Licensed immigration guidance for students, workers, employers and families in North Bay, from a CICC-regulated consultant who is also authorized to appear before the Immigration and Refugee Board.
North Bay has become a starting point in Canada for many international students and newcomer workers, and its participation in a federal community pilot has opened another route to permanent residence. SEP Immigration helps North Bay clients make sense of their options online. Our practice is led by Sepehr Falahati, a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC #R533959).
A typical North Bay file might begin with a study permit, move to a post-graduation work permit, and end with an application for permanent residence. We help you plan that sequence early, so each step supports the next and your status stays valid throughout.
If something goes wrong along the way, such as a refusal, a removal concern or a refugee matter, our founder’s RCIC-IRB licence allows us to represent you before the Immigration and Refugee Board.

North Bay sits between Lake Nipissing and Trout Lake, at the meeting point of major highway and rail routes into Northern Ontario. Nipissing University and Canadore College bring students to the city, and health care, public services, aviation and the regional defence presence are all part of the local economy.
IRCC lists North Bay and Area as one of the communities in the Rural Community Immigration Pilot, which connects permanent residence to job offers from locally designated employers. French also has a long history here, alongside English.
