Twelve Mile Immigration Consulting

What Twelve Mile Immigration Consulting does

Twelve Mile Immigration Consulting Inc. is a privately held, CICC-regulated Canadian immigration advisory firm headquartered in St. Catharines, Ontario, founded and operated by sole practitioner Paul Kelly, RCIC. The firm provides regulated immigration advice and application preparation across five core service lines: study permits (new applications, renewals, co-op permits, status restoration, refusal reapplications), Post-Graduation Work Permits (PGWPs), Express Entry permanent residency (CEC, FSW, FST), family-class sponsorship (spousal, common-law, inland/outland), and visitor visas (TRVs, eTAs, super visas, restoration). The primary segments served are international students, recent international graduates, skilled workers, family sponsors, and visitors — with a deliberate horizontal segmentation across the Canadian immigration funnel.

The firm operates without a proprietary technology platform; service delivery is a personal, professional-services model in which Paul Kelly advises clients one-on-one, prepares documentation, manages CRS scoring, and corresponds with IRCC. The technology footprint is limited to a marketing website, an enquiry contact form with structured service-selection, an organic social presence on Instagram (@pkellyrcic) and Facebook, and a blog producing plain-language immigration content. A separate specialist sub-brand, The Study Permit Expert (thestudypermitexpert.ca), concentrates the practice's resources on the student and PGWP pathway.

Revenue is generated entirely through per-application, unit-priced professional service fees denominated in Canadian dollars, with published starting prices ranging from $399 CAD (PGWP) to $2,000 CAD (Express Entry) and complexity-adjusted final quotes. The go-to-market is sales-led direct-to-consumer: clients discover the firm via organic search, content, social, and referrals, submit enquiries via website forms, receive a free initial assessment, and convert into paid engagements. Distribution is domestic Canadian, delivered remotely nationwide from the Ontario office, with regulatory accountability anchored to the RCIC designation granted by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC).

Emerging players

Broad incumbents

Comparable because it offers Canadian immigration services alongside a much broader global mobility portfolio, making it the dominant incumbent in the broader immigration advisory market.

Others

Included because it is the governing authority that grants the RCIC license Twelve Mile's competitive advantage rests on, and because it publishes the public register Paul Kelly is verified against.
