Vizard Immigration is a professional Canadian immigration services organization that has supported thousands of individuals and families worldwide in achieving their immigration goals, with a strong focus on refugee, humanitarian, and protection-based cases since 2021.
Based in Vancouver, Vizard is recognized as a leading Canadian immigration services provider known for its commitment to high-risk and vulnerable clients. The firm is led by a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC-IRB) and supported by a team of nine highly skilled professionals, including immigration assistants, client support specialists, and administrative and marketing staff.
One of Vizard’s defining strengths is its dedication to refugee and human-rights-based advocacy. The team works closely with individuals facing political, religious, and gender-based persecution, providing personalized legal strategies, careful case preparation, and continuous client support throughout the immigration process. Vizard’s success is driven by its commitment to ethical practice, professionalism, and the belief that access to safety and legal protection is a fundamental human right.
Mahnaz Abolghasemi is a licensed member of the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) and an RCIC-IRB (R710045), and the Founder and CEO of Vizard Immigration. Her professional path is rooted not only in legal training but in lived experience. Raised in Iran and later immigrating to Canada, Mahnaz witnessed firsthand how legal systems can either protect or silence vulnerable people. These experiences shaped her commitment to using immigration law as a tool for protection, dignity, and human rights.
Vizard Immigration was founded with a clear mission: to provide high-quality legal advocacy for individuals facing displacement, persecution, and systemic injustice, with a strong focus on refugee and humanitarian cases. Under Mahnaz’s leadership, Vizard has become a trusted Vancouver-based immigration firm known for handling complex, high-risk files involving political, religious, and gender-based persecution. Her approach combines rigorous legal strategy with trauma-informed, client-centered representation.
Mahnaz specializes in Permanent Residence pathways, including Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs), spousal sponsorship, humanitarian and compassionate applications, and refugee claims. Her background in healthcare and advocacy informs her legal practice, allowing her to work effectively with vulnerable clients while maintaining the highest professional and ethical standards. Every application submitted by Vizard is carefully prepared to meet regulatory and evidentiary requirements, maximizing the likelihood of success.
As an IRB-licensed consultant, Mahnaz is authorized to represent clients before the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, including in refugee claims, admissibility hearings, and appeal matters. Vizard also provides support for study permits, work permits (including LMIA-based applications), and visitor visas, and works with legal counsel when judicial review before the Federal Court is required, ensuring full legal continuity for clients.
At the core of Vizard Immigration is a dedicated multidisciplinary team built and led by Mahnaz. Her work is driven by a deep belief that access to legal protection should never depend on where a person was born. For Mahnaz, immigration law is not simply a profession — it is a means to transform lives, protect the vulnerable, and uphold human dignity.
