Visaplace, Nadia and her team did excellent job. They are super eager to help you out even if this firm is pretty busy place, I always get a response in one business day. Nadia has a sweet heart that she’s taking a big responsibility out of your case. My situation was complicated and hard. I was freaked out from dealing with CBSA and we had a several phone calls. She explained to me how to deal with each steps and truly understood my situation. Her expertise is amazing. I wish I was in Toronto and visit them to say Thank you in person. They are fantastic. Thank you so much!

I am very impressed with the quality of service, transparency and technology provided by VisaPlace. I had a chance to work with many lawyers and law firms and very few come close.

VisaPlace helped a few Ukrainian colleagues that I referred, and they were very satisfied with the experience

Yasmeen Ali was the direct contact i was working with. She is absolutely the best agent i met. Very professional and very friendly at the same time. She was so helpful and patient, especially during Covid times.She answered all my questions and emails to renew my husbands PR. I would definately recommend this firm especially if you live abroad. Ask for Yasmeen Ali, the friendliest and most efficient agent! Thank you again Yasmeen….all the others working with her seem also very professional and efficient…they also followed up during her absence.

We were switched legal teams 3 times within our time there.( This was not our doing) We weren’t impressed at all with the service almost all the way through our experience. Our review would have been 1 star. The response time was awful. To get in contact with our attorney was so difficult. And not thorough. Almost at the end, when we were almost ready to file, we got switched again, but this time, we are thankful. The attorney we got then was Andrew Diamond. He is fantastic and the reason for the 5 star rating. This is his rating. He was phenomenal. Absolutely amazing and prompt with response time and very knowledgeable, thorough and so helpful. We couldn’t have asked for better. Thank you Andrew for all you did for us!
