Business Immigration & IRB Specialist

Dawood Shakir is a Registered Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC-IRB L3) in good
standing with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC),
Commissioner for Taking Affidavits for B.C. and a member of the Canadian Association
of Professional Immigration Consultants (CAPIC).

With over 10 years of experience, I have assisted businesses in setting up operations
in the UK and Canada while promoting trade and investment opportunities between
India, the UK, and Canada. My work focuses on guiding entrepreneurs through
establishing businesses and immigrating to Canada.

Canada offers a unique environment for entrepreneurs, including competitive
corporate tax rates, a stable economic climate, a dynamic start-up ecosystem, an
exceptionally skilled workforce, and geographic proximity to the USA and Silicon
Valley. My goal is to help clients capitalize on these advantages and achieve their
entrepreneurial and immigration objectives.

As the President and CEO of Dawsam Immigration Consultancy Ltd., I am committed
to providing professional, personalized, and confidential immigration consulting
services that meet my clients' diverse needs.
