Sheridan Okpala, Founder“I witnessed an incident where an acquaintance of mine faced unlawful intimidation from an organization because of his inability to navigate the immigration process independently,” says Okpala. “I have also noticed that temporary residents often fall victim to scams orchestrated by unlicensed agents, resulting in the loss of their hard-earned money during this process.”
Moved by all these incidents, Okpala was driven to establish Shersom Immigration Consulting Inc. with a mission to offer ethical and supportive immigration services. The company aims to assist individuals through every stage of the immigration process and help them build careers in the Canadian job market.
Shersom Immigration Consulting Inc. understands the significance of financial stability for immigrants, who often face the challenge of competing for jobs against candidates with permanent resident status or Canadian citizenship. Despite being highly qualified professionals in their home countries, many immigrants struggle for not having the “Canadian experience”—the criteria employers seek. While Canada’s temporary policy for work permits allows immigrants to remain in the country, they find themselves unprepared for the transition due to inadequate guidance and a lack of a settlement blueprint. Shersom Immigration Consulting Inc.’s expertise lies in facilitating professional integration into a new country.
The company assists clients throughout their immigration journey, helping them obtain work visas, temporary residency, and permanent citizenship. For temporary residency, Shersom Immigration Consulting Inc. handles visitor and business visa applications, as well as assists those looking to study in Canada with school admissions and work permit processing. They also assist employers in filing the Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) applications.
Individuals pursuing permanent residency are offered both Express Entry and Non-Express Entry programs. For the Express Entry programs, their clients are assisted through the Federal Skilled Trades Program (FSTP), the Federal Skilled Workers Program (FSWP) & the Canadian Experience Class (CEC), while the Non-Express entry programs focus on family and spousal sponsorships. Shersom Immigration Consulting Inc. also provides services at the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) level, including refugee and humanitarian applications.
