On May 14, 2021, David Cohen passed away at his home in Montreal while surrounded by his adoring family.

He had defeated cancer several times before but lost this battle at the age of 74. Countless friends, current and former colleagues, even competitors paid their respects to David’s family — because no matter who you are in this space, you cannot deny that David Cohen is a legend.

Talk to anyone, anywhere in the world who wants to immigrate to Canada. Chances are they are a little closer to their Canadian dream thanks to David.

He was an entrepreneur and immigration lawyer — he would be the first to say he was not a tech guy, but he understood the role technology plays in people’s lives.

Initially, David launched CanadaVisa.com to attract new clients to his law firm, Campbell Cohen. Eventually he would offer free online tools that newcomers might need, such as Loon Lounge, which was labelled by the Toronto Star in 2009 as a “Facebook for prospective immigrants”. Today, CanadaVisa has evolved into something greater than a lead generator. It is its own digital ecosphere, where anyone can learn about Canadian immigration and interact with a community of like-minded individuals. It has become more influential than David could have ever imagined.

May his sould rest in peace... He played his part.

May his soul rest in peace. I once contacted this gentleman for advice on Canada immigration and he was helpful, though I couldn't follow through
