We had an excellent experience working with Immigration Pros throughout our outland spousal application and visitor visa application. My husband and I from the beginning of inquiries to the completion of our case, the team demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and genuine dedication. We would like to give special recognition to Luisa Canals, who handled our application from start to finish with exceptional care and expertise. She was always patient, knowledgeable, and clear in her communication ,guiding us through smooth every step of the process and making a complex journey much easier to manage. What impressed me the most was their constant support and follow-up at every step of the process. They were always available to answer my questions, explain the next stages, and ensure all documents were accurate and submitted on time. We are truly grateful and blessed that our two application which was expected to take a month of visitor visa was received early. The spousal expected to take 10 months was approved by IRCC in just 6 months. We truly believe that this success came through Our prayers and trust ,combined with the perseverance ,proactive ,dedication and attention to detail of the Immigration Pros Team. This early approval was a huge relief and meant so much to us. We could not have achieved this outcome without them so much appreciated. After the longest waiting period, we are finally able to be together again as husband and wife. This approval was a wonderful and unexpected blessing, and it means more to us than words can express. We would like to sincerely thank you so much Stewart McDonald, and Edison Andres and the entire Immigration Pros team for their ongoing support and professionalism. Everyone was approachable, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the process. We highly recommend Immigration Pros anyone looking for a legitimate ,trustworthy, and professional Immigration consultancy. Their dedication to their clients truly sets them apart. We sincerely thank you Immigration Pros Team. God bless

I have used Immigration Pros twice in the past 12 years for two different purposes. Each time I paid a flat fee and was never asked for a penny more. Juan was completely professional and polite even when I was stressed and he, Galo and the team were able to get the job done both times when I know that otherwise I would have given up due to the confusing, ambiguous language of IRCC. Both times the IP team knew exactly what to do and how to interpret communications from IRCC. Each communication from me was handled promptly and with professionalism. I would highly recommend them.

If you were like me and you were looking for an immigration agency to help you with your immigration process, please just stop looking and go with Immigration Pros. They are the ABSOLUTE best! They handled my process in the most efficient and professional way. All the way from my LMIA application until the approval of my Work Permit. These team knows exactly what they are doing and they are always up to date with any immigration updates. You are truly in good hands here. I want to give a personal shout-out to Maria Ballen who handled my Work Permit application from beginning to end and was always on top of the game, helping me with any questions and updates I needed. As well as Mayra Mata from the LMIA team who did an exceptional job with my case. Thanks again for all the hard work! You guys are the BEST!

ImmigrationPros have been instrumental in reuniting my husband and I. My husband is South African and I am Canadian. We tried to put together our own permits to have him come to visit me in Canada, only to get denied. The forms and information you need are all so much to fill out and overwhelming. So when my husband decided to immigrate to Canada, we knew we either needed to get help with the applications for the spousal sponsorship permit along with a visitors visa, or he wouldn’t be coming here. Especially since the spousal visa was so complicated to fill out and if we make one mistake, more money is wasted. We dealt directly with John Hillen and Luisa Canals, for three different permits, which were reasonably priced for the amount if work they do, and I have never felt the saying “money well spent” has been more appropriate than with this company. Their thoroughness even made it so our permits got approved way faster than we anticipated. My husband and I wanted to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for the outstanding service ImmigrationPros have provided in assisting us with our visas. Their meticulous attention to detail and thoroughness have been nothing short of exceptional. Without their expertise and dedication, We wouldn't be together today. Your company's invaluable assistance has made our dreams a reality, and for that, we are truly grateful. Please convey our sincerest thanks to your entire team for their hard work and professionalism. The services you provide are truly priceless (almost hahaha), and we cannot thank you enough for the role you've played in bringing us together.

Immigration Pros has taken so well care of me from the beginning! When I was trying to become a Permanent Resident they took care of it all and lead me through the whole process step by step. They were always available to answer all my questions and concerns. I married a Canadian and moved to Canada on a work visa. We lived happily for many years and had 3 children together. So it was time to lay down some roots. Immigration Pros was the right choice they walked me through every little detail. They even stayed with me to walk me through the citizenship process as well! I never thought I would see the day that I would be able to join my wife and kids as a Canadian Citizen!! Thanks to Immigration Pros I am now an official Canadian Citizen! My family has never been happier! The ceremony was an amazing unforgettable experience. Working with this company was the best choice I’ve made! It was well worth the money! They follow you through the whole process, every step. And they were always there to remind me and let me know of anything I needed to do. They give concrete information and advice. They are very professional and a great team of people to work with. No matter who was working on my case they would have all the information necessary and were able to keep up with me. Especial thanks to Luisa Canals!! I’ll never forget you and your hard work!! My family and I are forever grateful!! 🙏🏼😊

My new spouse and I did not know where to start for her to get immigration services for her permanent residency in Alberta, Canada. We used the services of IP Immigration Pros who helped us each step of the way and took care of our application. They took away the stress of the unknown and successfully represented us throughout the whole process. We just received a letter to confirm her PR. If you’re looking for the best immigration services, don’t look elsewhere, they are the best. We highly recommend them. Thanks to the whole team.
