Establish Foreign Companies in Canada: Business Immigration

Mariam Jammal is Senior Immigration Counsel at Sobirovs Law Firm, specializing in cross-border business establishment and complex international company relocations to Canada. With extensive experience coordinating multi-stakeholder immigration cases involving executives, families, and business entities, Mariam brings a systems-level perspective to foreign company market entry.

Her practice focuses on the full complexity of international business expansion: assessing ICT eligibility for established companies, structuring Canadian subsidiaries and branches, coordinating work permits for key management and specialized personnel, and managing parallel immigration pathways for executives’ spouses and dependent children. Mariam works with conglomerates, mid-market enterprises, and growing firms across industries—helping them navigate the intersection of corporate strategy and immigration compliance.

Mariam’s approach emphasizes early coordination. She advises on business structure selection (subsidiary vs. branch vs. acquisition), realistic timelines for key personnel transfer, documentation standards that satisfy both Canadian corporate law and immigration requirements, and contingency planning for family circumstances that may affect relocation readiness. She coordinates with corporate counsel, CFOs, and HR teams to ensure immigration strategy aligns with business expansion timelines and capital deployment plans.

Her international business background uniquely positions her to guide companies navigating multiple jurisdictions simultaneously—managing home-country employment agreements, expatriate tax implications, family visa coordination, and repatriation scenarios. She brings the rigor of business-to-business engagement alongside legal precision.
