Who will handle my immigration consultation?
Patrick Leong is the consultant featured at 101Migration. His registration number is R506679, and he has been licensed since November 2009. You can verify current licence information using the College’s Public Register.
Which Canadian immigration program is right for me?
The right route depends on your work history, language results, education, family relationships and settlement plans. Express Entry, provincial nominations and community programs have different requirements. Start with an assessment to decide which options merit a detailed review.
Can I apply from outside Canada?
Many Canadian immigration pathways accept eligible applicants outside Canada. Others depend on Canadian experience, current status, family circumstances or a qualifying job offer. The specific program rules determine what is possible.
Does a job offer guarantee permanent residence?
No. A job offer may be relevant to some pathways, but employer designation, program eligibility and other requirements still apply. Neither a job offer nor hiring a consultant guarantees approval.
What is included in a free assessment?
The assessment is a starting point to share your background and goals so potential options can be discussed. It does not replace a detailed consultation or an immigration decision.
How do I contact 101Migration?
