I had a fantastic experience with Brenda! I was very anxious about my status for an upcoming trip to the U.S and Brenda managed to really ease my nerves. She gave exceptional customer service and she made my day. I truly had an incredible experience. I would recommend Brenda to anyone and everyone!

Meeting with Frank Zhang was very informative. Frank was very pleasant and explained everything I needed to know about the issue. My file was set up in record time. There was confusion at the beginning about the time of the meeting likely due to different time zones. Everything else went smoothly. Very happy with the service so far!

Bansuri assisted me and let me tell you: she was awesome when I called in, she was very nice in providing the information, being professional and friendly. I felt more drawn and secure to trust and move forward in the process of scheduling appointment with VisaPlace. I must admit I had my doubts, but this helped tons. Plus I didn’t have to wait like other places which they had appointments available in +1month. It was the very next day here. So far all is good 👍

I’m have just started to get the counseling for the journey of bringing my loved one to Canada. Mansi is a good and honest consular. She offered the best option to visiting Canada and explained the details. I think if everything goes well on my side, then I would ask for visitor visa’s experts to make an application.
