About

I'm Setareh MoradianNejad (RCIC #: 706978), the founder of SMILE to Canada, a Canadian immigration consultancy dedicated to making people's journey to Canada smoother and more successful.

With a background in engineering from the University of Tehran (M.Sc.) and the Université McGill (M.Eng.), I have combined technical expertise with a deep understanding of global migration trends. I further solidified my qualifications with an Honours Diploma in Immigration Consulting from CDI College.

As a proud member of the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC), the Canadian Association of Professional Immigration Consultants (CAPIC), and the Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia (EGBC), I balance technical professionalism with immigration regulatory knowledge.

I have been invited to speak at Canadian and BC-government-supported seminars, including Impact North Shore, S.U.C.C.E.S.S., and ISS of BC. Fluent in Persian, English, and French, I effectively support clients from diverse backgrounds

Specialties

As a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC), my expertise covers a wide range of programs and application types, with a strong focus on:

BC Provincial Nominee Program (PNP – Entrepreneur and Skilled Worker Streams): guiding business owners and skilled professionals through the provincial nomination process in British Columbia.

Refugee Protection: representing and supporting claimants before the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) with compassion and strategic preparation.

Temporary Resident Visas (TRV): assisting clients with visitor visas, super visas, and extensions to facilitate smooth temporary entry to Canada.

Family and Spousal Applications: advising on open work permits and sponsorship pathways to keep families together during the immigration process.

Express Entry: managing skilled worker applications, optimizing CRS scores, and ensuring compliance for successful permanent residency.

This blend of business immigration, refugee law, temporary visas, family reunification, and skilled worker programs allows me to serve clients with diverse needs while maintaining the highest professional and ethical standards.
