Clear, regulated advice for students, skilled workers and families in Canada’s capital, from a CICC-licensed consultant who can also represent you before the Immigration and Refugee Board.
Ottawa draws people from every corner of the world: graduate students at its universities and colleges, professionals in technology and public-sector consulting, and families reuniting after years apart. SEP Immigration works with Ottawa clients remotely, led by Sepehr Falahati, a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC #R533959).
Many of the files we see from the capital involve a transition: a study permit that needs to become a post-graduation work permit, a work permit that needs to become permanent residence, or a spouse who needs status of their own. We map out the timeline before anything expires, so you are not forced into a rushed application.
When a case moves beyond a paper application, we stay with it. Our founder is licensed to appear before the Immigration and Refugee Board, so refugee claims, sponsorship appeals and admissibility hearings do not have to be handed to someone new.

As the seat of the federal government, Ottawa sits on the Ontario side of the Ottawa River, directly across from Gatineau, Quebec. English and French are both part of daily life, and the city is home to large post-secondary institutions that attract international students every year.
More than a quarter of Ottawa residents were born outside Canada, with sizeable communities from Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the Caribbean. That mix shows up in our work: students planning their next permit, newcomers moving to permanent residence and families sponsoring loved ones.
