Our marketing and communications team recently had the pleasure of catching up with alumni Miho Shimizu and Matthew Sell, founders of Canadian Immigration Partners. This powerhouse husband and wife duo have helped hundreds of people make their Canadian immigration dreams into reality. When they founded Canadian Immigration Partners, their goal was to help people navigate the many twists and turns of immigrating to Canada. The pair can relate with genuine compassion and insight since they both went through the experience of immigrating to Canada many years prior. Enjoy our exclusive alumni interview to learn about their career and educational experiences, how they navigate the immigration process and why they were inspired to attend Ashton College.
