I highly recommend Ronalee Carey law to anyone requiring guidance when applying for a visa for or immigration to Canada. After looking at the Canadian Government immigration website I realized that I could not make the application without professional help. I selected Ronalee Carey Law and I am so glad that I did. Ronalee took me through every step and encouraged me to submit documents that were not requested but which had a positive bearing on the complete application. She and her staff are very knowledgeable, professional and caring. They completely took the stress out of the entire process

As a UK national, I contacted Ronalee Cary Law for advice regarding how to proceed in applying for permanent residency in Canada. I had a one on one interview with a member of Ronalees team to quickly determine whether I could meet the credentials for the application. This was an important step for me as I had little idea of the enormity of the process. At the interview I was deemed suitable and going forward, was guided by the same dedicated member of Ronalees team through every step of the application process which is complicated and lengthy. At every hurdle I was given specific help and

Ronalee and Flavia are a dream team! I was feeling lost in the process of applying for permanent residency and went to Ronalee Carey Law based on the amazing reviews, and I wasn't disappointed. I qualified and applied for the new temporary residency to permanent residency pathway, which gave Ronalee only a few weeks to collect the necessary information and documents before the application opened.
This was no easy task, but Ronalee and Flavia did an amazing job working together and making sure I was ready to go as soon as the pathway opened. They were professional, knowledgeable, responsive and

Ronalee helped me complete my permanent residence application through the new temporary path for international graduates. I can't imagine what I would've done without her! Due to the nature of the pathway, the process had to be sped up *significantly*, and still, everything was perfect. Ronalee and her team are very professional, knowledgable and responsive. Throughout the process and during the application, they made sure I was having to trouble and answered all of my questions within seconds. I am very confident in my submission thanks to them. Shout out to Flvia for her incredible record
