Where is your Edmonton immigration office located?

Our Edmonton head office is at Suite 102, 1253 - 91 Street SW, Edmonton, Alberta T6X 1E9. We are a CICC-licensed (RCIC) firm serving Edmonton and the wider Alberta region. Call +1 587-400-0077 to book a consultation.

Do you offer in-person consultations in Edmonton?

Yes. We meet clients in person at our Edmonton office by appointment, and we also offer secure video and phone consultations for Alberta clients who prefer to meet remotely. Complex files (refusals, deemed-rehabilitation, large family files) are typically scheduled in person.

Are you licensed to handle the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP)?

Yes. Our consultants are Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCIC) authorized by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) to represent clients on all federal and provincial programs, including AAIP, Express Entry, family sponsorship, work permits, study permits, and LMIA.

How can I verify your RCIC licence?

You can verify our credential on the CICC public register at college-ic.ca. Our lead consultant's licence number is RCIC #R513508. We are happy to provide our retainer agreement and licence details before you sign anything.

What does an Edmonton immigration consultant cost?

Fees depend on the complexity of your file - a straightforward work-permit extension and a multi-applicant Express Entry file are not the same. We give you a flat-fee quote in writing after a free initial assessment, so there are no surprises. As an RCIC firm, our fees comply with CICC professional conduct guidelines.

Can you help if my previous application was refused?

Yes. Refusal cases are a significant part of our practice. We review the IRCC refusal notes and underlying file (GCMS notes), identify what went wrong, and rebuild the application with the missing evidence. We do not guarantee outcomes - no licensed RCIC ever should - but a clean reconstruction substantially improves the next submission.

Do you help Alberta employers with LMIA and foreign-worker hiring?

Yes. We support Edmonton and Alberta employers with LMIA applications, LMIA-exempt pathways (International Mobility Program, CUSMA, Francophone Mobility C16, intra-company transfers), and AAIP employer support documentation. We work across sectors: healthcare, construction, hospitality, transportation, oil and gas, and agriculture.

What languages do your consultants speak?

Our team handles consultations in English, French, Arabic, Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi. For other languages, we arrange certified interpreters at your request.

Why Choose an Edmonton-Based Immigration Consultant?

✓ Reviewed by TopNation’s CICC-licensed RCIC team · Last reviewed: April 2026 · Our credentials

Alberta has its own immigration program — the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) — and a unique labour market. A consultant who understands Edmonton specifically, not just “Canadian immigration” in general, catches opportunities that out-of-province firms miss. Examples:

AAIP Opportunity Stream — provincial nominations that bypass federal Express Entry queues
Edmonton-specific LMIA exemptions for the hospitality, construction, and oil and gas sectors
Rural Renewal Stream — communities near Edmonton with accelerated processing
Direct access to Alberta government liaison contacts for complex files

What Does an Immigration Consultant Cost in Edmonton?

Fees vary based on the complexity of your case and the immigration program. We offer a complimentary initial assessment to determine your eligibility and provide a transparent quote before you commit. As regulated consultants, our fees follow CICC guidelines and are always disclosed in writing.

How to Choose an Immigration Consultant in Edmonton

Verify CICC registration. Only consultants licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants can legally represent you. Check their register.
Ask about experience with your specific program. Express Entry is different from sponsorship; AAIP is different from Express Entry.
Request a written retainer. Clear fees, timelines, and scope.
Look for Alberta-specific knowledge. Provincial programs matter.
Read reviews. Check Google Business Profile, not just the firm’s website.

Immigration Consultant vs Immigration Lawyer: Which Do You Need?

For most Canadian immigration applications, an RCIC and an immigration lawyer can do the same work at comparable quality. Lawyers are typically required only for judicial review at the Federal Court. For a detailed comparison, see our Immigration Consultant vs Lawyer guide.
