The why behind Shirah

A note from our founder & CEO

Hello there, I'm Bukky, the visionary behind Shirah—a company dedicated to transforming the way people migrate and navigate the world, one country at a time, through the power of technology. What you recognise today as Shirah originated as a passion project in 2017, born out of my commitment to assisting family and friends with their migration journeys. After providing support for free for several years, I recognised the need to enhance my skills to address more complex cases. This realisation led me to collaborate with professionals in the field, laying the foundation for what would become Shirah.

Since those humble beginnings, I've evolved into a Licensed Immigration Consultant, aiding over 2,500 individuals in calling Canada their home. Now, as a Tech Founder in the immigration space, my mission is to leverage the skills and experiences acquired over the years to craft inclusive, seamless, and cost-effective products and solutions for both prospective immigrants and consultants alike. Join me in this endeavour as we continue to build upon this legacy, and I sincerely hope that you become the next success story on this remarkable journey.
