Across Alberta

Your immigration consultant in Alberta

Alberta's economy is unlike any other province: energy and technology employers in Calgary and Edmonton, year-round tourism and hospitality in Canmore and Banff, health-care demand across the mid-sized cities, and agriculture and trades that drive rural communities. As your immigration consultant in Alberta, we know how your occupation and employer line up with the province's priorities, because the AAIP rewards experience in the sectors it is trying to grow.

Alberta is our home province, and the Alberta AAIP is core to what we do, alongside federal Express Entry, work and study permits, and family sponsorship. For smaller communities, Alberta's Rural Renewal Stream can open a community-driven path. We assess every route honestly and build the one that actually fits.

We're a Bow Valley practice serving the whole province, online. Wild Mountain Immigration is rated 5.0 across 45 Google reviews, and our licence is public: you can confirm RCIC #R706497 on the CICC register in under a minute, wherever in Alberta you are.

Nicola went above and beyond to assist me with my PR application. She was always readily available to answer questions and give advice, and it made the whole process so much easier. I would 100% recommend Wild Mountain Immigration if you are looking to apply for any visas or for permanent residency in Canada.

Nicola is amazing. She is very knowledgeable in spousal sponsorship and PR. She is a great listener and stays updated with the changes. After consulting with her, all my doubts were clarified. I highly recommend Wild Mountain Immigration for your immigration needs.
SPsatish paridaSpousal sponsorship · 3 weeks ago
I came to Nicola when things were toughest, out of status with expired paperwork. She calmed me down and walked me through everything, the work permit, then the PNP, then PR. She always kept me updated and answered every question, no matter how small. After a few months I had my work permit, my nomination and my invitation to apply for PR. More than worthy, her work and the price are well deserved.

Our experience with Wild Mountain has been wonderful. Nicola was very professional and thorough in her advice. With us having no prior experience, she was patient with our queries and explained everything in detail, ensuring a successful work permit application. I would absolutely recommend Nicola and her team for anything immigration in Canada.

I used Wild Mountain Immigration for my citizenship application. The immigration system can be confusing and overwhelming, but Nic was there every step of the way with a friendly, reliable and prompt service. I would, and do, recommend her for all applications and advice regarding immigration.

What does an immigration consultant in Alberta do?

A licensed immigration consultant in Alberta gives regulated advice and represents you with IRCC and the province across permanent residence, work and study permits, and family sponsorship. We assess your profile, recommend the strongest federal and Alberta routes, and manage the paperwork from start to finish so nothing slips through the cracks.

Are you a licensed immigration consultant in Alberta?

Yes. Wild Mountain Immigration works under a licensed Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC #R706497), governed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). You can confirm our standing on the CICC public register at any time, and we encourage every prospective client to do so before hiring any consultant.

Can you help with the Alberta AAIP?

Yes, Alberta is our home province, so the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) is core to what we do. We assess whether an AAIP stream fits your profile, build your Expression of Interest, and manage the nomination application alongside your federal options. See our in-depth Alberta AAIP guide for the full stream breakdown.

Which Alberta cities and regions do you serve?

We serve clients province-wide. We regularly work with people in Cochrane, Calgary, Canmore and Banff online, and represent clients in Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Grande Prairie, Fort McMurray and Alberta's rural communities remotely. Wherever you are in Alberta, the representation is the same.

What's the difference between an immigration consultant and a lawyer in Alberta?

Both a licensed RCIC and an immigration lawyer can legally represent you with IRCC. An RCIC specialises exclusively in immigration and is regulated by the CICC. For most permanent-residence, work, study and family cases, a licensed RCIC offers focused expertise, often at a lower cost than a law firm.

How much does it cost to hire an immigration consultant in Alberta?

It depends on your case and whether you choose full File Management or our lower-cost File Review. We set out clear, fixed-scope fees in writing up front, so there are no surprises.

Can I apply to the AAIP and Express Entry at the same time?

Yes, and we often recommend it. As a licensed immigration consultant in Alberta, we manage your Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) nomination alongside a federal Express Entry profile so you pursue the strongest realistic path rather than betting on a single program. We assess which streams genuinely fit your profile first.

How do I find the best immigration consultant in Alberta near me?

Look for a licensed RCIC in good standing on the CICC public register, clear fixed-scope fees in writing, and genuine reviews. Wild Mountain Immigration is a CICC-regulated practice (RCIC #R706497) rated 5.0 across 45 Google reviews, working with clients province-wide online by video call and phone rather than in person.

How do I book a consultation?

Book online through our consultation page, or call us at +1 (587) 857-3692. We'll confirm a video call at a time that suits you, anywhere in Alberta, and tell you exactly what to bring.
