Permanent residence, work permit and sponsorship support for Whitby workers, families and employers, led by a licensed RCIC-IRB who can represent you before IRCC and the Immigration and Refugee Board.
Whitby is home to a growing number of newcomers who arrived on a work permit and now want to stay for good, as well as local employers trying to keep skilled staff. SEP Immigration, led by Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant Sepehr Falahati (CICC #R533959), helps both sides plan the move from temporary status to permanent residence.
We start by mapping your options side by side: federal Express Entry, Ontario’s provincial nominee program, or a work permit that keeps you working while you qualify. You get a clear recommendation, a realistic timeline of the steps involved, and an application built to answer an officer’s questions up front.
When a case leaves the application stage and heads to a hearing, our RCIC-IRB licence lets us continue with you before the Immigration and Refugee Board, including appeals at the Immigration Appeal Division.

Whitby is the seat of Durham Region’s government, and its economy blends manufacturing, distribution and public-sector employers, from a steel mill to major retail and LCBO warehouses. Many residents commute along Highway 401 and the Lakeshore East GO line.
More than one in four Whitby residents were born outside Canada, and thousands of newcomers have settled here in recent years. Work permits, permanent residence and family reunification are a big part of life for these households.
