What YNJ Enlighten does

YNJ Enlighten (legally YNJ Immigration Consultancy Inc) is a Toronto-headquartered, licensed Canadian immigration consultancy with a secondary client-facing office in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Founded in 2020, the firm is led by Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant Yasara Nanduni Jasingarachchi Perera (RCIC R706200), a member in good standing of the College of Immigration Consultants of Canada (CICC). The company provides end-to-end Canadian immigration representation for primarily Sri Lankan and South Asian clients, with a service catalog of twelve modules spanning the full immigration lifecycle: permanent residency via Express Entry and Non-Express Entry pathways, study permits, dependent work visas, caregiver programs, Post-Graduation Work Permits, Provincial Nominee Programs, visit visas, super visas, parents and grandparents sponsorships, spousal sponsorships, visa extensions, and Canadian citizenship applications. All submissions to Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) are handled under licensed RCIC representation.

The firm operates without proprietary technology and functions as a traditional professional services consultancy. Its value proposition centers on personalized, step-by-step guidance from initial assessment through to permanent residency, leveraging the lead consultant's firsthand experience as a former immigrant, RCIC credentials, and an MBA plus ACMA (UK) professional accounting background. The technology stack is conventional — a website with online appointment booking, multi-platform social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok), and traditional phone/email intake across two geographies.

The business model is professional services fee-based, generating revenue through immigration advisory and representation fees. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; prospective clients are directed to book consultations for quotes. Client acquisition relies on direct-to-consumer digital marketing, content marketing on Canadian immigration policy updates, and word-of-mouth referrals within the Sri Lankan diaspora. The dual-office structure (licensed Canadian entity in Toronto plus Colombo client-facing operations) is the firm's primary distribution channel, supported by no publicly disclosed funding, no acquisitions, and no institutional investors.
