Testimonials

Dr. Keith V. Erickson – United States

Today I received my permanent resident card. It took four months but I am overjoyed. I can finally get my affairs in legal order. Thank you so much for all your help. You were wonderful and always followed through on my questions and calmed my anxieties. Please feel free to post this on your web site. You made a nearly impossible set of regulations and demands do-able.

A very satisfied client!

 Mathieu and Ruth Maria – Guatemala

Back in December 2015, my wife applied for Permanent Residence, to come join me in Canada. We were living for the last 4 years in Guatemala, and I was originally from Montreal so I knew no one in Vancouver. I researched online and read a lot of reviews, and decided to choose Mr Aujla as our immigration lawyer. From the beginning I felt really comfortable. He asked us questions, prepared our file and sent it in. It was flawless and I was really confident.  10 months later my wife has landed in Canada. I have nothing but good words for Mr Aujla. I would also like to say a huge thank you to his amazing assistant, Debbie, who always answered my questions and followed up with me through the process. I must have called her 100 times in 10 months and she was always friendly and knowledgeable. If I had one advice for anyone who is looking for a lawyer, don’t get fooled by the price. You will have the peace of mind of dealing with one of the best immigration lawyers in Canada and the quick and pain-free process is priceless.

Thanks to both of you. You made another happy family and we are extremely grateful for that!

 

Capt. Amir Meshay and Sherri Carew – Croatia

My husband and I both wish to give a testimonial in regards to the service provided for my husband’s permanent resident application.

We both found the whole application process much more complicated, long and overwhelming that we had imagined it to be but with your assistance and guidance the process went very smoothly. The application was submitted and was accepted surprisingly fast so it was a very happy ending. My husband has now officially “landed” and is starting his time as a permanent resident of Canada.

Thank you very much for all your guidance and assistance. We would recommend your services to anyone who needs immigration assistance.

EC – Switzerland

Five and a half years ago, we walked into your office looking for the condition of permanent Resident.

Today, I took the oath for citizenship. Now I am a proud Canadian.

It has been a long Way (though 5 1/2 years to Canadian citizen is pretty quick) — a lot of paper and a bit of money, but it was every single Cent – worth it.

The train was, from the beginning, on-going in the right direction with your professional support.

Thank you, David, for all your good work. It is an honour to work with you.

Mona Kazemy – Iran

I would like to thank Mr. Aujla and his team for taking care of everything from preparation to submission of  my application for permanent residence through family sponsorship.  Even though my case was somewhat complicated, Mr. Aujla gave me the best consultation and now after less than a year, I am a permanent resident of Canada without going through any stress because of his professional guidance and helpful team.

Mr.Aujla is very knowledgeable, friendly and honest.

I wholeheartedly recommend David Aujla.

Robert Singh – United States

David Aujla’s immigration services were great and hiring him to handle my case was a great decision.

My immigration application was a bit of a harder case because of my background. As a juvenile I had a few run ins with the law which gave me a bit of a bad background making my case a lot more difficult. Even though those offenses were more than 15 years old, I knew I would need help with the process. After I explained my situation to Mr. Aujla, he knew what documents I needed to gather, to show how my life had changed and progressed, and he knew which ways to proceed with my application to prove to immigration that I was worthy of residency. In a case as difficult and complex as mine, there was no way I would have been successful without his services as my attorney. Mr. Aujla and his assistant are a great team. They are very familiar with the system and make the process move along efficiently. I highly recommend his services to anyone who is looking to Canada. Without him I would not have been successful!

Song Wang – China

I am writing this letter to express my appreciation for all your assistance in my immigration case.

You began to work on my situation over two years ago. You worked on my wife’s complicated case, sorted out problems, and gave us a very good direction. You carried out this task in a timely manner and with a great deal of professionalism. You spent your own time preparing my wife for her immigration interview. Even at the last minute, problems arose as my wife and son arrived in Vancouver airport. You sent your associate late at night to solve this issue at no cost to us. I would also like to thank your assistant, who worked hard on our case and kept us informed of all relevant developments. She kept our files in good order.

