Expert immigration consulting services.

Mehdi Nafisi is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC-IRB), an immigrant himself who has lived most of his life in Canada. He carries a deep passion for helping others navigate the same system that once shaped his own journey.

With a background spanning IT, healthcare, and business, Mehdi brings a rare combination of analytical precision and human understanding to every case. Before founding Immigreen Consulting, he spent years working in the health sector and technology fields, developing the problem-solving skills and empathy that now define his approach to complex immigration cases.

As a father, advocate for dignity and fairness, and someone who believes in second chances, Mehdi specializes in challenging applications—from humanitarian and compassionate PR cases to residency obligation appeals, spousal sponsorships, and refused visa re-applications. His work is guided by one simple principle: every client deserves trusted, human-centered representation and a voice that’s heard.

Outside his practice, Mehdi is an aviation enthusiast, lifelong athlete, and former martial arts competitor. He has volunteered with youth programs, taught martial arts, and supported foster children in care homes. He has also tutored underprivileged students, continuing his lifelong mission of helping people grow, belong, and thrive.

I had an incredible experience with Mehdi Nafisi. I had a previous refusal before he represented me with my application. He guided me through the entire process of applying for a study permit. When my application was refused again, he helped me challenge the decision and escalate the case to a judicial review with a prominent lawyer. Through his expertise and persistence, the matter was settled outside of court. We were able to overturn the refusal and get my Study Permit application approved.
During this time, Mehdi ensured that everything went smoothly. He helped me stay in touch with my college, secure a new letter of admission, and made sure all the necessary steps were taken seamlessly. His attention to detail, dedication, and clear communication made all the difference. I would highly recommend him for his exceptional support and expertise.

Simply put Mehdi is the reason that I still in Canada. Although my case should have been a pretty straightforward application, Passport delays and the Pandemic definitely made things a bit more complicated.
Thankfully Mehdi knew what to do and was able to expertly bring me through the Permanent Resident application. He is able to navigate the complicated immigration process with ease and know all the ins and out of it.
With the delays that have come with the pandemic we have also had to renew my work permit with very short notice. He was able to do this too.
Mehdi has been able to answer any questions that I have had along the way and has made my immigration process much easier and more straightforward than if I had tried to do it myself!
I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone needing an immigration lawyer!

What is “dual intent”?

Dual intent means you want to visit Canada temporarily while also planning to apply for permanent residence. It is allowed, but you must still show you will leave Canada if required.

You can reapply, but repeating the same application usually leads to another refusal. It is better to address the officer’s specific concerns with new evidence and a stronger explanation.

Most study permits allow up to 24 hours per week off campus during academic sessions and full time during scheduled breaks. Always check the conditions printed on your permit.

A PAL is required for most undergraduate study permit applicants. It confirms you fall within the province’s allocation cap. Master’s and PhD students are usually exempt.

Not automatically. You may still keep PR status if there are valid humanitarian or compassionate reasons for your absences.
