I look at immigration as a life project and not just paperwork that brings immigrants to Canada,” says Alessandra Attias, a regulated Canadian immigration consultant and the founder of Focus Canada Immigration.

Attias brings an empathetic perspective on the Canadian immigration process. A globetrotter and an immigrant, she leans on her experience and first-hand insights to fulfill her mission. Under her leadership, Focus Canada Immigration assists employers in bypassing labour shortages by promptly finding and employing skilled immigrants and vice versa.

The firm meticulously lays the groundwork to prepare clients for an immediate and seamless immigration journey. Through its local partners, – established in Cameroon, Brazil, Italy, France and Tunisia – it vets and validates necessary immigration-related documents with the Ministries of Labour and Education. The company’s local presence also serves as the first point of contact for skilled workers who seek employment in Canada, spreading awareness and establishing trust, reliability, and adherence to the law.
Focus Canada Immigration embodies the “kosher” concept, a Jewish phrase signifying doing something in a proper or legitimate manner, by thoroughly verifying the necessary documents with the migrant’s national government and presenting them to the employer. The preparatory work also includes explaining the immigration process and developing strategies that increase the immigrant’s chance of employment in Canada.

It also actively guides Canadian employers in navigating the immigration process. Once the details are finalized, Focus Canada Immigration commences the recruitment process. Once a foreign worker is recruited, the firm handholds organizations to submit a labour market impact assessment (LMIA), a proof document required to hire a foreign worker legally.

An in-house recruitment team, in collaboration with local partners, finds suitable candidates from a sea of prospects. Armed with 20 years of experience, the firm’s recruitment partner, Dr. Orly Tantchou, finalizes the candidate list that matches the client’s requirements. Once a talent is selected, the employer and employee sign a government-standard contract to legitimize and launch the immigration process.

Focus Canada Immigration goes to great lengths for its clients without sparing effort. Various frameworks of Canadian law are thoroughly reviewed to provide unique solutions to solve customer challenges. For example, a clergy member exempt from LMIA approached the firm for assistance. His family, consisting of a pregnant wife and three Canadian-born children, were threatened to be deported as the border agent rejected the clergy’s work permit. Attias negotiated for the reapplication, and the work permit was successfully renewed. This enabled the expectant mother to receive appropriate medical care provided for every Canadian resident’s safety, and the family could remain in the country.

I Look At Immigration As A Life Project And Not Just Paperwork That Brings Immigrants To Canada


Attias solely relies on the tools at hand to steer clients towards their life projects, similar to the founder discovering hers. The firm’s recruitment team, comprising diverse nationalities who speak six languages, also eases the execution of her life’s mission. In addition, Attias’ experience facilitates the firm to be empathetic, honest, and efficient while imparting information and guidance crucial for the immigrant’s future in Canada. These factors distinguish Focus Canada Immigration from its industry peers.
