THE OWNER & MANAGING CONSULTANT
Jaimi Diana Freitas
|
Jaimi was born, raised and educated in Toronto, Canada. As a second-generation Canadian immigrant, she grew up with stories of her parents' families immigrating from Europe. Her own family's history sparked Jaimi's interest in how and why people move across borders. With this mindset, she completed her Honour's Degree in International Studies from Glendon - York University in Toronto. After graduating, she lived and worked in Australia for one year before returning home to Canada to work as a Writer and Researcher with the Multicultural History Society of Ontario. In this role, she created Canada's first academic electronic database of immigrant and refugee stories. Jaimi then worked as a Senior Case and Program Manager at large immigration law firms in Toronto, Canada. In over 6 years in this role, she led and advised individuals and corporations with their immigration needs/desires. In this time she also completed her studies and examinations, certifying as a Registered Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). Now, and since 2018, with her own business registered in Toronto, Canada and London, England, Jaimi serves her clients in Canada, the UK, Europe and beyond. With a true passion for immigration and hearing of unique migration experiences, she is looking forward to meeting you and helping you to realize your dream of coming to Canada. |
