Alex - Canadian Immigration Advisor

Emigrant's Life - Stories of people who left their country to chase a better life

In this episode, I am fortunate to talk with Alex Khadempour, a licensed immigration advisor and the Managing Director of CICS Immigration Consulting Inc. His association with the topic of immigrating goes further into his background as an immigrant himself from Iran.
When they moved to Canada, his father went to Dubai to seek a better job. After building relationships with foreigners as they converse about immigration topics, his father went back to Vancouver and established his immigration firm. It was then when Alex got engaged with his father's firm. He started helping minimally through marketing until his dad offered him a job, and his desire to become an immigration advisor ignited.
You can find a lot of really reliable information and resources throughout this episode. As licensed immigration himself, Alex will share with us the system around Canada's immigration process, costs of immigrating, and where to start as an aspiring immigrant.
