Immigration Consultant in Ontario

An immigration consultant in Ontario who is a licensed Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant is one of only two kinds of representative IRCC authorizes to act on your file, alongside a lawyer. Mirzoyan Canadian Immigration Services Inc. is an RCIC-led firm serving clients across Ontario, in person, online, or by phone. Both consultants hold RCIC licences with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants and paralegal licences with the Law Society of Ontario, a dual credential that is uncommon among Canadian immigration consultants.

Immigration in Ontario: What You Need to Know

Ontario is Canada's largest immigrant-receiving province by a wide margin. The 2021 Census recorded 4,206,585 immigrants in Ontario, which was 30.0% of the provincial population. The province also counted 387,850 non-permanent residents that year. The top places of birth for Ontario immigrants in 2021 were India, China, the Philippines, the United Kingdom, and Pakistan, per Statistics Canada.

The Greater Toronto Area hosts the largest share of Ontario's immigrant population. Other significant immigrant-receiving cities include Ottawa, Hamilton, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Kitchener, Waterloo, London, Windsor, Oshawa, Barrie, Kingston, and Sudbury. The provincial economy spans finance and banking, technology, automotive manufacturing, steel, agriculture, food processing, healthcare, post-secondary education, public administration in Ottawa, and film and media.

Ontario hosts the country's largest post-secondary system. The University of Toronto, York University, Toronto Metropolitan University, McMaster University, Western University, Queen's University, the University of Waterloo, Wilfrid Laurier University, the University of Ottawa, Carleton University, the University of Guelph, Brock University, and Ontario Tech University sit alongside large colleges such as Seneca, Humber, Centennial, George Brown, Fanshawe, Mohawk, Algonquin, Conestoga, and Sheridan. Graduates frequently move toward permanent residence through the OINP, the Canadian Experience Class, or category-based Express Entry draws.

Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program and Federal Pathways

The Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP) is Ontario's provincial nominee program. Ontario's stream page lists nine OINP streams. A nomination adds 600 points to an Express Entry Comprehensive Ranking System score when it is issued through an Express Entry-linked stream. That usually places the profile above recent invitation thresholds, though IRCC still makes the final permanent residence decision.

The Human Capital Priorities Stream (Express Entry) targets candidates in the federal pool with skilled work experience, strong language scores, and qualifications aligned with Ontario's labour-market priorities. Ontario issues Notifications of Interest through targeted draws for specific occupations, French-language proficiency, or healthcare roles.

The French-Speaking Skilled Worker Stream (Express Entry) is for candidates with strong French proficiency and at least moderate English. Ontario draws this stream regularly to support francophone immigration targets.

The Skilled Trades Stream (Express Entry) targets candidates with eligible skilled-trades work experience in Ontario. The candidate must be in the Express Entry pool and hold Ontario work experience in a qualifying trade.

Under Employer Job Offer: Foreign Worker stream is for workers with a permanent, full-time job offer from an Ontario employer in a skilled occupation. The International Student stream is for recent graduates of eligible Ontario programs who hold a permanent job offer. The In-Demand Skills stream targets workers with Ontario experience in qualifying occupations that support labour-market needs.

The Masters Graduate and PhD Graduate streams target recent graduates of eligible Ontario master's or doctoral programs. Masters Graduate applicants do not need a job offer, but they must show Ontario ties, sufficient settlement funds, and intent to live in the province. PhD Graduate applicants similarly do not require a job offer.

Ontario's former Entrepreneur Stream is archived and not accepting applications. Business owners may still hold other Canadian options. The right path turns on the business, the ownership structure, the investment plan, the work history, and the long-term residence strategy.

Beyond the OINP, federal pathways are open. Express Entry manages the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Canadian Experience Class, and the Federal Skilled Trades Program. IRCC category-based draws can target French speakers, healthcare, trades, transport, STEM, and agriculture. To hire help directly, see what an Express Entry consultant handles.

What Mirzoyan Immigration Handles for Ontario Clients

Outside the OINP and Express Entry, the firm assists Ontario clients with spousal and common-law sponsorship, one of its highest-volume file types across the province.

Other services include temporary-residence services like work permits, covering employer-specific, open, LMIA-based, intra-company transfer, and CUSMA-professional categories, plus study permits and the Super Visa for parents and grandparents. Permanent residents who need to keep their status current can handle a PR card renewal through the firm's document services.

How Mirzoyan Immigration Serves Clients Across Ontario

Mirzoyan Immigration serves the whole province on one model: clients across Ontario meet a licensed RCIC in person, online, or by phone, whichever they prefer. For residents of the Greater Toronto Area and Southern Ontario, in-person meetings are available. For clients in Ottawa, Hamilton, Kingston, Windsor, Thunder Bay, Sudbury, or any smaller community, the firm delivers the same service by Zoom or Microsoft Teams, with documents exchanged through a secure portal. The city you live in does not limit your access to the file.

Your case starts with a paid consultation. If you retain the firm, a written Legal Services Agreement locks in the flat fee before any work begins. The fee schedule and the firm's documented method set expectations clearly, so there are no hourly-billing surprises. Call 1-888-636-2122 or book a consultation to begin.

How the Firm Works

When a client retains the firm, one of the two consultants becomes the consultant of record for that file. That consultant reads the intake, drafts the strategy, signs the IRCC submission, and answers every client message between intake and decision. The second consultant runs a second-pair-of-eyes review on the file before submission. The arrangement is not a hand-off model. The client speaks with one licensed RCIC throughout, while the file gets reviewed by both.

Every file moves through the six-stage Mirzoyan Methodology before it leaves the office: risk diagnosis, evidence mapping, document verification, consistency audit, submission, and IRCC response management. The methodology is the firm's internal audit framework, designed to catch the rejection triggers IRCC officers look for at intake. The methodology page describes each stage in full and ties it to the class of officer flag it catches.

Frequently Asked Questions About Immigration to Ontario

  • Yes. Mirzoyan Immigration prepares OINP files under the Human Capital Priorities, French-Speaking Skilled Worker, Skilled Trades, Employer Job Offer (Foreign Worker, International Student, In-Demand Skills), Masters Graduate, and PhD Graduate streams. The firm assesses eligibility, monitors draws through your Express Entry profile, and coordinates the provincial nomination with the federal permanent residence file.

  • Not always. The Human Capital Priorities, French-Speaking Skilled Worker, and Masters and PhD Graduate streams accept candidates who plan to settle in Ontario. The Employer Job Offer streams require a qualifying job offer from an Ontario employer. The right stream depends on your work history, education, and where your job offer sits.

Consultations run on Zoom or Microsoft Teams, and documents are exchanged through a secure portal. Service is available in English, Russian, and Armenian, Canada-wide.

  • Mirzoyan Immigration charges a transparent flat fee, quoted after the initial consultation based on the service and the file's complexity.

  • Yes. Mirzoyan Immigration advises clients in English, Russian, and Armenian, which matters to Ontario's large Russian-speaking, Ukrainian, and Armenian communities across the Greater Toronto Area, Hamilton, and Ottawa.
