I want to thank Visas Avenue and in particular my Case Manager Vagisha Malhotra for assisting me in getting Canadian Permanent Resident VISA. Thanks for your efforts!! Good Luck!!

Taneet Singh Ranhotra

"First of all I would like to thank Tabby K who initially guided me in detail through the Australian PR process, even though I had already conveyed that I will not be signing up for any Professional Services and will be filing it on my own. Still she detailed out every step and answered all my queries then and there itself. Secondly and most importantly a big thanks to our case officer Kirti Chauhan whose impeccable professionalism and patience in hearing and responding to our thousand queries helped us achieving the Visa. We used to be extra cautious and pessimistic with every step, but she always kept us motivated and was a great support during the whole process. I will definitely recommend Visas Avenue to all Visa aspirants."

The staff of Visa Avenue is really professional and approachable. I never waited in getting response on my queries.I sincerely say thanks to Ashwani, Amy, Rajesh, Erin, Ashmeet & Jyoti for their kind support in my process and wish all the best to Visa Avenue for upcoming future.

We worked with Shivangi Arora at Visas Avenue for our Canadian PR and had a successful and rewarding experience. Shivangi came across as a consummate professional in the whole process and is knowledgeable about all the procedures including finer details. Her attention to smallest of the details when we were filing for PR and guidance in having all the documentation in the required format helped us get through the process without any hiccups whatsoever. Applying to PR is a long procedure and all our queries on procedures were quickly resolved thanks to her short turn around time. We thank the Visas Avenue team and Shivangi in particular for handling our case with patience for over an year. We recommend working with Visas Avenue for anyone trying to go through the PR application process.

I would highly recommend Visas avenue for immigration services. Although I contacted Bengaluru branch of VA, but the case manager assigned to me was from Delhi. Consistent follow ups, easily reachable, Competent pricing and Up to date knowledge about the immigration rules are few of the many good things about them. Must consider them before you look out for other immigration consultants.

Ramandeep Kaur

Visas Avenues is a highly professional immigration consultancy. Our Case manager is Ruchika Sharma. Because of her constant guidance and expertise in this process, it just took 8 months to receive the PR visa. The entire process was really smooth for us. Our case manager was constantly in touch with us and gave us complete information at every stage. We are very happy with their service and would highly recommend Visas Avenues to everyone.
