Removing the uncertainties of immigration

ImmiSearch prevents scams that lead to major complications by connecting immigrants to licensed immigration consultants. - Immigrating is complex.
ImmiSearch makes navigating the 80+ immigration programs safe and simple. It also helps immigrants find consultants who are specialized in your case-specific requirements. - Rejection rates are high even if you’re qualified.
Working with ImmiSearch’s consultants can increase your approval rates up to 150%.
In demand, and market ready
ImmiSearch was accepted into entrepreneurship@UBC’s incubator in Jan 2021 and successfully transitioned into the esteemed accelerator program in May 2021.
The company launched their open alpha in April 2021, with over 1,400+ visitors and 64 signups, leading to 39 immigrant-to-consultant connections.
With analysis showing that over 60% of their users are based on the east coast, the company is preparing for their August open beta, which will service that market.
A focus on growth
The company has a proven methodology to acquire new users, and is currently focused on increasing conversion rates through high impact product development, a well defined value proposition, and lead nurturing funnels for high-ticket services like immigration.
In their first few months of operations, ImmiSearch has conducted hundreds of user interviews for market research and product validation. As their current focus is on growth and user conversion, they are aiming to target the right customers and communicate their value propositions in a manner that resonates with them across multiple touchpoints, allowing them to effectively scale their marketing funnel.
Covid-19 has given the company insight into the unique challenges and advantages of being fully remote. Customer behavior has also changed, with many preferring online immigration consultation sessions to in-person consultations. But whether it be online or in person, the entire ImmiSearch team is dedicated to company’s core goal of creating a safe and simple way to maximize immigration approvals.
