Shoukat Qumruddin Halani, RCIC-IRB
Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant — authorized at all IRB tribunals.
About Shoukat
Shoukat Qumruddin Halani is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) under Licence No. R711322. He is authorized to provide immigration advice and represent clients in matters relating to Canadian immigration and citizenship — including at all four tribunals of the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (RPD, RAD, ID, and IAD).
He founded Halani Immigration Services Inc. with the goal of providing ethical, reliable, and professional immigration guidance to individuals and families seeking opportunities in Canada. The practice is based in Toronto and serves clients across South Asia (Pakistan, India), the Gulf (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar), and Canada.
Mr. Halani's professional background spans accounting, fund-raising management, and international education consulting before he became a licensed RCIC. That multidisciplinary foundation supports a disciplined, analytical approach to immigration case preparation — every file is treated as a project with a structured plan, defined milestones, and clear documentation.
Immigration is rarely about the forms. It's about whether the deciding officer believes the applicant — and that belief is built one document, one paragraph, one defensible fact at a time.
