Rashmi is the founder and the lead practitioner at Cougar Immigration. She is a regulated and licensed member in good standing of the ICCRC (Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council). She is also an active member of the Canadian Association of Professional Immigration Consultants (CAPIC). 

Rashmi migrated with her parents a little more than two decades ago from the middle-east as a young child and experienced all the complexities involved in migration and settlement for newcomers and their families in Canada. After completing her undergraduate degree in Psychology from York University, Rashmi started working for the Federal Government of Canada. During her time with the Federal Government, she learnt that Canada is looking to open the door to 1 million new immigrants in the next few years. Coming from an immigrant background herself,  Rashmi decided that she wanted to take up immigration as her profession formally. She wanted to help aspiring immigrants and their families in making their Canadian dream come true and help the transition to their new home as smooth as possible. To achieve that, Rashmi completed a Canadian Immigration Law diploma from Herzing College and became a Regulated Canadian Immigration Practitioner. Her ultimate goal is to be an Immigration & Criminal Defence Attorney regulated by the Canadian Bar Association and therefore is a Juris Doctor candidate at the prestigious Queen’s University Law School in Ontario.

Rashmi is skilled in Immigration Law, Legal Writing, Immigration Policy, Legal Research, and exclusively practices Canadian immigration law. This focus allows her to stay abreast of the constantly changing laws and policies that affect clients. She handles all types of immigration cases, including business immigration, family immigration, deportation and removal defence cases, among other types of cases.

Clients know Cougar Immigration as a team that has their best interests in mind and will do what it takes to “make it happen”!
