Descriptiontext

MilkyWay is a private immigration consultancy and law firm founded in 2009, headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, with additional offices in Al Khobar and Jeddah, a recently opened Doha (Qatar) office, and destination-market offices in Mississauga, Canada and Brisbane, Australia. The firm is dual-regulated, holding active certifications from the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC, license R707325) and the Migration Agents Registration Authority of Australia (MARA, license 1798509), along with CICC and MIA memberships, allowing it to legally advise on immigration to both destination countries.

The company provides fee-based, end-to-end immigration services organized into five core lines — Skilled Immigration, Visit Visa, Study Visa, PR Visa, and Business Visa — each subdivided into country-specific pathways (Canada Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs, Australian General Skilled Migration, Subclass 188/132 business visas, etc.). Service delivery is supported by an internal case-assessment system, a free online profile assessment and points scoring tool, and university/institutional partnerships backing the student visa offering. The technology stack is described as immigration databases plus workflow tooling rather than a software product.

MilkyWay's business model is professional services revenue from per-case consultation and processing fees, with monthly installment options and reduced processing fees for Canada Express Entry to drive acquisition. Distribution is sales-led, combining six physical offices with a digital sales layer (website, free assessment form, virtual consultations, and active social channels). The firm reports over 3,000 cumulative customers served since 2009 across five primary customer segments: skilled professionals, students, business investors, families, and short-term visitors.
