Work permits, permanent residence and family sponsorship for people living and working on the Canada–U.S. border, guided by a CICC-licensed consultant who can also appear for you before the Immigration and Refugee Board.
Windsor sits across the river from Detroit, and its immigration questions often reflect that: workers transferred by cross-border employers, engineers and trades people in the auto sector, graduates of the University of Windsor and St. Clair College, and families who have settled here from across the world. SEP Immigration, led by Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant Sepehr Falahati (CICC #R533959), works with clients throughout Windsor-Essex.
For many Windsor clients the first decision is which work permit route fits: an employer-supported permit through a Labour Market Impact Assessment, an intra-company transfer, or an open work permit. We match the permit to your job and your long-term goal, so the time you spend working here also counts toward permanent residence where possible.
Our founder is also authorized to represent clients before the Immigration and Refugee Board, which means refugee claims, sponsorship appeals and admissibility hearings stay with the same licensed consultant from start to finish.

Windsor is joined to Detroit by the Ambassador Bridge, the busiest commercial crossing on the Canada–U.S. border, and its economy is anchored by automotive manufacturing, with Stellantis and Ford among its largest employers. The city also has a long-standing French-speaking community across the wider region.
Roughly one in four people in Windsor-Essex is an immigrant, and many recent arrivals were born in Iraq, Syria and India. That brings us a steady mix of work permit, sponsorship and refugee files from the region.

No. We hold consultations online, so Windsor-Essex clients can work with us from home or the office. In-person meetings are available at our North York office at 211 Finch Avenue West if you prefer.
It depends on your role, your time with the company and the relationship between the two offices. An intra-company transfer is one option; others may suit better. We review your situation before recommending a route.
Time spent outside Canada does not count as physical presence, and frequent crossings make the count easy to get wrong. We help you record your trips and calculate your days accurately before you apply.
Yes. We assist employers with the Labour Market Impact Assessment process and help the worker apply for the matching work permit.
