Katie Laughlin
(She/Her)
Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant & Founder
With a background in Immigration and Relocation, Recruitment, and Event Management, I know first-hand the challenges of getting people from A to B. It takes candour, attention to detail and consistent open communication.
To me, immigration allows for new opportunities and new perspectives. Immigration allows people to start a new chapter in their life, reunite with family, build a diverse workforce, take on new business ventures and facilitate the transfer knowledge that builds Canada's economy and communities. It's exciting, and I'm excited to be a part of it.
Passion for and devotion to my work comes from helping employers and employees create an immigration strategy that is both time and cost-effective for everyone involved. I help achieve the results you need by managing the details professionally and precisely.
I became a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) in 2015, but I previously worked for companies within their Human Resource and Recruitment departments, navigating the complex and ever-changing Canadian Immigration System.
I hold a Certificate in Immigration: Laws, Policies and Procedures from the University of British Columbia, a Human Resources Management Certificate from the British Columbia Institute of Technology, and a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication from Simon Fraser University.

(She/Her)
Immigration Assistant & CICC Student
I immigrated to Canada from Germany with a sense of adventure and fell in love with the country's natural beauty. As a Permanent Resident, I understand the difficulties of navigating the Canadian immigration process.
With a passion for travel and exploration, I am constantly seeking new outdoor adventures, feeling truly at home in the great outdoors of Canada. This love for exploration drives my commitment to assist others in their goals of visiting, studying, working, or immigrating to Canada.
Having personally experienced the challenges of navigating the Canadian Immigration Website, I empathize with the difficulties you may encounter. At CanStart Immigration, I work closely with Katie, our lead consultant, to provide support in preparing forms and organizing documents, as well as performing a range of administrative duties in the office.
With my personal and professional experience, I am dedicated to making your immigration journey as smooth and stress-free as possible. I am here to guide you through the complexities, ensuring you feel supported and confident throughout the process.
