Immigrants helping
immigrants since 1996.
A bilingual immigration firm in downtown Vancouver, led by Jose Godoy, RCIC. Every case starts with a free first interview where we tell you honestly what we think about your case.
Most of our team has been on your side of the table.
A bilingual practice built around Latin American cases.
Megrez is a senior team working from downtown Vancouver, with consultants and staff from across Latin America and Asia. Most of us went through the Canadian immigration system before we worked inside it. That lived experience does not replace credentials, but it changes how a file is read, what questions get asked first, and where the real risk sits.
Latin American clients are the core of our practice, not a translation desk added to an English operation. We work in both English and Spanish at every step of a case, and no file goes out the door reviewed by only one person. A senior consultant sets the strategy. A second consultant reviews documents before submission.

Working in Canadian immigration since 1996.
Jose Godoy is the founder and senior consultant at Megrez.
Jose has worked inside Canada’s immigration system for close to three decades. He started in 1996, well before the consultant profession came under its current regulatory framework, and has remained continuously licensed through every iteration of it: CSIC, then ICCRC, and now the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants of Canada. His practice covers all three divisions of the Immigration and Refugee Board, and early in his career he represented the Cedeño brothers, alongside Rasik Shah, in a successful refugee claim later covered by The Globe and Mail and several international newspapers.
For more than a decade he taught the Canada Immigration Program at Ashton College, working alongside CBSA and IRCC officers in the training of new consultants. Alongside individual files, he advises HR departments of corporations and nonprofit organizations on foreign worker matters, and is a frequent voice in Spanish media when major policy changes affect Latin American applicants.

When immigration is a matter of safety.
For some people, immigration is not a career move or a family plan.
It is the only path to safety.
Refugees, victims of abuse, and people in vulnerable situations face Canada’s immigration system at the worst moment of their lives, often without resources, often without support. When clients come to our office and we see they are in a vulnerable situation, we evaluate their case carefully.
If we can help, we help, regardless of whether they can afford our services. This is a meaningful part of our practice. Most of our team are immigrants ourselves, and we know what arriving in a new country feels like, and what it costs. That perspective shapes how we work, every day.
