What is the Long-Term Future of the Immigration Consulting Industry?

With over two decades of experience in this field, I have learned to navigate the turbulent waters of policy changes. But here’s what keeps me up at night: How can we maintain our clients’ trust and ensure their immigration journeys remain smooth? How can we become more competitive in the immigration consulting industry?

What is our long-term program?

During the last thirty years, an increasing number of countries have introduced Citizenship by Investment (CBI) or Residency and Citizenship by Investment (RCBI) in order to attract foreign capital and boost national economics. St. Kitts, Canada, the United States initially launched the By Investment category in the late 1980s or early 1990s. CBI or RCBI have been adopted gradually in the rest of the world, especially the European countries changed their approach to admit immigrant investors as instruments for emerging from the crisis of recession in 2008. Recently CBI and RCBI have continuously been favored by the market. Why? Frankly speaking, I just make it in a quite simple way, ‘due to the highest profit’.

The Definition of US

I always tell people that I have been in the immigration industry for my whole life. Throughout these years, my understanding of “immigration” is quite simple, help clients get what they want, name it another citizenship, a resident visa, or a work permit. In the good old days when passive investment was the mainstream immigration route, clients came to us with their decision in mind and their trust. We did not really have to think a lot for them because everything was simple and straight forward, either you were fit for the program, or you were not. It was not until recent years I began to realize that immigration had a much broader meaning. And that comes at a cost.
