Sponsorship, permanent residence and citizenship guidance for Pickering households, from a CICC-licensed consultant who can also stand beside you at the Immigration and Refugee Board.
Pickering sits right on the Toronto border, and many of the people we hear from here are part of established families: a parent who wants to bring a spouse over, adult children planning for their own parents, or long-time permanent residents finally ready to become citizens. SEP Immigration is led by Sepehr Falahati, a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (CICC #R533959), and we work with Pickering clients on exactly these files.
Family cases rarely fail on eligibility alone. They stall on thin relationship evidence, missing financial documents or inconsistencies between forms. We go through your story and paperwork the way an IRCC officer would, then build an application that is complete, consistent and easy to approve.
If a sponsorship is refused, the case is not necessarily over. Our founder is licensed as an RCIC-IRB, so we can take a sponsorship appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division and represent you at the hearing.

Pickering is the westernmost city in Durham Region, bordering Toronto along the Rouge River and Lake Ontario. Highway 401 and the Pickering GO station tie it closely to the rest of the GTA, and Ontario Power Generation is its largest single employer.
More than a third of Pickering residents were born outside Canada, with strong communities from South Asia, the Caribbean and the Philippines. That means many households here are sponsoring loved ones, renewing status or preparing for citizenship.
