OUR TESTIMONIALS

Clients are always painful and should always be handled with care and utmost importance. I have been demanding and have always expected transparency and fair play during my interactions with Kirti Chauhan(Visas Avenue). To my surprise, she has always stood more that my expectations at each stage. There have been good and the sour times. However, she has always been responsive and has been a face to all my queries, and at times, to my anxiety. She chauffeured me smoothly through the Australian Permanent Residency process. I am glad that she has been my case manager and hope she continues with the good work. Your efforts were remarkable and are much appreciated.

Hello, I have been using Visas Avenue services for the past one year for Canadian PR. Their services are very professional and their document work is impeccable. They will guide you at every step of the PR application process. I would particularly like to thank Sahil Vij and Kapil Arora for their continuous guidance regarding different strategies for PR application. I would also like to thank Yatin Malhotra for helping me prepare all the documents for PR application. I had applied for PR in June and in August I got the message that my application is ready for visa. I had many queries about PR process which Sahil answered patiently every time. I would like to recommend Visas Avenue to anyone interested in visa applications abroad.

My experience with Visas Avenue has been very gratifying. The primary reason for this is my interaction with Ms. Shivangi Arora, without who s support and persistence my accomplishment wouldn t have been possible. She assisted me with a high degree of professionalism and answering every query I had at different stages of the PR process. Her ability to listen to me, understand my concerns and walk me through the solutions was quite incredible. I am very appreciative of her hard work and the manner in which she made my life quite convenient. a big THANK YOU to Shivangi and kudos for her efforts.It would be my strong recommendation to go with Visas Avenue, due to the knowledge and demonstrated capability it brings. And, if you are lucky enough, you will come across and work with some wonderful professionals like Shivangi to make your life look simple and objectives easy to achieve.

If you are looking for a Visa company who is fast, organized and very detailed oriented then you should get in touch with Visas Avenue Pvt. Ltd. Shivangi Arora was my case manager and she has a very good knowledge of the process. She was very prompt and diligent, she made sure that all the documents are provided on time so that the Immigration doesn't ask for anything at a later stage.I am really happy with their work as I have got my Australian PR because of them which is like a dream come true with 50 bands in each module in PTE test.I would definitely recommend them to all my friends and relatives who are looking forward for their visa processing. Keep doing the good job and making lives!!

A group of thoroughly learned people,willing to help you at every step.Courtesy and hospitality always makes you feel welcome even when you have the smallest of questions.I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Ms.Kirti Chauhan for being available at all times and patiently answering my impatient questions and also assisting me with all the help that i constantly required.

Anuj Thakkar

I have been the client of Visas Avenue from past 1.5 years now and recently received the approval for Permanent Residency (PR) Canada. I must say that they are the finest bunch of dedicated professionals and probably the best in their domain. I visited them after receiving positive feedback from few of my friends & known. And I must say that I found their services exactly the same as I heard from my references.I was especially impressed by the way; my case manager (Ms Ruchika Sharma) went an extra mile whenever I asked her for help at every step, may it be related to the documents required, answering queries, LOI, online procedures, payments, etc.My Case officer & other support executives (Ms. Surbhi) were extremely helpful & professional throughout the visa process. At one point of time post many IELTS attempts I was unable to score CLB 9 & thereafter planned to drop the idea of immigrating to Canada but my case manager: Ms Ruchika Sharma was quite positive to convince me & gave vital advise to apply for Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP). In fact, she did it on my behalf and fortunately, I was nominated from the Ontario Province of Canada. It made my road to Canada lot easier as I subsequently, got Invite to apply for Canada PR, which wouldn’t have been possible without the sincere efforts of this hardworking professional team @ Visas Avenue. Thanks for making my wish come true.Best of Luck !!

Pranav Malhotra

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.

Nivedan Reddy

I am really amazed with their services. I got my multiple visitor visa in just 4 days. They charged me very reasonable fees. All my paperwork was done so quickly. My application was filed by Mr. Gaurav Sharma. He is really best. I searched many consultants on internet and found the best reviews for Visas Avenue due to which i filed my case through them. And iam so happy that i have got the return of my hardwork. Many many thanks to Visas Avenue. Really appreciate their Services. Big Cheers to them.
