Licensed guidance for St. Catharines students, graduates and families, from a CICC-regulated consultant who can also represent you before the Immigration and Refugee Board.
As the home of Brock University, St. Catharines welcomes a steady flow of international students — and many of them want to stay after graduation. SEP Immigration, led by Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant Sepehr Falahati (CICC #R533959), helps students, graduates and their families plan each move from one status to the next.
The path from study permit to permanent residence has several hand-offs: a study permit extension, a post-graduation work permit, sometimes a bridging permit, and finally a permanent residence application. We map out the whole sequence early, so a missed deadline or a gap in status does not cost you the progress you have made.
If your case reaches a tribunal — a refugee appeal, a removal order or a pre-removal risk assessment — our founder’s RCIC-IRB licence lets the same consultant continue to act for you.

Yes. Consultations are held online, so you can work with us without travelling to Toronto. If you prefer to meet in person, our office is at 211 Finch Avenue West in North York.
Check your eligibility for a post-graduation work permit and note the deadline to apply. We review your program, study history and status, and plan your PGWP and later permanent residence application together.
Some spouses and common-law partners of international students qualify for an open work permit, depending on the program of study and current rules. We confirm eligibility before you apply.
Many claimants can appeal to the Refugee Appeal Division, but strict deadlines apply. Contact us as soon as you receive the decision so we can review it and, where an appeal is available, represent you.
Meet our licensed team in person at our North York office, or book a consultation in advance.
