Licensed guidance for international students, new graduates, tech professionals and their families in Waterloo, from a CICC-regulated consultant also authorized before the Immigration and Refugee Board.
Waterloo is a university city, and a large share of the people we hear from here are on a study permit, a post-graduation work permit or an employer-specific permit. The questions are usually about timing: when to apply for the next permit, how to keep status in between, and which route to permanent residence opens up first.
SEP Immigration is led by Sepehr Falahati, a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC #R533959). We sit down with your dates, your program of study, your work history and your language scores, and turn them into a sequence of applications that keeps you in status and moving toward PR.
When something goes wrong — a refusal, a removal concern or an appeal — the same consultant can take the case further. Our founder is authorized to represent clients before the Immigration and Refugee Board as well as IRCC.

The City of Waterloo is home to the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University, and to a technology sector that has grown up around them. That mix brings in students, researchers and skilled workers from around the world every year.
It shows in the census: more than a quarter of residents are immigrants, and a notable share are non-permanent residents — people on study or work permits who are often planning their path to permanent status.

Yes. Consultations take place online, which suits many students and working professionals in Waterloo. If you would like to meet in person, our office is at 211 Finch Avenue West in North York, Toronto.
Start by confirming whether you qualify for a post-graduation work permit and when you need to apply. We then look ahead to how your Canadian work experience could support a permanent residence application later.
In some situations, yes. Eligibility for a spouse open work permit depends on your own permit and circumstances, so we review your case against the current IRCC rules before you apply.
