At first, I was so confused about choosing an immigrant consultant to prepare for my Canada PR application. After those initial discussion with Visas Avenue consultants and reading the reviews, I felt that I am at right place with right people and decided to move ahead. Today I am writing this with immense satisfaction after receiving our Canada PR in 3 months. I am extremely happy and would like to thank my case manager Priyanka Kandwal for her support throughout the process. She is pro-active and dedicated in helping out to prepare my documents well before the timeline and in best possible manner. I was very confident that my application is well documented. I am really impressed by her calmness and never tiring attitude of answering my questions. Kudos to Priyanka, Jyoti and the entire team involved in this successful story. I strongly recommend Visas Avenue to those aspirants wanting Canada immigration. A very big thank you to entire Visas Avenue team!

Visas Avenue, what a professional company they are, who value their clients. Mrigya Shah and Arpita Saha were always there to guide us to the right path. All our queries are answered to the satisfaction. They have been supportive throughout the PR process, and kept us motivated to not take any haste decision. Their knowledge and experience is up to the mark. Thank you Visas Avenue team, keep up the good work.

Shikha Grover

Great experience with the team. They were flawless in their process and more importantly they would nag us if we were relaxed in the process. They are aware of the complete process as well keep us updated with the changes in the rules(such as biometric became compulsory in the middle of my process and they informed in in time). Easily reachable. Special thanks to all who worked directly with me, namely Jasmeet, Raghuvir, Shweta and Archana.

Rahul Golwalkar

When my husband and I were looking to move to Canada we researched on a few agencies to help us out with process. Visas Avenue came with a lot of good reviews and I am glad we went with them. Right from the initial meet up with the local team at Chennai and the follow up coordinating with Mrigya and Arpita has been great. They patiently answered all our queries and guided us at crucial junctures. They ensured our profile captured all the necessary points. We are very happy with our decision and glad we decided on visas avenue.
