Rhoneil and his family came to Canada from the Philippines when he was just 5 years old. Rhoneil’s parents worked hard to make their small business successful and ensure their children were able to take full advantage of the opportunities Canada had to offer. 

And succeed they did! Rhoneil completed his Bachelor of Commerce degree and earned his Certified Management Accountant designation (CMA, CPA). He worked in various businesses over the years and eventually became Chief Financial Officer and part-owner of a laboratory business until its sale in 2013.

Rhoneil wasn’t quite ready to retire, but knew that any business he got involved in had to help people in some way.  That led to his decision to acquire an immigration consulting business and become an immigration consultant.  Once he completed his RCIC designation, Rhoneil realized there was a big gap between doing an immigration application entirely on your own, and hiring an immigration professional.  He believed that an online immigration form solution could help potential immigrants self-complete their applications more accurately and efficiently. And thus, Immigrate Simply was born.

Now Rhoneil, Nadine and their four mostly adult children want to spread the word that Immigrate Simply is the simple way to complete Canadian immigration forms.  Check our Instagram and Facebook pages for regular postings on all things Canada.

Ken’s immigration story is similar to Rhoneil’s. Like Rhoneil, he was only 5 years old when he came to Canada from South Korea. Ken and his siblings and parents were sponsored by his grandfather, a university professor in Canada. 

Once in Canada, Ken’s parents also combined hard work and entrepreneurship to ensure their children and grandchildren could forge their own path to success. Their family story included life and work in Toronto, Calgary, Vancouver, and Victoria. The Chong family experienced great joy and success thanks to the opportunities Canada extends to all its citizens.  

Ken’s Canadian story has now spanned over 50 years. He earned a doctorate (PhD) in Chemistry as well as a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) and had a very successful career in business. And, Ken believes his story of success could not have been written if his family had not had the good fortune to immigrate to Canada. Ken wants to help others access the opportunities Canada offers. He hopes that they too will be able to share their story of success and inspire the next generation of immigrants.

Although Tracy was born in Canada, she considers herself very fortunate to have grown up in a family that understands and values the contributions of immigrants to Canada. 

Tracy earned a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy and worked as a pharmacist for 15 years. As a community pharmacist, Tracy met and worked with many new Canadians and gave talks to immigrant communities. Tracy also learned about the challenges immigrants face from her sister, who taught English to new Canadians with no literacy or English language knowledge. 

Tracy and Rhoneil were business partners in the laboratory business where Tracy served as Vice-President of Business Development and Client Services. Tracy recently completed digital marketing through the University of Calgary, and is enjoying researching and writing Immigrate Simply blogs. 

Tracy has always believed that immigrants make Canada a better and stronger country.  She is proud and pleased to help more people Immigrate Simply to Canada.