Lastly, we would like to take this opportunity to express our true gratitude for all your efforts and support on our immigration issues, in helping me become re-united my wife and son. In our time of difficult and extended separation, you, and your office were a very big support to us.

The story of your kindness will be passed to my son, and the tale of your help will become part of our family history.

R. Athwal – Italy

My wife and I are very happy clients of Mr Aujla’s services. We were recommended to consult with Mr. Aujla by close relatives and I have to say that Mr. Aujla has been very professional and patient through the whole PR process. PR can be a complex process of paperwork and legal issues and Mr. Aujla made it all that more simple and easy to follow. He assisted us through all our doubts and questions very professionally and efficiently. I am happy to recommend him to anyone who needs his services. He helped us, reach closer to our dream of living in Canada and I am sure he can help you too!

Charles and Sarah Baidoo – Ghana

David Aujla and his team were absolutely amazing! They were always quick to respond to all of our questions and the answers were straightforward and thorough. Charles is from Ghana and the wait time for permanent residency is 16 months, but thanks to David and his team we received everything in 5 months! We highly recommend him to anyone interested in hiring an immigration lawyer.

Kathryn, Diego and Santiago – Chile

We are so grateful to David and his staff for their personalized and professional treatment throughout our permanent residence application. According to the Canadian Immigration website the wait time at our Embassy was 18 months and we had confirmation of approval after 14 months, thus beating the average by 4 months! Their prompt and attentive responses kept our anxieties at bay through the entire process and they treated us with ample patience when we asked a million questions! We give them two thumbs up!

CJ Snow – United States

I am so overwhelmed that the process actually did work and how you made me be able to relax through the process. I knew that what I wanted was too important for me to handle myself and needed to be handled by a professional. After deciding that we definitely needed and wanted an attorney, we had to find a reputable one who wouldn’t let us down. After asking friends and acquaintances, we found YOU! I am so happy that we found YOU! You did make everything very simple and I didn’t have to worry that I was getting something wrong. Thank you so much for all of your help with my obtaining my permanent resident status. We’ll be working on citizenship next….

David Darby – United Kingdom

A financial advisor of mine in England recommended David Aujla to me to assist in obtaining Canadian residence status. I am a British subject, I live in Bahrain in the Middle East and my wife who I met and married in Bahrain, is a Canadian national. My wife and I met David in his office in Victoria in the summer of 2012. He very simply and clearly explained the procedure, including the pit-falls. He advised me if all went well the procedure should take about 18 months. He offered a truly great service and continued to guide and re-assure me when the bureaucracy became too much for me! My complications were many, previous countries I had lived in had changed names, as had towns and streets. I eventually obtained all the necessary documents which I forwarded to David. He performed a near miracle by sorting through it all and forwarding it through to the necessary Government departments. He was correct to his word, In November 2013, about 16 months after our initial meeting, I was granted Permanent Residence status.

Thank you very much David! I do not think I could have done it without your help and continual guidance. I would gladly recommend anyone for your services.

Frances Allen – United States

I do not hesitate to recommend S. David Aujla and staff to anyone seeking a Canadian immigration lawyer. The service I received from David and staff was always friendly, knowledgeable, professional and prompt. If I had a question that was out of his firm’s realm, David and staff were always willing to go above and beyond and help me locate who I needed to speak with to resolve a question or concern. David’s firm helped me navigate an international move, custody concerns with two small children, and all the relocation paperwork and applications for Canadian residency. Thanks to David and staff, the stress of relocating from one country to another was greatly reduced. Having now received residency, I look forward to working with David and staff on acquiring Canadian citizenship.

Eddy & Margaret – Netherlands Antilles

First and foremost, Eddy and I want to acknowledge the thoroughness and professionalism of the legal services we received when working with David and his team. We engaged an immigration lawyer from the onset, knowing there may be a lengthy process involved. We were right. Eddy and I had to work with the intricacies of dealing with The Netherlands Antilles (Aruba, Curacao), The Netherlands, and the high-standard requirements from Canada. David and his staff were knowledgeable, efficient, and patient throughout the whole process. Last but not least, David imparted reassurance and a confident friendly manner. If we may be so bold to say, David’s professionalism, confidence, sense of honour and humility stems from his genuine respect and appreciation of his role in the Canadian Immigration process and those he services. Thank you, David, for playing a big role in our journey.

