What a licence gives you

Four protections you get with a regulated consultant

Authority to represent you

Only licensed consultants, lawyers and a few other regulated professionals may charge to represent you in a Canadian immigration application.

A code of conduct

Licensed consultants must follow professional rules on honesty, confidentiality and conflicts of interest.

You can look up a consultant licence status and public discipline history before you pay anything.

A place to complain

Mr. Ismail is a top-notch professional with great depth of knowledge over vast areas of immigration matters. His advice is direct and highly effective. I strongly recommend him.
Saumitra Ganguly
Saumitra GangulyExpress Entry client
Amir and his team have been very professional and diligent when advising me on the Immigration/visa applications. I really appreciated their consultative approach when answering my queries that were unique to my application. The knowledge and personal touch they bring in gave me a huge confidence during the entire process. I strongly believe that the fast turn-around and successful outcome I have seen can be attributed to the thoroughness Amir brings in to the process. I have already recommended Amir to some of my friends/family and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for representation in an immigration/visa application.
Ariyan BlieberStudy permit client
My study permit got approved after being refused once. I first applied on my own, following YouTube videos. Amir’s team requested the GCMS notes, which showed the officer’s concerns, and rewrote my study plan to connect my Canadian diploma to my career back home. They were very particular about financial documents, down to a bank letter explaining a large deposit. The new application was approved.
Meena UzmaExpress Entry client
Amir’s team helped me from profile creation to landing. What they helped most with was the reference letters from my employers. They know what IRCC wants: job duties that match your NOC code, hours worked, salary, supervisor details and company letterhead. My employer’s HR first gave me a generic letter, and they explained exactly what needed to change. They also helped with proof of funds. I did not know you need a six-month average, not just a current balance letter.
Munawwer TajCanadian Experience Class client
What I really appreciated was their honesty. They explained every requirement in simple terms and helped me polish my documentation to meet IRCC standards. Their communication was excellent, and I never had to guess what the next step was. Thanks to their guidance, my PR application was approved smoothly.
Asad RezviPR renewal client
I contacted Amir Ismail and team for my PR renewal, which was critical because I had breached my residency obligation. From day one I found them very professional. They always listen, respond to your queries, set the right expectations and guide you in the best way.
Javeria TStudy permit client
I had an amazing experience throughout my study visa process, especially with Miss Rija Amir. She answered all my queries in a timely manner, and she listened and heard me out properly. She is a nice lady and a professional consultant with a lot of experience.
Nazia AliSpousal sponsorship client
Amir Ismail and Associates were our consultants for our spousal application to Canada. They were very professional, supportive and sincere, making their best efforts to support our application efficiently and effectively. Our application was approved after two and a half years, and I am very thankful for their untiring support.
Karrar RazaFederal Skilled Worker client
I used Mr. Amir’s services for Canadian immigration under the Federal Skilled Worker program. The information he gave was precise, and the support from his office let me finish all my documentation on time. As a result, I received immigration within 8 months, without hassle. Whenever I asked a question, I got a prompt response.
