Husain and his team guided us through both the PR renewal and citizenship. The COVID pandemic didnt make things easy given that we had recently moved south of the border. He was extremely patient and responded to all our multiple queries. While making allowances for our situation. Completed our oath ceremony a week ago and full steam ahead to getting our passport. Been a long journey

I take the opportunity to write these lines for Hussein Zarif of Canada by Choice, he and his team has been extremely responsible, professional and supportive theough out our journey of getting to Canada. It was hard for us to trust any consultant after we had been scammed by quite a few renown persons in town. This young gentle man has restored our trust back in place. Hussein carries a large bank of knowledge along with experience in the field of immigration even at this young age. He helped my family stay strong during the times when we were at the verge of quitting. Now that we are all done

I started the immigration process without knowing much about it, nonetheless they walk me through every steps. Available to answer all my questions and very resourceful. It goes without saying that they displayed a subpart level of professionnalisme and efficiency. Started in 2019 , I was approved for the permanent residency in late 2021. Very impressive work given that the delay in my case was only due to the Pandemic. Beyond the reasonable rate, they will deliver you result and satisfaction in timely manner. I very strongly recommend their services to anyone seeking to immigrate to Canada.

Words cannot properly express how grateful my partner and I are for everything CBC has done for us. From our initial consultation with Hussein to the letter confirming my permanent residency, everyone in the office has been patient, competent, and helpful beyond measure. They made the process smooth and far less stressful than we could have imagined. I'll be back when I need help with my citizenship down the road!!
