About

15 years of guiding new Canadians.

A Vancouver-born consultancy built on honest advice, meticulous files and genuine care — serving clients in English, French, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Our story

From one Vancouver office to a trusted global team.

Top Consulting Group Inc. was established in Vancouver in June 2011 and has gradually grown into a diversified professional services firm. Today we help students, skilled workers, entrepreneurs and investors who want to study, work, invest and live in Canada.

Our team combines experienced immigration consultants with study-abroad advisors who know the Canadian education market well. Working alongside respected immigration counsel, we handle everything from first study permits to complex business and family files.

We call it our one-stop approach: from preparing your application to settling in after you land, you have a team that knows your story and supports every step.
