What Immigrate Software does

Immigrate Software Inc. is a Saskatoon-based private technology company founded in December 2017 by Keli Propp and Dirk Propp, operating a managed-services talent and immigration platform under the domain immigrate.biz. The company operates two integrated product surfaces: a talent sourcing and job board product that connects Canadian employers with a pool of 40,000+ workers in Canada and abroad, and an immigration application product that prepares and submits LMIA applications, work permits, and other filings on behalf of employers and individuals through a network of Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) registered with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants.

The platform is built around automation of Canadian immigration workflows, including automated government-form autofilling, multi-channel job ad distribution across domestic and international channels, candidate eligibility matching against job criteria, video resume ingestion, and real-time application status tracking, supplemented by a 24/7 Immigration AI Chatbot. An Ultimate Talent Pool Builder module, launched in August 2024, adds advanced candidate filtering by citizenship, PR status, and qualifications. The technology stack is cloud-based and the platform is delivered as a self-serve web application at app.immigrate.biz, with a public job board at jobs.immigrate.biz.

Immigrate generates revenue from three streams: (1) employer-paid 90-day job ad packages priced at $1,750 with unlimited local Canadian/PR hires, (2) quote-based LMIA and work permit application services delivered through CICC-licensed consultants, and (3) expert consultation services booked by job seekers and employers. The go-to-market combines a product-led self-serve motion for SMBs and job seekers with inside-sales and enterprise field-sales motions for large multi-position employers. Since founding, the company reports having served over 500 Canadian businesses and achieving a 99.5% application approval rate.

Direct peers

• Envoy Global: Envoy Global is an immigration platform combining attorney-led services with technology-driven case management for employers hiring foreign talent. It is the closest direct peer to Immigrate, competing in employer-sponsored immigration with similar automation and RCIC-equivalent (attorney) network coverage.
• VisaPlace: VisaPlace is a Canadian immigration consultancy and platform connecting applicants with RCICs across categories like Express Entry, work permits, and family sponsorship. Direct peer in the Canadian market with overlapping customer base (international job seekers) and service model.
• Canadim: Canadim is a Montreal-based Canadian immigration law firm offering application services across federal and provincial programs. Direct peer targeting the same job-seeker and immigrant customer base with comparable RCIC/lawyer-led service delivery.
• Active Immigration Calgary: Active Immigration is a Canadian immigration consultancy offering LMIA, work permit, and permanent residence services with online application support. Direct peer in the same Canadian SMB and individual applicant market that Immigrate targets.

Broad incumbents

• Fragomen: Fragomen is the world's largest immigration law firm, serving multinational employers with work permit, visa, and global mobility services. It is a broad incumbent offering overlapping capabilities to Immigrate's enterprise employer segment, though delivered via law-firm model rather than a self-serve platform.
• Berry Appleman & Leiden (BAL): BAL is a major corporate immigration law firm with proprietary technology (BAL Pro) for case management. Comparable to Immigrate as a tech-enabled immigration services provider, but focused on large multinational employers rather than Canadian SMBs.
• Indeed Canada: Indeed is the dominant global job board with a large Canadian employer base. It competes with Immigrate's job board and talent sourcing layers, though it does not offer immigration processing or RCIC integration, making it an adjacent incumbent rather than a full substitute.
• LinkedIn: LinkedIn is the leading professional network and recruiting platform with deep employer penetration in Canada. Broad incumbent overlapping with Immigrate on talent sourcing, but lacking dedicated immigration workflow automation and RCIC services.
• Robert Half Canada: Robert Half is a global staffing and recruitment firm with a Canadian operation focused on professional and administrative placements. Broad incumbent overlapping with Immigrate on the employer hiring side, though Robert Half's model is traditional staffing rather than immigration-software-enabled talent sourcing.

Regional players

• Jobboom: Jobboom is a Quebec-rooted Canadian job board and career platform serving bilingual employers and job seekers. It overlaps with Immigrate on the Canadian job board layer but does not offer immigration case management or RCIC services.
