Immigration Consultant in Kitchener and Waterloo

Immigration Consultant in Kitchener and Waterloo

SAAB Immigration Services Inc. serves clients across Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge and Guelph. We meet clients in the region by appointment and work remotely by video or telephone throughout. Our registered office is at 5-2155 Dunwin Drive, Mississauga, Ontario L5L 4M1. Your file is handled by Dikshit Soni, a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant, licence R536007, and a Commissioner of Oaths in Ontario.

Being regulated matters more than it sounds. It means there is a named professional accountable to a regulator for the advice you receive, and a route to complain if that advice is wrong. In a region with this many newcomers, that is not a given.

The Local Issue Most Employers Here Do Not Know About

If you are an employer in this region trying to hire a foreign worker, read this before you pay anyone a fee.

Low-Wage LMIA Applications in Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo:

  • ESDC refuses to process low-wage LMIA applications in census metropolitan areas where unemployment is at or above six per cent
  • Kitchener-Cambridge-Waterloo is on the current list, which runs from 10 July to 8 October 2026
  • The list is refreshed quarterly, so a position that is blocked this quarter may open next quarter
  • Exemptions apply for primary agriculture, construction, food manufacturing, hospitals, and nursing and residential care
  • Positions of 120 days or less are also exempt

We check this before an application is prepared, not after the fee is paid. If your role is blocked this quarter, we will tell you, and we will tell you whether the high-wage stream, an LMIA-exempt category, or simply waiting for the next quarterly refresh is the better route. That conversation costs you nothing and saves the $1,000 per position application fee.

For Students and Graduates in the Region

Between the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University and Conestoga College, this region has one of the highest concentrations of international students in Canada. It also has the highest concentration of people who chose a programme without checking what it leads to.

The Questions to Settle Before You Enrol:

  • Does this specific programme, at this institution, at this credential level, lead to a post-graduation work permit
  • The eligible field of study list was frozen for all of 2026, so a programme not on it now will not become eligible while you study
  • Graduates of non-credit programmes are not eligible for a post-graduation work permit at all
  • Language thresholds now apply
    CLB 7 for university programmes, CLB 5 for college and other non-university programmes
  • Changing institution requires a new study permit before you begin studying there, not merely a notification to IRCC

We would rather tell a prospective client that the programme they have been sold leads nowhere than take the file and let them discover it three years later. If you are already here and something has gone wrong, restoration of status and study permit compliance are among the files we handle most often.

Book a Consultation in Kitchener or Waterloo

A consultation is a working session, not a sales call. Bring your documents, and your refusal letter if you have one. You will leave with a documented assessment of what is realistically possible, what it would take, and an honest view on whether it is worth pursuing at all.

What to Bring:

  • Any refusal letter or decision you have received
  • Your passport and current status documents
  • Language test results and educational credential assessments if you have them
  • Employment reference letters showing dates, hours and duties
  • A note of any previous refusal, removal or misrepresentation finding, anywhere in the world

Who You Will Be Working With

Every file opened at our Kitchener and Waterloo office is handled personally by a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant in good standing with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants. Matters that require Federal Court intervention, such as a judicial review, are escalated to our affiliated law office, Pallavi Law Office.
