Who

Evon Zhou, the Founder

Work Style

Education and License

Dedicated to creating a worry-free immigration experience, Evon adopts a work style that combines hard work and intensive preparation, ensuring peace of mind for clients and herself.

As an alumna of Simon Fraser University and Ashton College, Evon achieved accreditation as a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant in 2019, maintaining good standing ever since.

​Experience

Throughout her professional journey, writing has been a constant thread. Initially, Evon honed her skills as a journalist and a translator for years. After completion of her Immigration Practitioner Program, she gained valuable experience as a case processor working under seasoned RCICs. ​​Her expertise later extends to working with businesses, families, and individuals. Regularly assisting clients with admissibility issues, procedural fairness matters, and refusals, she is renowned for accompanying clients to ports of entry across Canada to facilitate the processing of complex cases. She takes pride in her extensive experience handling diverse and intricate immigration and legal matters.

Projects

In 2019, Evon took on a key leadership role in a publicly traded restaurant company's intra-company transfer project, successfully managing the multinational relocation of executives, managers, and specialized knowledge workers.

The project faced two major challenges. First, many employees' work permit applications had already been refused, despite the project being initially managed by a world-renowned consulting firm. The previously submitted materials were set in stone. Second, the company’s unique culture posed difficulties in aligning with the Canadian immigration system. Many executives had been promoted internally from entry-level positions, lacking the conventional career paths and academic credentials typically expected of executives in publicly traded companies. Additionally, some specialized roles within the company, such as the "Bian Lian Master" and the "Flying Noodles Master," were not recognized under Canada’s National Occupation Classification (NOC). Furthermore, proving the essential role of performers in the restaurant scene presented a counter-intuitive challenge. Evon had to craft a compelling argument to persuade Canadian visa officers of the necessity of these positions.

Despite these complex challenges, Evon successfully overturned all previously refused applications. This achievement solidified her stellar reputation in the industry and marked a pivotal moment in her career.

​Competency

We are adept at what we do and refrain from taking on cases beyond our expertise.

​Transparency

We keep clients informed about changes, risks and our actions.

​Empathy

We consider our clients‘ needs and concerns with sensitivity.

In my early years in the immigration industry, I quickly became disillusioned with the prevalent focus on profit over quality. My dissatisfaction with the status quo fueled my determination to forge my path. As I began to build my clientele, I found that my values resonated with those who were also seeking quality. Today, I operate a boutique firm, prioritizing competency, transparency and empathy, steering clear of empty promises.
