Regulated immigration support for students, workers, caregivers and families in Thunder Bay, from a CICC-licensed consultant who is also authorized to represent clients before the Immigration and Refugee Board.
Thunder Bay is a long way from Toronto, but the immigration questions people face here are just as pressing: how to keep studying, how to stay after graduation, how to bring family over, and how to qualify for permanent residence. SEP Immigration answers them online. Our practice is led by Sepehr Falahati, a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC #R533959).
Thunder Bay’s place in a federal community pilot gives some local workers a pathway that is not available in larger southern cities. We look at that option alongside Express Entry, the provincial program and family routes, and explain clearly what each one would require from you.
Our founder’s RCIC-IRB licence also lets us represent clients at the Immigration and Refugee Board, so appeals and hearings can stay with the consultant who already knows your file.

Thunder Bay is the largest city in Northwestern Ontario, set on the north shore of Lake Superior. It is a centre for health care, education, transportation and government services for a wide region, and Lakehead University and Confederation College bring students from across Canada and abroad.
The city has a large Indigenous population and a long history of European settlement, and newcomers from Asia and elsewhere are adding to it. IRCC lists Thunder Bay as a participating community in the Rural Community Immigration Pilot, which ties permanent residence to job offers from locally designated employers.
