Professional Profile
Keshav Sharma is the founder and CEO of ELAAR Immigration Consulting Inc. and a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant licensed since 2018. He advises individuals, families and employers on Canadian immigration matters, drawing on more than 20 years of earlier experience in management, marketing and business development.
For employers, that business background is particularly relevant. Keshav understands how recruitment needs, operational pressures and expansion plans influence decisions about hiring foreign workers. For individuals and families, he recognizes that immigration choices affect careers, finances and long-term plans.
His approach begins with an objective assessment, not a promise of success. Not every enquiry becomes a client engagement. If the circumstances do not support a viable pathway under the applicable rules, he explains that clearly rather than encouraging someone to proceed on the hope that something may change.
Two Distinct Practice Divisions
Immigration Services for Individuals & Families
This division assists individuals and families with permanent residence, Express Entry, provincial nominee programs, work permits, family sponsorship and other Canadian immigration matters. The focus is on assessing eligibility, identifying appropriate pathways, explaining possible complications and preparing applications supported by the relevant evidence.
Immigration & Workforce Solutions for Employers
This division advises employers of different sizes and industries on immigration matters arising from hiring, retaining and planning for a skilled workforce. It helps businesses assess their staffing requirements and select suitable pathways, including Labour Market Impact Assessments (LMIAs), LMIA-exempt work permits and related employer compliance obligations. For employers planning expansion, immigration options are considered alongside their actual recruitment and operational needs.
