Practical, licensed immigration advice for students, skilled workers and families in Sarnia, from a CICC-regulated consultant who is also authorized to represent clients before the Immigration and Refugee Board.
Sarnia is a smaller city with an outsized industrial base and a college that draws students from abroad. SEP Immigration, led by Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant Sepehr Falahati (CICC #R533959), works with Sarnia and Lambton County clients who are finishing a program at Lambton College, working in the petrochemical and energy sector, or bringing family to join them.
In a city like Sarnia, the gap between a temporary permit and permanent residence is often a question of timing and documentation: which work experience counts, whether a trade qualification is recognized, and when to file. We sort out those details first, then prepare an application built around them.
If an application is refused or a case is referred to the Immigration and Refugee Board, our founder’s RCIC-IRB licence means we can continue with you through appeals and hearings rather than handing your file to someone new.

Sarnia sits at the southern end of Lake Huron, directly across the St. Clair River from Port Huron, Michigan, and is linked to it by the Blue Water Bridge. South of downtown, the industrial area known as Chemical Valley is home to dozens of refineries and chemical plants, and Lambton College is the city’s post-secondary institution.
That combination shapes the files we see from Sarnia: international graduates looking for their next permit, skilled and trades workers aiming for permanent residence, and families who want relatives to join or visit them.
