Canadian Immigration Services

What Canadian Immigration Services does

Canadian Immigration Services, operating under the legal name Immigration Consultants of Canada (also DBA: ICC Toronto), is a privately held, CICC-licensed immigration consultancy headquartered at 500B – 45 Sheppard Ave E in North York, Toronto, Ontario. The firm provides fee-based Canadian immigration representation and consultation across the major federal and provincial pathways, including Express Entry, Family Sponsorship (parents, grandparents, dependent children), Spouse and Common-Law Partner Sponsorship, Study Permits and PGWP, Work Permits and LMIA support for employers, Visitor and Super Visas, Provincial Nominee Programs, Canadian Experience Class, PR Card Renewals, Immigration Appeals, and Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) Considerations. The practice is led by Principal Consultant Assad Bajwa (RCIC# R509021), a naturalized Canadian citizen, supported by a team of approximately 18 employees.

The business is a pure professional services operation with no proprietary technology platform; the underlying infrastructure is a WordPress website with online appointment booking, phone and email intake, and standard case management for application preparation and submission to IRCC. Revenue is generated entirely through consultation-based professional fees on a pay-as-you-go basis, with the firm advertising "very competitive and affordable fees with flexible payment plans" but no public price list. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via office consultations (North York), phone/toll-free lines, email, and online booking, supplemented by content marketing (blog, SEO targeting GTA sub-markets) and reputation channels (491 Google reviews, BBB A+ accreditation, five-time Consumer Choice Award GTA winner).

The firm serves individual immigration applicants and families across the Greater Toronto Area — North York, Toronto, Scarborough, Mississauga, Etobicoke, and Brampton — and is privately held with no parent company, no institutional investors, and no disclosed funding history. Ownership rests with the principal consultant, and the firm has been continuously operating since 2013 under CICC regulatory oversight.
