Immigration.ca

What Immigration.ca does

Immigration.ca is a privately held Canadian immigration law firm and online immigration platform founded in 1994 in Westmount, Quebec, by Colin R. Singer. Operating through the Law Offices of Colin R. Singer and a roster of licensed lawyers (Quebec Bar, Law Society of Ontario, Michigan and California bars) and Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs licensed by CICC and Quebec's MIFI), the firm provides legal representation and consultation across all major Canadian immigration pathways — Express Entry (Federal Skilled Worker, Federal Skilled Trades, Canadian Experience Class), Provincial Nominee Programs across all provinces and territories, family sponsorship, business immigration (Start-Up Visa, Quebec Investor, provincial entrepreneur), work permits (LMIA-based and LMIA-exempt), study permits, temporary resident visas, and citizenship (including citizenship by descent under Bill C-3).

The underlying technology stack is a content-management-driven web platform combining editorial operations (daily news articles, weekly newsletter, My Great Canada Podcast, guides and operational bulletins) with four freemium assessment tools: a CRS Score Calculator, a Free Immigration Evaluation Form, a Language Tests Converter (IELTS, CELPIP, TEF, TCF), and a Citizenship by Descent Eligibility Calculator. These tools and the content engine drive inbound traffic at millions of visitors per year and convert leads into paid telephone and video consultations with licensed professionals, supplemented by ancillary offerings such as Online IELTS Courses.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services fees for per-case immigration applications and consultation engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the funnel runs from free evaluation form to multi-engagement paid legal representation. GTM motion is sales-led via digital content. The customer base is global and horizontal, with primary segments being skilled workers and professionals pursuing Express Entry, families pursuing sponsorship, and temporary foreign workers pursuing work permits, alongside smaller segments in business immigration, international students, citizenship applicants, and corporate/employer clients. The firm claims 1,000,000+ lifetime cases serviced and a team with 75+ years of combined immigration-specific experience.
