An immigration consultant is a registered professional, certified to provide consulting services to individuals looking to immigrate to Canada. They are a member of The College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC), a regulatory body that oversees and regulates the conduct and ethics of immigration consultants. All regulated immigration consultants are required to report to the Government and have to follow specific regulations when working with clients.
Yana Tasheva is the founder of Dayana Immigration Services. She received her professional license as a Canadian Immigration Consultant from Ashton College in Vancouver to become fully authorized to practice in the Immigration field. Yana not only takes a legal but also a financial approach to her clients’ files as she holds a Master’s Degree in Finance. She understands immigration is a big financial commitment and it requires an upfront investment in the beginning.
15 years ago, Yana knew her country couldn't offer what she needed. Canada seemed like a perfect fit - equal work, great education, safety, and endless opportunities. It took her 2 years to learn French, thinking it was the only way to come to Canada. Little did she know, hiring an immigration consultant could've sped up the process. That's why she became one - to help others avoid the same delays and start thriving in Canada sooner. Being an immigrant herself, Yana’s expertise in both immigration and finance have equipped her with the right skills to advise clients on their journey to immigrate to Canada. She intimately understands the challenges that come with being an immigrant. The long process, tricky government websites, and the struggle with English language barriers. At Dayana Immigration Services, we make the difficult journey of immigration to Canada straightforward and stress-free for our clients. We take a personalized approach with each one of our clients, as we understand everyone has a different life situation.

I recently collaborated with Yana on my company's LMIA application and was impressed by the experience. The application was approved without any issues, a testament to Yana's professionalism and expertise. As a busy entrepreneur, it's crucial for me to rely on professionals who can handle complex processes efficiently. Yana exceeded my expectations, consistently providing timely and detailed answers to all my queries. Her dedication and knowledge in navigating the LMIA process and hiring foreign workers are commendable. I highly recommend her services to any employer in need of guidance in this area. Working with Yana was a positive experience, and I am grateful for her support.

I will give 10/10 to Dayana Immigration for their excellent services. Yana, the Director, took excellent care of my Accelerated Tech Path Alberta PNP. She was always accessible to my questions. Initially, though I had a problem with my express entry profile, she went all the way to reach out to the concerned officer, resolved the issue and got my PNP. I recommend with good faith and trust to reach out to their services for all your immigration needs. Thank you Dyana immigration and special thanks to YANA.

You can immigrate to Canada through either temporary or permanent residency.
Temporary residency:

Permanent residency:
Express Entry
Family Sponsorship
Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds
Processing time depends on the specific application type and the volume of applications currently being processed by Canadian immigration. Typically, the range can span from 6-12 months, yet in some cases, the duration may be shorter or longer.
In Canada, there are two primary routes for working and living in the country, one being temporary and the other providing a direct route to permanent residency. The process of obtaining a temporary work permit involves four steps:
The employer first applies for a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)
Once the LMIA is granted, the employer can provide the foreign worker with a Temporary Job Offer
Next, the foreign worker applies for a Work Permit
Finally, the Work Permit is issued.
To acquire permanent residency, one may apply via the Express Entry Program, specifically through one of the following programs: the Federal Skilled Worker Program, the Federal Skilled Trades Program, and the Canadian Experience Class. Furthermore, provinces and territories have the ability to select candidates from the Express Entry pool to meet local labour needs.
In order to be able to work in Canada, foreign nationals are generally required to obtain a work permit. However, there are certain circumstances under which one may be permitted to work in Canada without a work permit.
There are two main types of work permits:
Open work permit: This allows you to work for any employer in Canada, but it is only available under specific conditions.
Employer-specific work permit: This type of permit is also known as a closed work permit, and it restricts you from working for a specific employer, in a specific location, and for a specific period of time.
Another way for individuals from other countries to work in Canada is through the International Experience Canada program, also known as a Working Holiday Visa. You can find more information about this program, including eligibility requirements, processing times and fees on the government website.
International students studying in Canada may also be eligible to work. Some study permits to permit the holder to work either on or off-campus while still in school. However, after graduation, a student will need to apply for a work permit or apply for a Post-graduate Work Permit (PGWP) or apply for permanent residence.
Express Entry (EE) is a popular online system used to apply for immigration to Canada as a skilled worker. The process begins by creating an Express Entry profile that will be used to evaluate and rank your qualifications. This profile can be used to apply for:
Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) program: This program is for those who have significant work experience and/or high level of education and are looking for permanent immigration to Canada.
Federal Skilled Trades (FST) program: This program is for skilled tradespeople who want to immigrate to Canada.
Canadian Experience Class: This program is for foreign nationals who have been working in Canada for at least one year and want to apply for Permanent Residence (PR).
Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs).
The Express Entry program is one of the most sought-after and efficient ways to apply to immigrate to Canada.
Canada offers a unique opportunity to receive an education of the highest caliber while immersing oneself in a diverse cultural setting. As an international student seeking to study in Canada, there are several steps that must be taken to obtain a study permit:
First and foremost, you must enroll in a Designated Learning Institution (DLI)
Gather all necessary documents, such as acceptance letter, proof of identity, and proof of financial support
Apply for a study permit, which can be done both online and by mail
Once your study permit is approved, it is time to prepare for your arrival in Canada. Some of the documents you will need are:
your passport and travel document
valid eTA or temporary resident visa
proof of funds to support yourself
any other letters of reference
proof of living in Canada at the end of your stay