Rebecca Johnson & Cohen Morosoff – United States

A big thank you to David for helping me in receiving my permanent residency. David made a very daunting and complex process seem very smooth and easy, ensuring me every step of the way. He was there to answer all of my questions throughout the whole process as well as always keeping me informed with the status of my file. My husband and I really enjoyed working with David and are so grateful for everything.

R.N. and G.L.B. – United States

My spouse and I want to thank you for the excellent work you did in our behalf to obtain a permanent resident visa so that he can join me permanently in Canada. As a same-sex couple, we never imagined that it would all go so incredibly smoothly, quickly, and painlessly, and we attribute that to your professionalism and hard work in our behalf. Many, many thanks for helping us get there!

Shadi and Natalie Alfons – Egypt

Shadi and I would like to extend our thanks to David and his staff for their sustained assistance, tolerance and guidance throughout the permanent residence process. They were readily available to answer our many questions and provide guidance in the face of unforeseen challenges. David maintained his professionalism and consideration towards us as clients even in times of confusion and frustration. We deeply appreciate his commitment to our case and his willingness to help at every stage of the process. He and his staff are knowledgeable and capable partners for anyone seeking permanent residence or citizenship to Canada. Thank you to the office of David Aujla.

Marcus and Fabiola Mackay – Mexico

My wife is finally here! Thanks for all your help. I would recommend David to anyone going through the struggles, or not knowing what to do, when it comes to the complicated process of immigration. He and his assistants make it easier and less confusing. They are very pleasant and muy facil (“very easy” in Spanish) to deal with. He has lots of experience. Thanks again!

David and Michelle Lightle – United States

Thanks again for all your work, advice and professionalism with handling Michelle’s file. It has been five long years, I can remember our first phone conversation when you said it would take so much time and some work. I am glad that I never tried to do all this myself. Please feel free to use my name as a reference, if you ever need one from a client.

Mauricio Wissmann & David Smith – Brazil

Mauricio and I would like to thank you and your staff for making it a very pleasant experience work together in getting my partner here from Brazil. The complicated process of immigrating was made easy with your help. We recommend you to other people with a similar need. It was great knowing that we were getting help in the process, and it all happened in less than a year! Thank you for your excellent and professional service. Your communications were prompt and your correspondence detailed which made our process most efficient. We greatly appreciate what you have done! Cheers!

E. and C. – United States

Working with David and his staff was a joy. The complicated process of immigrating was made easy with their help. We highly recommend David to anyone we encounter with a similar need. The peace of mind of knowing that everything was being done correctly was worth every penny! And it all happened in less than a year!

Rodney L. Ferguson – Bermuda

I would like to thank you for your efficient handling of my application. You made what I thought would be a difficult and complicated process a completely painless experience. The quality of services provided by your office far exceeded my expectations and as such I would be more than happy to provide a reference to any of your clients who are considering using your services in this regard. Again, please accept my sincere appreciation.

Miguel & Aleesha Alvarado – Mexico

Thank you so very much for all of your help and time as we could not have done it without you. We are now applying for a SIN card and are figuring out travel plans to go and visit Miguel’s family in Mexico. He has so much more freedom now which will allow him to truly enjoy his opportunities. Thank you again very much for all of your help. It is very comforting to know that you were there to help us and your being so easy to contact made the whole experience a lot less stressful.

Jessica & Jonathon Mundia – Zambia

Jonathon and I want to thank you for all your help through the whole immigration process. You helped more than you know. Jonathon received his permanent resident status at the end of July and we had our Canadian wedding on August 21st. Thank you again!

