Testimonials

I feel very happy about this program, this program is a boon to immigrants as it not only guides them through their next steps into a new country but also it gives good confidence in moving ahead.

Planning for Canada helped us in many ways, They helped us in building our resume, cover letters, Job hunting, preparing for interviews, rental search, travel planning and especially they made us come with a mind free of worries. I would like to thank especially our advisor who was always there whenever we needed any help. Because of this program, we could easily settle down here as we were well prepared.

I found the program very beneficial for the new immigrants. It gives you the right resources and positive approach to face the challenges with immigration.
