last year might not work now. I plan strategically with backup pathways, so you can navigate with confidence instead of confusion.
I specialize in complex cases:
-
Hybrid roles that don't fit standard NOC classifications
-
Experienced professionals losing CRS points to age
-
Spousal sponsorships with red-flag concerns
-
Post-refusal situations requiring rapid strategic pivoting
What I bring:
-
7 years frontline settlement work handling complex immigration crises
-
PhD in History—trained to research ambiguous policies and build strong cases
-
Personal immigration experience across 5 countries
-
Graduate of Queen's Graduate Diploma in Immigration and Citizenship Law
I work with professionals who value strategic partnership over form-filling services. You'll work directly with me—no assistants, no case managers.
Programs: Express Entry | Provincial Nominee Programs | Family Sponsorship | Citizenship
To create an immigration consulting practice where every client feels valued, heard, and informed throughout their journey—where they understand the non-linear nature of immigration pathways, have multiple strategic plans in place, and can reunite with family, establish their careers, and build their lives in Canada with confidence and dignity.
