Lastly, I was involved in the major project of the Syrians in Montreal in facilitating the movement and settlement of over 15,000 Syrians in 2016 over a period of 4 months and collaborating with CBSA, Red Cross, Quebec Immigration, Service Canada, RCMP and the Canadian Military.

In May 2022, I successfully obtained my CICC license and have been practising as an ICCRC consultant on a full time basis.

My vast Canadian Immigration experience can support and facilitate your access to Canada as a Temporary or Permanent Resident.
