Our Team

Tom Yuan

Founder

In 1994, Tom Yuan founded Canada Immigration Consulting Co., Ltd. (CIC), one of the leading immigration law firms in North York, Canada.

In the 1980s, Canada experienced an unprecedented wave of immigration of families looking to relocate and settle in a country that offered safety, prosperity and a future for themselves and their loved ones. Tom witnessed the difficulties these new immigrants faced during this pivotal moment and made it his mission to create a seamless process that would help pave the way for thousands of people to come to Canada.

Under his leadership, CIC has become a gateway for clients who seek a better future for themselves and their families for the past 30 years.

Amid the changing immigration legislation over time, shaped by evolving social, political, and economic tides, Tom’s keen commitment to duty and professionalism never faltered—he continues to provide guidance to many about the process of moving to Canada, holding his clients’ best interests at heart.

Through his knowledge, generosity and compassion, Tom has made an established name for himself in his community. He is regularly invited by OMNI News as a guest speaker to share his insights on immigration current events.

Tom’s passion and pursuit of excellence continues to flow through his daughter, Jessica, a practicing lawyer in Ontario, and member in good standing with Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC) and Registre Québécois des consultants en immigration (RQCI) as well as his dedicated team of staff. As a second generation Yuan, Jessica brings a modern and tech-savvy lens to the company while expanding its service portfolio through her general legal practice. We invite you to contact Jessica for further information on our team and how we can help you fulfill your objectives.