Michael Watson – Australia

My family moved to Canada from Australia in 2004. Eventually, I decided to make the move too, but Canada’s age criteria made my application for permanent residency more complicated. Having used David Aujla for their successful permanent residency application, my parents quickly organized David and his team for mine. Being over the age limit makes the task very daunting. The information required is substantial and highly detailed. I could never have done this without David’s involvement. I would have given up at the first step. David knows exactly what is required and is definitely on top of his game. He will make you work hard to over satisfy the requirements of Immigration to ensure you have a successful outcome. I felt comfortable and at ease knowing that David and his team were working for me. What they say will happen, does happen since they know the ins and outs. I cannot recommend David and his team more strongly. Thank you so much for your hard work and for making this process as easy as it can be!

Stephanie Schipper & Jonathan Bowler – United Kingdom

David Aujla is amazing at what he does; he made us feel calm and took the time to answer all of our many questions. When we first came to him, we felt lost and thought there would be no end to the immigration process. David explained clearly to us what was happening, gave us a plan of action, and followed us through the plan. We could not be happier with his services, the staff at his office, and how everything has come together. I highly recommend using David’s services for anyone going through this stressful process.

Mike, Gaby and Michelle Wilson – Mexico

It is with great joy and excitement that we write this letter to say a BIG THANK YOU!

From the first consultation with you (I was in your office and Gaby was in Mexico) to the day that you gave us the news that everything was approved, we have felt so comfortable with you and all the challenges we faced. Your vast knowledge in the immigration area has saved Gaby and me so many frustrations. I could not have imagined trying to complete this process on our own.

Every time we came into the office to see you, your staff was very warm and friendly and I think sometimes people forget about all the others who work with you to make everything go so smoothly!

We cannot express enough how pleased we are with your services. We will not have a problem recommending your services to anyone needing immigration advice. Thank You, gracias.

Kay Kidwell – United States

This note is to express my appreciation for your assistance in helping me to acquire permanent status. You have been diligent in following up on each phase of the completion and submission of the required paperwork and your knowledge of the expectations of the Immigration Service was invaluable in supplying the appropriate information. To anyone seeking immigration to Canada, I unhesitatingly recommend you and your very competent staff to them. Thank you for your competence and professional courtesy.

Terry and Barbara Doucet – United States

It is hard for me to put into words what David and his staff have done for me. I know my process may probably have been one of the most difficult ones he has done. We had many ups and downs, but I have to say that without David and his staff, I probably would not be where I am today. I am now a legally-landed immigrant!!!

For anyone reading this, let me tell you, if you are thinking of going it alone without the help of an immigration lawyer– STOP!!! Without David, my husband and I would have had great difficulty in getting through all the legal paperwork. And David never once pressured us for money. I don’t think that is his goal in helping people immigrate to Canada. Yes, you have to pay, and, yes, it was worth every penny!!!

David and his staff were a Godsend to us and we would gladly tell anyone immigrating to Canada to go to him.

Touria and Jarrett Teague – Morocco (from United Arab Emirates)

I met my wife in Dubai where she had an extended work visa. Two months before our marriage, I had attended David Aujla’s office for an initial consultation where he clearly explained the process, the requirements, costs and the typical timeline in obtaining permanent residency. True to the plan, everything unfolded as expected. Data was gathered, accurately prepared and presented to the Embassy. All correspondence was clear, and David’s office responded right-away in answering all questions and preparing presentations for our approval. Additionally, David ensured complete follow-through. I totally recommend David Aujla. Thank you!

Elyane and Wayne Arnold – Mexico

I want to thank you and your staff for all your help during the process of becoming a Canadian resident. All I can say is that you did a great job and accomplished all that you had promised me. You are a man of your word. In the beginning, you had said that it would take at least nine months to hear from the Canadian Embassy, and to my surprise it was sooner.

Since our first meeting I felt confident and every time I phoned you for advice, your staff was always friendly, helpful and we got your responses immediately. For all your patience, thanks.

Wayne and I have already told some friends who need help with their immigration status to contact you because they will get the best immigration lawyer in Canada! It sure was a pleasure for me and Wayne to deal with you and we will always be grateful.

Barbara and T.J. Schouten – Netherlands

We wanted to send a note of thanks to you and your staff for all your assistance with obtaining permanent residence status for T.J. The guidance and support that your office gave us and your high level of professionalism exceeded our expectations. We will recommend your law office without reservation to anyone in need of immigration services. T.J. is now a permanent resident of Canada and we could not be more satisfied with that result. Thanks again.

