Education | Immigration | Visas | Canadian Educational Resources
Choosing the right partner for your Canadian education, visa, or immigration journey is an important decision. At Canadian International Immigration Service Inc. (CIIS), we combine more than 20 years of industry experience, professional immigration credentials, an extensive network of Canadian educational institutions, and comprehensive services to help students, individuals, and families navigate their journey to Canada with greater confidence.
With our Canadian headquarters in the Greater Toronto Area and extensive experience serving clients from South America, China, Canada, the United States, and other international markets, CIIS provides professional support from initial planning and school applications to visas, immigration, and post-arrival services.
For more than two decades, CIIS has specialized in Canadian education, immigration, and visa services.
Over the years, our team has handled more than 8,000 immigration, study, and visa cases, giving us extensive practical experience with clients from different educational, professional, financial, and family backgrounds.
Our experience allows us to look beyond a single application. We consider the client's overall objectives and help develop a strategy that connects education, career development, immigration planning, and long-term status in Canada whenever appropriate.
CIIS is led by professionals with extensive experience in Canadian immigration and international education.
Mr. Jo Chong Chow, President of CIIS, has more than 20 years of experience in Canadian immigration, education, and visa services. He is a licensed Canadian immigration consultant regulated by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) and also holds professional qualifications as a Canadian notary.
Other key members of our team have more than 10 years of industry experience, working together on school applications, visa documentation, immigration pathways, family planning, and post-arrival services.
Our areas of experience include:
Canadian skilled immigration and Provincial Nominee Programs
Spousal sponsorship and family reunification
Study permits and student immigration pathways
Work permits and LMIA-related matters
Visitor visas and temporary resident applications
Investment and business immigration
School, college, and university applications
Post-graduation and post-arrival planning
This combination of immigration expertise and educational resources enables us to provide clients with a more integrated approach.
Immigration is a highly regulated professional field in Canada. For clients, working with properly qualified professionals is an important part of protecting their interests.
The President and Manager of CIIS hold professional qualifications as authorized Canadian immigration consultants and maintain relevant memberships and credentials within Canada's immigration consulting regulatory system.
Our professional and compliance credentials include applicable:
Canadian immigration consultant licences and memberships
Professional liability insurance
Notarial qualifications
Saskatchewan-related professional certification
International recruitment-related licences and authorizations
For us, professional compliance is not simply a certificate displayed on the wall. It is part of how we manage cases, protect client information, prepare applications, and provide responsible professional services.
One of the major advantages of CIIS is our extensive Canadian educational network.
Over the years, we have developed representation and partnership relationships with nearly 100 educational institutions, while maintaining access to thousands of educational programs and school resources across Canada.
Our network covers multiple levels of education, including:
Universities
Our university resources include institutions such as Wilfrid Laurier University, Toronto Metropolitan University, Simon Fraser University, University of Manitoba, and other Canadian universities.
Public Colleges
Our college network includes well-known Canadian public institutions such as Seneca Polytechnic, Centennial College, George Brown College, Fanshawe College, Conestoga College, Red River College Polytechnic, and others.
Secondary Schools
We also work with public school boards, private secondary schools, elite private schools, boarding schools, and other educational institutions.
Having access to a broad range of schools allows us to recommend options based on each student's individual situation rather than trying to fit every student into the same institution.
We consider factors such as:
Academic background | English proficiency | Budget | Age | Career goals | Preferred city | University pathway | Future immigration plans
This enables us to build a more personalized education pathway for each student and family.
For international students, choosing a school is only one part of the journey.
A program that looks attractive today may have significant implications for future study, employment, work permits, and immigration opportunities.
That is why CIIS focuses on pathway planning, not simply admission.
Depending on the student's situation, our education services may include:
School and program selection
University and college applications
Conditional admission options for students who do not yet meet direct English-language requirements
Secondary school and school board applications
Custodianship and supporting documentation
Study permit applications
School transfer planning
Career and post-graduation planning
Post-Graduation Work Permit planning
Immigration pathway consultation
Our objective is to help students understand not only where they can study, but also where that education may lead them.
Our services do not necessarily end when a visa is approved.
CIIS provides support covering two important stages:
Before arriving in Canada: education planning, school applications, visa preparation, immigration strategy, document preparation, and application support.
After arriving in Canada: study permit extensions, school transfers, work permit planning, post-graduation options, career planning, immigration pathways, and family status planning.
This continuity is especially valuable for international students and families whose plans may evolve after arriving in Canada.
Instead of treating school admission, visas, work permits, and immigration as completely separate matters, we help clients understand how these different stages may connect.
CIIS has extensive experience serving clients from different cultural and educational backgrounds.
In addition to clients from Canada, the United States, and China, we have served clients from many countries across South America, Latin America, and the Caribbean, including:
Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago, the Dominican Republic, Guyana, Costa Rica, and other countries.
Working with international families requires more than understanding Canadian application procedures.
It also requires understanding differences in education systems, documentation, language, family expectations, financial planning, and immigration timelines.
Our cross-regional experience helps us communicate these differences more clearly and develop solutions that are better suited to each client's circumstances.
Our history is reflected not only in the number of years we have been in business, but also in our long-term involvement with students, schools, clients, and communities.
Over the years, CIIS has participated in and organized:
International education fairs
Canadian education and immigration seminars
School and institutional meetings
Student activities
Client appreciation events
Chinese and Latin American community events in Canada
International seminars and activities in South America
These activities have allowed us to maintain direct connections with educational institutions, students, families, and communities while continuing to understand how the needs of international students and immigrants are changing.
CIIS provides a broad range of services designed to support clients at different stages of their journey.
School and program selection, university and college applications, secondary school applications, conditional admission pathways, custodianship documentation, and education planning.
Study permits, visitor visas, multiple-entry visas, study permit extensions, work permits, and related temporary residence applications.
Skilled immigration, Provincial Nominee Programs, student-to-permanent-residence pathways, spousal sponsorship, parent and family reunification, and other immigration options.
Work permit planning, LMIA-related applications, employer requirements, and supporting documentation.
Where appropriate, our international planning may also include selected U.S. immigration options, including EB-3 employer-sponsored immigration and EB-5 investment immigration, providing additional cross-border solutions for eligible clients.
For students and clients already in Canada, we provide continued support with school transfers, status extensions, post-graduation work permits, career planning, immigration consultation, and longer-term status planning.
