Featured experts

Two experts. Distinct source roles.

The separation is intentional: Omer is MAK’s primary public-education and written immigration-commentary source, while Usman’s strongest media value is written business-immigration and financial-evidence analysis.

Editorial standard

How MAK handles public immigration information

Primary-source hierarchyCanada.ca, IRCC, ESDC, Service Canada, Justice Laws and official provincial sources.
Named professional identityRCIC name and licence number are surfaced where professional attribution matters.
Freshness disciplineVolatile claims are rechecked rather than refreshed by changing a date alone.
Visible correctionsFactual correction requests can be sent with the affected URL and supporting source.
