David Coombes B.A., M.Sc.
President and founder of Success Immigration Services Ltd. (SIS)
BC Commissioner for Taking Affidavits and Oaths
David emigrated to Canada from Great Britain as a child and became a Canadian citizen in 1961. He obtained his undergraduate degree in Anthropology and Archaeology, and his Masters degree in Biogeochemistry (the interconnection between geology, chemistry, and living things). David was a senior employee of the government of British Columbia for over 30 years.
Since 1979, David has traveled extensively, especially in the Philippines. He is an expert in the geography and indigenous cultures of the country. While traveling in Banaue Ifugao, he met Zenaida Kenept, an Ilocano-Bontoc, from Mountain Province who was also visiting the area. They became engaged, and married in 1989. They now reside in Victoria, B.C., Canada.
Sometime in the 1990s, he and his wife attempted to sponsor his wife’s family in the Philippines and failed. This sparked his curiosity about immigration laws, and along with his passion to help other people, he founded Success Immigration Services Ltd in 1998.
