OUR
TRUE
STORY
IMMGroup’s founder, Mr. Tran Van Tinh, was born and grew up in the riverside area of Cai Von, Binh Minh district, Vinh Long province. His parents were originally poor farmers without schooling and they had to experience the chaotic war time. They earned a living by working as hired low-skilled labour, then farming and finally making tofu. In 1989, his father had an accident leaving him a paraplegic since then. Therefore, at the age of 9, Mr. Tinh began earning money to help his family in different ways such as selling lottery tickets, making tofu, raising pigs etc. His childhood were just days of working hard from early dawn till late at night.
Working hard but still trying to study, he and his two brothers could finish high school. In 2000, he came to Saigon for university studies. However, he spent a lot of time doing part-time jobs. First, he delivered newspapers. Later, he worked as a waiter and then a tutor. Aged 19, he took up a full-time job as an office worker. Besides, he taught himself computer science as well as programming. He started up a company twice in the industry of information technology but failed.
In 2004, Mr. Tinh had a chance to provide services of setting up a representative office in Vietnam to Mr. William (Bill) Gadd, who is from Canada. Everything went smoothly and they became friends. At the time, Canada had presented the Quebec Immigrant Investor program. Finding immigration consulting services had not been supplied in Vietnam yet, Mr. Tinh and Mr. Gadd decided to cooperate in setting up a company which specialized in Canada immigration consulting services.
In 2005, Mr. Tinh separated to start his own company, Immigration Co., Ltd. The company has gradually developed into IMM Group today with many subsidiaries. The brand name of IMM, the acronym of the first company’s name, is kept as a memento of starting-up of IMM Group.

INSIDE OUT - TỪ TÂM LAN HỎA
BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY
IMM Group’s business philosophies throughout our 10 years of operation can be summarized into the slogan “Inside Out”. This message fully represents all and every aspect of the group, from history, core values, culture, mission, internal and external relationships. The reciprocity between internal and external factors of IMM Group helps to shape and influence the development of the Group.
Inspired from our founder’s past story, from being a street lottery ticket seller, a newspaper deliverer, a waiter, to finally establish a business in a small bedsit with almost no cash investment in 2005 (the ‘Inside’ aspect), IMM Group has made the most of its internal capacities to externally develop without any boundary or limitation (the ‘Out’ aspect).
In terms of the reciprocity between the “Inside Out” philosophy and the values, IMM Group always emphasizes on the real, inside value of each individual of the group, and applies genuine moral value (Inside) in business activities, customer services and in creating partnership with external partners (Out).
In the aspect of mission, IMM Group focuses on balancing between internal goals as to create a corporation in which all employees are happy (Inside); to establish a charitable foundation to help the unfortunate (Inside) and external goals as to provide service satisfaction (Out); to contribute towards enhancing the self-respect and the advancement of Vietnamese people in the global community (Out).
For culture, people and lifestyle, IMM Group focuses on personal development and humanity, from the smallest aspects such as the behaviors and habits (Inside) that contribute towards the success and development of the Group as a whole (Out).
