Open role at Concord
Location: Toronto, Canada
Type: Full-time, Permanent
Reports To: Kevin Park (CEO & Co-Founder)
Start Date: Immediately
Compensation: $75-90,000 + performance bonus
Candidates without current RCIC designation and active registration with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC) will not be considered.
We've processed 3,000+ visas across the US, Australia, and New Zealand. Now we're launching into Canada, and we need our first RCIC on the ground to build it from scratch.
You'll shape Concord's Canadian business from day one: the casework, the product, the playbooks, the culture. If you've been waiting for a chance to do immigration differently (with real technology behind you and a seat at the leadership table) this is it.
We exist so that exceptional people and companies can work wherever their ambition takes them.
Concord is a specialist immigration firm built for the speed and complexity of high-growth tech. We've already processed 3,000+ visas across US, Australia, New Zealand, and the UK for clients like Andreessen Horowitz, Blackbird, Tracksuit, and Zuru, and we’re just getting started.
We spun out of Crimson Education because we saw an industry ripe for reinvention. Our founding team has built and scaled companies before; now we're combining that operator DNA with purpose-built technology to make global mobility seamless and transparent.
Most immigration firms still run on tired email chains and clunky shared drives, which means slow processes, opaque timelines, and a lot of unnecessary back-and-forth. We built our own platform to kill all of that. Our custom-built app gives applicants real-time visibility into their case and automates the admin so our highly experienced legal team can focus on the high-judgement work that moves cases forward.
We hire ambitious problem-solvers who choose ownership over complacency. If you want a seat at a startup where you ship things that matter, keep reading.
This is a founding role. As Concord's first hire in Canada, you'll own the end-to-end immigration function for the Canadian market - advising founders, operators, and high-growth companies across Express Entry, PNPs, Start-Up Visa, LMIA, and Intra-Company Transfer pathways.
But this isn't a pure casework role. You'll partner with our product and engineering team to turn your immigration expertise into workflows, checklists, and automation inside Concord's platform. You'll help set up operational foundations (compliance processes, client engagement playbooks, and best-practice systems) and have direct input into Concord's roadmap, marketing, and hiring as we scale in Canada and globally.
This role reports directly to our CEO, Kevin. There are no direct reports initially, but leadership opportunities in compliance, product, and team management will open as the Canadian operation grows.
Success looks like: a thriving Canadian practice built on exceptional client outcomes, immigration expertise embedded into our tech platform, and a market presence that mirrors the quality Concord is known for in our other regions.
Canadian immigration casework: Deliver strategic, accurate advice across Express Entry, PNPs, Start-Up Visa, LMIA applications, Intra-Company Transfers, and other business immigration routes, providing an exceptional client experience to founders and scale-ups.
Canadian market build: Stand up Concord's operational foundations in Canada: compliance processes, client engagement playbooks, and best-practice systems for the market.
Product development: Partner with engineering to turn your immigration know-how into platform workflows and automation that make casework faster and smarter.
Employer compliance: Support employer clients with TFWP requirements, IMP streams, and ongoing compliance obligations so they can hire across borders with confidence.
Regulatory intelligence: Monitor Canadian immigration policy changes, regulatory updates, and case law, keeping the wider team informed and our advice current.
You'll thrive at Concord (regardless of the role) if:
You're energised by pace and ambiguity, not paralysed by it. When something's hard or unclear, your instinct is to figure it out rather than wait for instructions.
You communicate with clarity and precision, whether the audience is a nervous applicant, a time-poor CEO, or a room full of people who know nothing about immigration.
You're wired for outcomes. You don't confuse being busy with being effective.
You're curious by default. You experiment with new tools, challenge existing processes, and consider "we've always done it this way" a poor excuse.
To succeed in this role you’ll also need:
Current RCIC designation with active registration with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). Candidates without this will not be considered.
3+ years of professional experience across Canadian business immigration casework, with strong coverage in Express Entry, LMIA applications, PNPs, Start-Up Visa, and Intra-Company Transfer work.
Demonstrated ability to manage complex case portfolios efficiently and accurately.
Tech-savvy and energetic — comfortable adopting new tools and genuinely interested in bridging immigration expertise with technology.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage confidently with diverse stakeholders — from founders to HR leaders.
Experience handling both corporate and individual immigration cases, including spousal/common-law partner sponsorship, study permits, and visitor visas.
Bonus points if you:
Have prior experience working with technology companies, startups, or high-growth businesses.
Have familiarity with immigration systems in other jurisdictions (US, Australia, New Zealand, UK).
Hands-on experience using or implementing AI tools to streamline operational workflows, improve client experience, or strengthen compliance.
Your work changes lives, and you'll get to see it happen. It's rare to work somewhere the impact is this tangible. You'll help a founder land in a new city and later watch them announce their Series A. You'll help a brilliant operator relocate for the role of a lifetime, and see their journey evolve from there. The impact here isn't abstract. You can trace a direct line from what you did to a company scaling or a person's career trajectory changing for the better.
You'll grow faster here than anywhere else. We're early-stage and scaling fast, which means you'll get exposure and responsibility that would take years to earn at a larger organisation. We prefer to stretch people into opportunities early - leadership and strategy roles open up as we grow, and we'd rather promote from within than hire from outside. You'll also have access to development opportunities across our parent company, Crimson Education, where 33% of all hires last year were internal moves. Everyone gets a $1,500 annual learning budget, direct feedback through radical candour, and no space to coast.
We’re high trust, and high ownership. Everyone at Concord holds equity through the Crimson Education ESOP scheme. When the company wins, you win. Day-to-day, that ownership mindset extends to how you work: we're office-first but flexible around the edges. If you need to shift your morning for school drop-off or block out an afternoon for focused work - that's your call. We hired you for your judgement, we're not going to micromanage how you use it.
The people here are the reason it works. We're a small team of experienced operators, many of whom are immigrants themselves. We've sat on both sides - as the person navigating a visa process, and the one trying to hire across borders. That lived experience means we hold ourselves to a higher standard, because we know what's at stake. We're tightly collaborative, we challenge each other constantly, and everyone here is expected to contribute at the level the work demands - no bystanders.
Concord Visa is built on the belief that moving countries should be possible for everyone. We bring that same philosophy to our own team. We welcome applications regardless of ethnicity, gender identity, disability, age, sexual orientation, or any other characteristic. And yes, for the right person, we'll sponsor your visa. We know a thing or two about that.
You apply: Submit your application. You’ll also need to answer a handful of questions which help us narrow down your alignment with Concord & the role.
Intro call (20 min): Mutual fit chat to get to know you better. We'll answer your questions too.
Work sample (90 min): A realistic task so you can show us how you think. We’ll ask you to run through the exercise and record a loom for our review.
Final conversation (60 min): Deep-dive on your work sample, your experience, our plans, and whether we're a good fit for one another.
Offer: References, then a call to talk numbers and start dates.
