Martine Varekamp-Bos

Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant

Martine, originally from the Netherlands, essentially immigrated to Canada twice. Once as a teenager with her family as self-employed farmers, and a second time with her husband, whom she sponsored. Growing up and still living on a dairy farm, with her husband and three kids, she has close ties to the agricultural sector and specializes in agricultural migration.

In 2003, she graduated from the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, with a degree in Marketing, followed by an Immigration Consultant Certificate obtained from Bow Valley College in Calgary in 2008. She passed her full skills exam to become a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant and subsequently opened Immigration Care. Since then, the Immigration Care team has grown, and they have assisted thousands of individuals and families to make Canada their home and Canadian employers navigate the temporary foreign worker program.

Martine speaks English and Dutch.
