She advises on employer compliance audits and provides corporate immigration planning that is tailored to the organization and its needs. She also assists high net worth individuals, professionals and their families with various immigration matters, including family sponsorship, permanent residence, citizenship and complex immigration matters including previous refusals, inadmissibility and residency issues.
Previously, Jae managed the immigration practice of a national firm in Vancouver. Originally from Toronto, Jae has handled complex cases across the country, working with fast-paced immigration teams at an international company and immigration boutique firms including her own.
