By Ella BergquistJanuary 9, 2025
Permanent ResidencyCanadian Citizenship
The Canadian government has delayed changes to citizenship laws that would have helped some individuals acquire Canadian citizenship. This delay comes as a result of Parliament being prorogued until March 24, 2025, preventing the necessary amendments to the Citizenship Act before the March 19th deadline. This setback means that individuals who may be eligible for […]

Visa place helped me with my daughter’s sponsorship 3 years ago. Last week I contacted them for some clarification on a different matter. It was about an issue which technically was a problem of CIC’s software glitch and had nothing to do with Visa Place.
Yet Reena Sandu was assigned for my case. she helped me with enthusiasm and showed no hesitation despite me being an ex-client from 3 years ago.
I was very happy that even after 3 years of finishing business, Visa Place were respectful of their clients. Special thanks again to Reena for her enthusiasm and support.
