Let me start by saying that working with Visas Avenue has been a good experience. I recently received my Visa for Canada and I appreciate all the support that the staff of Visas Avenue extended to me. Their protocols for handling applications are very thorough and efficient. They have working alternatives for different issues that might arise during the Visa processing. I worked with 2 case managers and one of them was Shivangi Arora. I must say that both of them have been excellent and empathetic. They are professional, helpful and dedicated. Special thanks to Shivangi who has been exceptional at her work.The overall experience has been very good. I would recommend Visas Avenue to people who want to immigrate to the destination of their choice. Working with Visas Avenue has been a delight. I wish them and the people who use their services all the best.

Let me start by saying that these guys are awesome - professionals, agile and they know their stuff. It took me just 3 months to get my Australia PR from the time they started working on it ( could have even been lesser if I was a bit prompt in document submissions). Kirti Chauhan who has been my case manager was extremely knowledgeable and diligent in the process which ensured that no documents are referred back by Immigration. Being process centric and knowledgeable, she ensured that stuff happened on time and right the first time.I surely recommended Visa Avenues for all the work that they do.

The other name of professionalism and efficiency is Visas Avenue. It played a major role in turning my Canada PR dream into a reality. I would particularly like to mention Ankita and my case manager Shivangi for assisting me through the process and helping me keep my nerves in check. Despite never meeting them in person, as I am based in Kolkata, I never felt that distance matters. The entire process and consultations were done via email and phone and there was no scope of any complaint at all. A team of thorough professionals, it knows its job very well. I wish all the best to Visas Avenues and hope it would assist many other dreamers like me in achieving their goals.
