Many of our clients are referred by immigration lawyers and CSIC certified consultants.  The range of services provided can differ significantly between those in the immigration industry.  Some offer job finding services, while others specialize in specific immigration programs.  If you need help with your immigration, we will refer you to a consultant or lawyer whose practice focuses on your specific situation and needs.

insurance

Auto, home and renter/tenant insurance is an area in which most individuals can see significant savings.  You must bring copies of your claims history and you should deal with an insurance professional who is familiar with immigration issues since rules between insurance companies differ when looking at foreign claims history. 

medical coverage

Health insurance is critical for those moving from other countries.  The Medical Services Plan will only cover immigrants after they have resided in Canada for 2 calendar months  An unexpected accident or sickness without insurance can wipe out life savings.      

auto broker

One alternative to buying a car from a dealer is using an automobile broker. Brokers act as intermediaries between you and the dealer. They contact dealers directly and come back to you with the best price. Often, their price will beat what you could get yourself from a dealer, since brokers have the leverage of buying large numbers of cars every year.

foreign exchange

In our experience, the big banks rarely offer the best rates when converting our clients’ life savings into Canadian currency.  When converting large amounts of money, we can refer you to a foreign exchange broker.  A dedicated advisor will walk you through strategies to hedge against currency fluctuations and will work with you to obtain the best rates.
