Meet Laurie Parris

My first exposure to immigration started when I was working in the Fashion Industry as a fashion designer. It was there while working with migrants and temporary workers who had come to Canada to work, I learnt their stories as they became my friends. I heard about their goal of Canadian Permanent Residence and how so many of them had left behind their spouses and children to start building a life in Canada. Despite this, they were always focused on their goal, to build a life in Canada and bring their families together again.

Choosing to build your life in another country is a big decision, it’s an emotional struggle, and a financial commitment. Some parts are going to be exciting while other parts are going to be down right frustrating, overwhelming, and lonely.

I’ve lived overseas in Cambodia, traveled extensively with my work to many areas of South East Asia, Eastern Africa, and South America and I’ve sponsored my own spouse to become a Canadian citizen. I’ve been right where you are right now, thinking it through, wondering how to begin.

If you are ready to build your life in Canada, to put down roots here, then I’m the consultant for you.

I’ve been helping people navigate their Canadian immigration journey since 2015, first as the Executive Director of a Government Immigration Settlement Agency and now in private practice since 2019.

I will prepare you for what comes next. I'll prepare you for what you will see in your immigration journey, counsel you on how to reach your objectives, answer your questions and research on your behalf. I will support you to be successful with your immigration goals. We will be a team as I guide you on this amazing journey, allowing you to be focused on your Canadian goal for yourself and your family.

 I will help you put down roots and build your life in Canada.
