WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

LAURENCE ARPIN



Successfully obtained my US L1 Visa thanks to Visaplace. We had some problems
with document retrieval at first but they’d been there before and guided us
through. Highly recommended.

BARB PETRUZZI



Bansuri was wonderful! She was so helpful and made me feel more comfortable
about the process. Give her a raise! She deserves it and I thank her for the
help.

BLAKE NAZE



Bansuri helped us book our consultation at Visaplace. She was very professional
and super friendly and had a good array of knowledge to guide us to the right
legal attorney. Highly recommend giving Visaplace a call. Thanks Bansuri!

ZACHARY MCGILLIVRAY



Anis was super helpful with a great attitude, he took extra care to make sure we
had all the correct information and even called me back to ensure everything was
in order. I can confirm, Anis is a true professional with his work.

HINA PATEL



A while ago, I consulted with Mansi Sanghvi regarding my Ontario Immigrant
Nominee Program (OINP) application. She assisted in clarifying my doubts and
instilled confidence in me. I subsequently received my nomination. I extend my
gratitude to Mansi for her invaluable assistance. I wholeheartedly recommend
her, as She possesses considerable experience and demonstrates generosity. Thank
you Mansi!

SUBHRO MITRA



Absolutely amazing service. I would specifically like to mention Ponle
Ojemakinde – she, as the Barrister / Team Leader from Visaplace, has been our
guardian Angel through the entire process and exemplified what “customer
delight” truly means! She was amazing, and I do hope that she gets the
recognition in VisaPlace that she truly deserves.

MARK R. POST



My new life is possible because of working with Visaplace. they took my case and
knew exactly how to achieve the goals I’d set for myself and my family. Kind and
courteous and got the job done.

JAMES C. STARKES



I got my US L1 Visa through them, pretty smooth process. We weren’t sure they’d
take our case as we had some issues with retrieving some documents, but they
worked with us on getting everything we needed. Recommend.

MICHAEL H. PERRY



I express deep appreciation to VisaPlace for their unwavering commitment in
securing my visa successfully. Their unmatched professionalism has left me
thoroughly satisfied with the results.

SEVERINA TEDFORD



Allow me to express that our case proved to be more complex than initially
anticipated. However, Aisha and Reena provided unwavering support throughout the
entire process. At each juncture, they offered clear guidance on necessary
actions, guiding us through the intricacies we couldn’t navigate independently.
While the procedure proved more intricate than expected, our legal team
maintained close communication, ensuring we were well-informed and adequately
prepared. Confronted with challenges, they approached them with a positive
attitude, instilling confidence through their professionalism and competence. I
wholeheartedly recommend their services. While moments of stress were
inevitable, their assurance and ability to convey that confidence were
instrumental. Reflecting on the experience, I am certain we would not have
succeeded without their assistance, or at the very least, the journey would have
been significantly prolonged.

Very impressed. We had an application that was not straightforward, but our
legal team put us at ease at every step of the way. I can’t imagine what the
process would have been like without their help. Highly competent and reliable.
If you’re trying to avoid a lot of headaches and grief, this is the firm you
want in your corner.

is very exceptional in achieving success. Frank is the one who initially who

expertise and dedication. They navigated the complexities of immigration law
with ease, providing guidance and support. I wholeheartedly recommend VisaPlace

COMMON IMMIGRATION QUESTIONS


IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LAWYER AND ATTORNEY?

No. Generally speaking an attorney is a person who is a member of the legal
profession while a lawyer is someone who is trained in the field of law and
provides advice.


ARE YOU OPEN DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC/LOCKDOWN?

Yes! VisaPlace is 100% open during the COVID-19 pandemic. US and Canadian
immigration are still accepting applications and inviting foreigners to apply so
this is the best time to apply! All of our immigration consultations are done in
a socially distant manner.


DO I NEED TO HIRE AN IMMIGRATION LAWYER?

Hiring an experienced lawyer or a law firm can help minimize mistakes and
improve chance of successfully getting a visa. In many immigration situations
you do not want to risk representing yourself or applying without the advice of
an experienced immigration professional. Failing to work with an immigration
lawyer can lead to wasted money, wasted time, and frustration.


HOW MUCH DOES AN IMMIGRATION ATTORNEY COST?

The cost of hiring an immigration attorney varies depending on the services you
are requesting. Typically you will pay for the processing fees which are
assigned by the government and then you pay for the service of the lawyer or
attorney which they will give you during the consultation. During your initial
consultation with the immigration consultant be sure to ask for an estimate so
that you will know how much you are required to pay.


SHOULD I ONLY WORK WITH AN IMMIGRATION LAWYER NEAR ME?

Although most of our immigration lawyers are based in our office in midtown
Toronto, we can help you immigrate to Canada or the US from anywhere in the
world. Whether you’re in the GTA or overseas, our immigration consultants can
communicate by phone or video conferencing. This allows us to help people from
the comfort of their home or office. We can accommodate any client with their
preferred method of communication.


WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN IMMIGRATION LAWYER OR AN IMMIGRATION
CONSULTANT?

An immigration lawyer acts as an advisor and counselor for foreign citizens and
immigrants. Green card lawyers provide aid when dealing with visa applications,
permanent residency, citizenship, and naturalization. Immigration lawyers
represent their clients and help mediate communication between them and
immigration authorities. They also represent their clients in an immigration
hearing.

An immigration consultant is an individual who provides assistance to
immigrants. This assistance can be with filing applications, filing a petition,
gathering the required documentation for their application, or helping to find a
translator. Canadian consultants are licensed by the IRCC, a certification all
of our consultants have.


HOW DO I START MY IMMIGRATION PROCESS?

If you would like to start your process but you are not ready to hire an
immigration lawyer then you can fill out our free online immigration
questionnaire. Here you can fill in our immigration goals and let us know a bit
more about you. We will be able to tell if you are eligible for immigration then
reach out to you to book a consultation.


HOW DO I GET IMMIGRATION ADVICE?

Your first step is to book a consultation with an immigration professional to
start mapping out the steps to complete your immigration journey. We will help
you understand you eligibility and the best path to complete your immigration
goals. Book a consultation now!


IS THERE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A US AND A CANADIAN IMMIGRATION LAWYER?

Yes, the United States and Canada are two completely different countries, who
both have different rules and regulations involving immigration. Our immigration
lawyers have the experience and knowledge to lead you in the right direction
whether you are interested in US or Canadian immigration.

H-1B VISA LOTTERY NOW OPEN: USCIS ANNOUNCES FINAL CHANGES TO H-1B VISA LOTTERY

By CaseyMarch 19, 2024
Work in the USH-1B Visa
March 6, 2024 Update: H-1B lottery now open! The initial registration period for
the FY 2025 H-1B cap opened at 12PM Eastern Time on March 6, 2024, and will run
through 12 PM Eastern Time on March 22, 2024. Learn how to apply here. The U.S.
Citizenship and Immigration Services will increase fees for employer petitions
and sponsorship of permanent residence in a final rule. The agency justifies the
fee hikes due to significant cost increases since the last adjustment in
December 2016. Congress doesn't provide annual funding for benefits processing,
but occasional supplemental funding is granted to USCIS. The new fees become
effective on April 1, 2024. The final rule maintains two contentious fees,
potentially leading to legal challenges. Additionally, USCIS has introduced a
final rule altering the H-1B visa registration selection process.
