About the speaker

Mr. Stephen

Licensed Canadian immigration practitioner, publisher and author — and the person who stands in front of your students.

Mr. Stephen began representing immigration clients in July 1993. In the decades since he has represented more than 5,000 clients in the Skilled Worker category, and he has built his practice around that group: the people who come to Canada to work, and to build a career.

He is an authorized representative, CICC licence R419719, on the public register of the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants. Look it up yourself — he is listed there as Joy Stephen, licence R419719 — and ask the same of anyone who offers to advise your students.

Student and Career is a Student Herald initiative. Mr. Stephen is managing director of The Student Herald, the publication for students, and these seminars carry that work into the classroom. He also leads Polinsys, the Canadian immigration firm he has headed since 1994. He heads the statistical team of Raw Statistics, which analyses immigration data, and contributes data analysis to IRCNews. He is also an author, publishing under Pearl Pen and Pearl Post.

On myar.me he has published more than 3,000 immigration news and approach videos. 87 institutions are on record as having welcomed him, and the number is growing. Every visit is in person: he goes to the schools and universities himself and speaks with the final-year students.

How to confirm who is speaking: ircnews.ca/consultant shows how to verify a consultant on the register.

First name So we know who we are speaking to, and so our reply reaches you by name. Email So we can reply. We will send one message to confirm the address is yours, and nothing else until you click it. Phone, with country code So we can reach you on WhatsApp if you would like us to — only if you choose it. We never cold-call. Country you live in now Canadian immigration is decided partly by where you are now, and it tells us which office and which timelines apply to you. Province or state Several provinces run their own programmes with their own, often easier, requirements. Telling us where you are is how we find the ones open to you. Nationality (your passport) Your passport decides visa requirements, processing times and some programme eligibility. It is the single fact that changes the most.

We never sell your details. We never cold-call. One email, then nothing until you click.
