Had a nice experience with the CanOz team. Applied for PR with them. My case was different as I lost my passport while the application was in process. Had to explain to IRCC and request for PNP point transfer and all. The team did the necessary things to make sure my application would not get rejected. Harsimrat ma’m really understood my situation and were supportive throughout the process. Thank you team!

Absolutely seamless journey to get my visa with 100% end to end assistance from a well informed team! Thank you CanOz! At the onset we were clearly explained every miletone of the journey and expectations from both sides were clearly spealt. We were well informed about the paper work that would be needed and other documentation formalities that were supposed to get fulfilled. There were absolutely no surprises and we steadily moved from one step to the next. Infact most of our questions and apprehensions were fairly preempted and there was no scope of any ambiguity! Delightful and totally relaxed was our experience! Thank you again!

I highly recommend CanOz Visa Services because they are really helpful and they are doing excellent job. I got my PR this year and the entire process was completed in just 6-7 months. The process was so smooth just because of them, especially Harsimrat who provided invaluable support. Her guidance is really appreciated. I am really happy and fully satisfied with their services. If anyone is planning to immigrate to Canada or Australia, I strongly suggest reaching out to them from the very beginning. They truly provide world-class services. Thank you Harsimrat for all the efforts. I am really grateful. 🙂

Could not have asked for a better experience working with CanOz! Bakhash was there to answer questions every step of the way and made the whole process of getting our Australian PR so seamless. We couldn’t recommend him or this company more. If you are thinking of immigrating to Australia, this is absolutely the company you need to work with! Thank you Bakhash, for making our dreams come true!

My Australian PR application took about 5 years to reach an outcome. It was a bit of a complicated case and I might have lost hope had Baksh not been my migration agent. By the time I got introduced to Baksh I had already tried a couple of popular agents and got frustrated by the lack of transparency they demonstrated. Baksh was the polar opposite to those money grabbers. He was always clear with his suggestions, had excellent knowledge of the system and his advice helped navigate through complexities with so much ease. The payments were always discussed and was clarified too. An absolute gem of a professional. By the time I received 2 invites in 2022, I trusted Baksh’s recommendation and opted to go for 189 albeit being more complicated than a 491. I am so glad I did. I cannot recommend Baksh and Canoz enough.
