From the Bow Valley to your new beginning.
We are your immigration consultant in the heart of the Rockies, based in Canmore. We live and work in the mountains we love, and we bring that same steadiness, honesty and care to every client's journey to Canada. No false promises. Just a licensed team that treats your file like it's our own.
Your immigration consultant in Cochrane
Cochrane has grown quickly from a ranching town into one of Alberta's fastest-expanding communities. Many residents commute to Calgary in energy, technology and professional services, while others build careers closer to home in trades, health care and the tourism economy that runs west into the mountains. As your immigration consultant in Cochrane, we turn that work and experience into a clear, planned route to permanent residence.
Based in nearby Canmore, we know the Alberta streams that fit Cochrane families and Calgary commuters. For many it's Express Entry or the Alberta AAIP; for others a work permit, a study permit or family sponsorship. We assess every route honestly and build the one that actually fits.
We are a Bow Valley practice you can hold accountable. 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, so you always know a licensed professional is handling your file.

Book my free callDo I have to live in Cochrane to work with an immigration consultant here?
No, you do not have to live in Cochrane to work with us. We're based in Canmore, in the Bow Valley just west of Cochrane, and we work online with clients across Cochrane, Calgary, Canmore and Banff, and represent clients right across Canada and overseas remotely. Whether you're nearby or on the other side of the country, the service is the same.
Are you a licensed immigration consultant in Cochrane, 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 verify our standing on the CICC public register at any time, and we encourage every client to check before they hire anyone.
What's the difference between an immigration consultant and an immigration lawyer?
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.
Do you have an immigration office in Cochrane?
No. We're a service-area business based in Canmore, serving Cochrane and the wider Bow Valley, so we meet by appointment rather than running a public walk-in office. All meetings are held online, by video call and phone, wherever you are, which keeps the process convenient and secure.
Can a Cochrane immigration consultant help with Alberta's AAIP?
Yes. Alberta is our home province, so the Alberta Advantage Immigration Program (AAIP) is core to what we do from Cochrane. We assess whether an Alberta stream fits your profile and, where it does, build your Expression of Interest and nomination application alongside your federal Express Entry options.
Can you help Cochrane and Calgary skilled workers with Express Entry?
Yes. Express Entry is the fastest federal route to permanent residence, and it suits many of the Calgary-commuting skilled workers and professionals who live in Cochrane. We help you build your strongest Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) profile, choose the right program, and manage your application with IRCC end to end.
I work in hospitality in Canmore or Banff, can an immigration consultant help?
Absolutely. The Bow Valley's tourism economy means we work with many hospitality and seasonal workers in Canmore and Banff on work permits and provincial pathways. We assess your work history and your National Occupational Classification (NOC) code, then map a realistic route toward permanent residence.
How much does it cost to work with an immigration consultant in Cochrane?
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. You can see how the two service levels compare on our fees page before you commit to anything.
How do I book an appointment with a Cochrane immigration consultant?
Get started through our online booking page, or call us at +1 (587) 857-3692. We'll confirm a video call at a time that works for you, and tell you exactly what to bring. Every consultation is held online by video call and phone, so you can join from anywhere in Cochrane or beyond.
