About Synova
Immigration expertise meets business strategy.
Synova is a Vancouver-based immigration and business consulting firm helping individuals, families, professionals and entrepreneurs navigate immigration, build businesses and establish themselves successfully in new markets.
Our approach brings together immigration expertise, business consulting and practical post-arrival support, allowing clients to work with one team through multiple stages of their journey.
Our story
Built on synergy and innovation
The name Synova comes from Scandinavian roots associated with the meaning “Gift from the Sun.” For us, it also represents the combination of two ideas at the heart of the company: Synergy and Innovation.
Synova was founded by experienced professionals from the immigration and business consulting industries who believed these two disciplines should work together rather than separately. Immigration decisions often affect a person’s business, career, family and long-term financial plans. Our goal is to look at that bigger picture.
We have never set out to be the largest firm. Our focus is on the quality of the work, the experience of our clients and continually improving how immigration and business advisory services are delivered.
Our approach
More than an immigration application
Many firms focus on one transaction: preparing an application. Synova was built around a broader model.
Immigration services
Professional immigration assessment, application preparation and regulated Canadian immigration representation.
Business services
Practical support for entrepreneurs and founders, including business planning, market research, startup development, business management and growth strategy.
Settlement support
Practical assistance after arrival, including housing guidance, documentation and employment-related support.
This three-part structure reflects Synova’s original service model: Immigration, Business and Settlement Services.
Why Synova
Strategy before paperwork
We believe the right question is not simply, “Which visa can I apply for?” It is: What is the most practical route toward the outcome I actually want?
That may involve permanent residence, a work permit, business ownership, international expansion, education or a combination of several steps.
Immigration + business expertise
For entrepreneur clients especially, immigration and business cannot be separated. A business immigration application may involve:
- Market research
- A viable business model
- Financial planning
- Investment strategy
- Business planning
- Company establishment
- Operational execution
Synova’s business services include market research, business planning, company structuring and incorporation, startup mentorship, growth strategy, financial management support, sales and marketing coaching, and funding-related advisory.
Long-term involvement
Our role can continue beyond the application itself. Depending on the client and service, this may include:
- Business establishment
- Operational planning
- Settlement
- Documentation
- Housing guidance
- Employment preparation
- Future immigration strategy

The principles behind how we work
Synergy
Better solutions come from working together.
We combine our team’s expertise with the experience, knowledge and objectives of our clients.
Innovation
Complex problems deserve better than standard answers.
We continuously look for smarter strategies, tools and processes.
Excellence
Quality is not an extra feature.
We aim to raise the standard of every part of the client experience, from initial strategy through execution.
Support
Clients should understand what is happening and what comes next.
Consistent communication and practical guidance are fundamental to our approach.
Commitment
We think beyond the immediate application.
Our goal is to support the client’s longer-term personal, immigration and business objectives.
These five principles come directly from Synova’s stated core values.