Linda and Lee Rowland – United Kingdom

Lee and I would like to thank you so much for all your hard work in helping us to obtain our permanent residence. We know that it could not have happened without you. What was probably the most stressful situation to deal with was made so much easier with all your time, patience and positive attitude. We will definitely recommend you to anyone looking for an immigration lawyer. Thank you!

Eric Metson – United States

My wife, Kristin, and I would like to extend to you our heartfelt thanks for helping us obtain a Canadian immigrant visa for Kristin in far less time than we would have thought possible.

We feel that the success of this venture was due to the number of important ways that you approached the application process… in explanation, in providing comprehensive, clear and detailed instructions and in performing a very thorough review of all materials to eliminate errors and inconsistencies. Throughout the process, you kept us fully informed and always responded promptly and clearly to all of our questions.

Kristin’s visa arrived in just 8 months and she did not require an interview with Canadian immigration officials. It is clear that the secret to navigating successfully the complex immigration process is experienced counsel. We will highly recommend you to any and all who may require Canadian immigration services in the future.

Again many thanks for your help in acquiring Kristin’s visa and allowing us to make an early move back to Canada.

Josiane Bonneau – France

Sandy and I would like to thank you very much for your help, experience and guidance in the process of achieving my permanent residency status. It simplified things greatly to have you lead us through the process and we would recommend you without any hesitation to anyone in search of a competent immigration lawyer. Much appreciated!

Nilesh Prasad – Fiji

My family and I are truly grateful to David and his wonderful staff for the great work that they do. I know that without their help I would have never been able to get my Permanent Residency as quickly as I did. Their quick feedback and response to our questions and concerns were priceless as they did alleviate our fears. Our biggest concerns were the paperwork and with the help of David and his staff we were able to get it finished and the rest was taken care of in a very timely manner. I would recommend Mr. David Aujla to anyone seeking help with respect to Canadian Immigration or citizenship-related issues.

Melem and Jae Kwon – Korea

The stress of sponsoring my husband to Canada and getting his immigration papers in order was greatly reduced by David Aujla and his staff. Our biggest concern was to get all the paperwork filed correctly and efficiently within our limited time frame. Mr. Aujla’s expertise and professionalism put us at ease and gave us the confidence that we would be able to receive my husband’s visa without any difficulties.

J and K – United States

We want to recommend David Aujla to all same-sex couples who are considering making the move to Canada – no matter if it is family or skilled worker immigration. As a same-sex couple, we always felt comfortable working with David and his staff. He deftly guided us through a process that can be difficult and complicated at times. David and his staff were always professional and attentive and always responded quickly to ANY question we threw at them. We are so happy and grateful that we made a successful move to Canada and we could not have done it without him and his team.

Don Paul and Mitsuru Otomo – United States

We just wanted to thank you so much for your assistance in our immigration to Canada. We have experienced the ease of working with you because of your organization, professionalism and efficiency in implementing the process. Beyond that, your personal support through the process made it so much easier. You stepped us through everything very clearly and put our minds at ease. Thank you so much for everything!

V. and A. – Mexico

We are so grateful to David and his team for all of their hard work and support. After three and a half years of waiting and being put through chaos, we finally received the good news of my husband’s permanent resident status. We could not imagine going through this process without an immigration lawyer — there were so many curveballs thrown our way and David’s team answered every one of our questions (anytime) and helped to ease the stress by dealing with those issues head on. We highly recommend David to anyone going through this process. It is just not worth the stress on your own. They are very professional, supportive and they get the results. Thank you for everything!

Graham and Grace – People’s Republic of China

I would just like to say how pleased we were with your advice, your help, and your presentation of our application to Immigration Canada. You were always very accurate in predicting the timing of each stage and in your estimation of the costs. You were easily accessible for questions whether in person and via e-mails and your remarks were positive and encouraging. You bring the word ‘gentleman’ very much to our mind. Thank you once again, David. We do not hesitate to recommend you!

