Perez McKenzie Immigration

What Perez McKenzie Immigration does

Perez McKenzie Immigration is a Vancouver-based immigration consultancy founded in 2009 by Jenny Perez, a first-generation Peruvian-Canadian immigrant. The firm specializes in Canadian immigration pathways serving three primary client segments: foreign nationals and families seeking permanent residency or temporary status, Canadian employers hiring foreign workers, and investors pursuing residency-by-investment or second passports. The team of 7 represents 6 countries (Canada, USA, Australia, China, Serbia, Peru) and delivers services in English, Spanish, Mandarin, and Serbo-Croatian, with collective immigration experience exceeding 75 years.

The firm's service portfolio spans the full Canadian immigration lifecycle, including Express Entry consulting, Provincial Nominee Programs, family class sponsorships, work permits (LMIA-based and LMIA-exempt), study permits, and citizenship applications. Specialized offerings include employer immigration services for Canadian organizations hiring foreign workers and investor immigration consulting covering the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program, provincial entrepreneur streams, US EB-5 visas, and Portugal Golden Visa. A dedicated UK-to-Canada immigration service line targets the post-Brexit UK outbound market.

Revenue is generated through professional services on a pay-as-you-go basis, with consultation fees ranging from $150 CAD (email consultation) to $549 CAD (after-hours business immigration consultation), plus case-specific application review services delivered by licensed Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCICs) and case analysts. The firm operates with no external funding, retaining full founder ownership under Jenny Perez (Managing Director) and Dan McKenzie (Director). Technology infrastructure consists entirely of off-the-shelf SaaS tools: Clio Grow for client intake and case management, Acuity Scheduling for appointment booking, and standard social media platforms for marketing. Distribution is direct via in-person consultations at four BC offices (Vancouver, Whistler, Squamish, Fernie) and online via Zoom/Skype for international clients, with 90% of clients acquired through referrals.
