Private guidance for global citizenship, residence and Canadian immigration matters.
Montreal is international by nature. For families considering a second residence, a Caribbean citizenship program or a longer-term European option, CIPS provides a private, English-language advisory process focused on fit, evidence and execution.
What clients here usually want
A credible second-country option for the family
Greater flexibility for travel, residence or education
A warm-weather or retirement base
Access to Europe, the Caribbean, Latin America or the Middle East
A plan that can include eligible children, parents or other dependants
Clear coordination of due diligence, documents and local professional advice
CIPS is led by Adam Blum, a former Canadian immigration officer and Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant with more than 25 years of experience. Clients receive principal-led guidance, a clear comparison of trade-offs and coordination with qualified professionals in the destination country.
Does CIPS have an office in Montreal?
CIPS is based in Toronto and serves clients remotely in Canada, the United States and internationally. Meetings can be arranged by video or telephone. Do not add a local address unless CIPS establishes and verifies one.
Which program is best for me?
There is no single best program. The answer depends on desired outcome, family composition, budget, timing, physical-presence limits, nationality and risk profile.
Do I need to move?
Some programs require little or no full-time residence, while others are designed for genuine relocation. CIPS will compare the obligations before recommending a route.
Can my family be included?
Many programs permit eligible family members, but age, dependency and relationship rules differ. Every family member should be screened before an application begins.
Can CIPS provide tax or investment advice?
CIPS provides immigration and program coordination within its professional scope. Independent tax, legal and investment advice should be obtained from appropriately licensed advisers.