J. & C. – United Kingdom

We would like to express our thanks and appreciation to David for the most professional manner in which he dealt with our application for permanent residence. We were very impressed at the speed and efficient manner he and his staff dealt with our application. We were not able to complete our arrival in Canada due to an accident which prohibited flying and despite our time scale being compromised David was able to reset the wheels in motion and now, seven months later, we have taken up residence in Canada. Thank you, David, for your patience and we will put your name forward at every opportunity as you are the only Immigration lawyer to use.

Phil Beymer – United States

To help us apply for immigration to Canada from the United States, my wife and I sought out an immigration attorney. We called David and his receptionist booked a telephone conference immediately. He had a way of projecting warmth and confidence from the very beginning. David and his office were thorough, professional, available and reassuring from beginning to end. We feel justified in having sought professional help and were very fortunate in picking David.

Rosalie and Robert – Australia

We are ecstatic about getting Bob’s residency and can finally rejoice!! We would like to both take this opportunity to thank you for your services in the immigration process and for your help on the issues as they arose. You are so easy to understand and so complete with everything you do and did for us, David. You were always prompt in your replies to help clear up my many questions. Thank you so very much!

Jeff and Vivienne Scott – United Kingdom

Our journey through the jungle of immigration regulations and paperwork requirements was made as smooth and painless as could be possible, due to the calm, tireless advice and professional knowledge granted to us by David Aujla and his staff. Our landed status came through several months of our anticipated date. With our grateful thanks and relief. To anyone looking for an immigration lawyer — don’t go anywhere else!

Bianca Filser and Susan Forrest – Germany

We were thrilled and relieved at the same time when we got word from David that the papers of ‘Confirmation of Permanent Residence’ were ready to be picked up. We would like to say THANK YOU to David Aujla and his staff for all their help from beginning to end. Having someone to walk you through this (sometimes difficult) process step by step, was very helpful and we are so glad to not have done it on our own! We were always informed about the status of our application. It was very much appreciated to be kept up to date and knowing what was happening. It was a pleasure working with David and his staff and I have already recommended him to prospective future Canadians. Thank you, David. You made it so easy for us !!”

Vince Prokop – Mexico

Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for the professional and reliable manner in which you and your support staff handled my wife’s permanent residence application. Initially, the process seemed overwhelming and intimidating. However, your office was highly recommended by a colleague and we were not disappointed. Your confidence and professionalism eased our concerns and propelled us easily and quickly through the immigration process. We especially appreciate that you were always available in person or by phone which speaks volumes in regards to the service your future clients may expect. I would also like to congratulate your support staff for professional and courteous consideration. Thank you for a job well done! I am happy to recommend your office to any future Canadians with immigration concerns.

Bernd Wilde – Germany

David agreed to take on my challenging immigration case after receiving 200 pages of extremely complicated files from a previous lawyer in an application that was in jeopardy.

With David’s extremely up-to-date knowledge and understanding of the immigration process and its ever changing laws, he was able to sort through the mess, re-file my application and guide me through the proper process.

The office of [David Aujla] treated my wife and me with the greatest of personal care, and David’s ability to communicate the legal language in a way even a German carpenter could understand made this difficult journey a learning experience.

I would not hesitate to recommend [David Aujla], a law firm that is not only honest and professional, but one that has treated us with both respect and sensitivity during an extremely confusing and stressful time. Our dreams would have remained dreams if it were not for the hard work and heart that went into my file, and for this my wife and I will be forever grateful.

From one very happy settled Canadian resident I say …… danke schön.

W.J. Helliesen and Frances A. Lord – United States

We are taking this opportunity to say again how tremendous your services have been. The availability of time from you and your staff to our numerous officer and phone calls made a sometimes stressful time for us more tolerable. Prior to hearing of David Aujla we had contemplated going through the Application for Permanent Residence procedure on our own. We soon realized that excellent expertise was required — you certainly proved this was a fact.

Ginny and Roy Wilmin-Browne – United Kingdom

David, thank you so much for all your hard work and encouragement throughout the ordeal! When we arrive and have settled ourselves, we plan to have a champagne celebration — and you will be top of the list of invitees!!!

So many thanks again for everything!
