Lee is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant who brings a highly analytical, big-picture approach to immigration consulting, informed by diverse international experience and academic training in philosophy. Born and raised in Edmonton to a family with Dutch and Ukrainian roots, Lee has a personal connection to Canada's immigration story. His path to immigration law has been shaped by years spent living, studying, and working abroad, including two years teaching English in Spain and extensive travel in Latin America, experiences that cultivated both love of the Spanish language and his deep appreciation for the complexities individuals face when navigating immigration systems in unfamiliar cultural and legal contexts.

He holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Alberta, a Master of Arts in Philosophy from Katholieke Universieit Leuven (KU Leuven) in Belgium, and a Graduate Diploma in Immigration and Citizenship Law from Queen's University. His philosophical background strengthens his ability to analyze complex cases, identify underlying issues, and develop strategic approaches tailored to each client's unique circumstances. As a member of the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC), Lee is committed to providing ethical, evidence-based guidance across all areas of Canadian immigration, with particular interest in refugee protection and family class matters.

Beyond his immigration practice, Lee is passionate about integrating technology into client service delivery, working to build accessible, efficient systems that improve the immigration consulting experience. He oversees Fireweed Immigration's digital infrastructure and is committed to ensuring the firm stays at the forefront of technological innovation while maintaining the personal, compassionate service that immigration matters demand.
