VIVIEN LEE, RCIC
Senior Immigration and Business Advisor
Vivien’s deep knowledge in Canadian immigration laws, regulations and procedures is backed by over 30 years of successful professional consulting and representation of clients from over 50 countries. They have come into Canada as skilled workers, religious workers, business entrepreneurs, investors, family members. Among her clientele are professionals, high net worth individuals, as well as movie stars. Vivien is driven by a deep desire to see her clients succeed in their immigration goals and she is relentlessly passionate over this. Her cross-cultural sensitivity and fluency in English and Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese, Fujian, Chaozhou) ensure that the needs of her clients from every country, class and background are met with professionalism, sensitivity, and exceptional care. Vivien’s immigration practice has brought happy fulfilment to countless individuals and families across diverse ethnic, religious, business, and professional backgrounds.
Vivien has been featured on TV, radio, and other media both locally and nationally. She takes particular pride as a relational well-loved instructor from consecutive classes of students (Certificate in Immigration: Laws, Policies & Procedures) at the University of British Columbia’s Extended Learning Division. She enjoyed the opportunity of sharing her knowledge with the students. Vivien is also a Director of Hope2Offer Ministries, a Canadian charitable organization offering generous humanitarian assistance to some of the poorest people groups in the world.
For every immigration case, Vivien first meticulously identifies her client’s unique situation, then formulates a strong strategy to help them achieve their goal.
