Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant - IRB

Hi, I'm Arsh Brar, and as a Partner at Waymark Immigration, I'm genuinely invested in helping people navigate their journey to Canada, right here from our office in Abbotsford, BC. This field isn't just a job for me; seeing individuals and families successfully establish themselves and contribute to a community I know and care about is incredibly rewarding. My focus is on making what can seem like a complex process as clear, manageable, and successful as possible for you.

Professionally, I am a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC), fully licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). A key aspect of my qualification is the specialized IRB designation I hold. This is important because it authorizes me to personally represent clients in hearings and appeals before the Immigration and Refugee Board – handling matters like sponsorships appeals or admissibility hearings directly. This ensures continuity and dedicated representation when facing more complex hurdles. My path to licensure involved completing the intensive Graduate Diploma in Immigration and Citizenship Law program at Queen's University, which provided a deep dive into the legal framework governing immigration.

My roots are firmly planted here in the Fraser Valley. I grew up experiencing the community spirit of Abbotsford, attended W. J. Mouat Secondary School locally, and then earned my Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) from the University of the Fraser Valley. You might wonder how a BBA connects to immigration – I find it incredibly valuable. It helps me with the strategic planning needed for complex applications, ensures efficient case management, sharpens client communication, and provides a strong understanding for those pursuing economic or business immigration pathways.

Before becoming licensed myself, I spent three vital years immersing myself in the practical side of immigration law at Brarz Immigration. Working closely alongside my brother, an established RCIC, provided me with invaluable hands-on experience. It wasn't just about theory; it involved drafting submissions, preparing diverse application types, communicating directly with clients to understand their unique circumstances, and appreciating the critical importance of accuracy and diligence in every file.

Here at Waymark Immigration in Abbotsford, my approach is founded on transparency, diligence, and partnership. I believe in breaking down complex requirements into clear, understandable steps, keeping you fully informed throughout the process, and setting realistic expectations. My goal is to ensure you feel supported, confident, and well-represented at every stage.

Being based in Abbotsford allows me to directly serve the community I grew up in, which is a privilege. Whether you're exploring options for studying, working, sponsoring family, seeking permanent residence, or require assistance with matters before the IRB, I'm committed to helping you find the best path forward. Please feel free to reach out to our office to discuss your specific situation – I look forward to the possibility of working together to achieve your Canadian immigration goals.
