WHAT ASIAN MANAGEMENT SERVICES CAN DO FOR YOU?
IMMIGRATION SERVICES
AMS provides advises and guidance to individuals who wish to immigrate to Canada
AMS provides Immigration processing services to guide the immigrant through the application processes required by provincial and federal government programmes for:

• permanent resident visas
• work permits visas
• study permits visas
• provincial nominee programmes
• spousal sponsorships
• family sponsorships
• investments (investor, entrepreneur, self employment)
• emergency travel documents
• review of refused visas so applicant can better understand the reasons for the refusal

Each of the above categories has a corresponding set of considerations that require specialized information and knowledge in order to prepare presentations on behalf of clients that provide a reasonable likelihood of success. Given the time and financial investment involved on the part of the applicant it is important that each programme be assessed in detail. AMS provides specialized services for each category.

Mr. Couture is a representative of Scotia McLeod Investment Program. He is a former Trade Officer at the Canadian High Commission. He has more than 20 years experience in business in Sri Lanka as well as an equal amount of experience in business in Canada. He is well qualified to assist future investors who are interested in making a substantial investment in Canada.

AMS has access to a network of qualified associates to assist where necessary with any assessments of the above listed categories
In Sri Lanka AMS / CCAPS Centre
The professional staff at AMS adheres to a thorough interview and screening process to ensure that each applicant satisfies the Canadian immigration requirements for the category considered appropriate for their skills. No fees are charged for this assessment.
If, in the professional opinion of AMS, the candidate meets those requirements, AMS staff will prepare all documentation for submission on behalf of the client to immigration authorities. AMS verifies all supporting documentation, prepares the client for an interview should one be necessary and monitors the application as it moves through the CIC system.
Canadian Legal Aid
AMS has extended its legal services. Chantal Desloges, a Canadian Immigration Lawyer practising in Toronto, Ontario, is working closely with Michael Couture to provide more comprehensive immigration consulting services in Colombo.
