APPLYING FOR PERMANENT RESIDENT STATUS - SKILLED WORKER...
When my friend Claire first recommended Russell and ACIC to assist with my application for Residency, I was extremely grateful. At the time I was living in Australia, trying to sell an apartment and raise the funds to return to Canada, the place where my heart resides. I had planned to apply for Permanent Resident status as a Skilled Worker and was going to do it myself. My apartment wasn’t selling though, and with each month that passed, my spirits dampened a little more, and my dream of a new life seemed so far away.
From the first contact with Russell, I immediately felt hope. Hope not only that I would have enough points to apply for residency and succeed - something I had worried about - but also hope for a bright and successful future in anything I chose to do. Russell has a way of understanding the very heart and soul of a person and cares deeply about ensuring that everyone find their own fount of potential within them. This is apparent in the respectful, humorous, and heart-warming way in which he interacted with me and as a result I am well on the way to realising my dreams.
My life was turned around in so many positive, healthy, amazing ways through my interactions with Russell, that I will treasure this developing friendship for a lifetime. In fact, since my application was submitted I have kept in contact with both Russell and Del to keep them updated on my life and journey as I left Australia behind and set out on a new adventure; the end result of course will be settlement in Canada.
I cant recommend Russell and the ACIC team enough as they provided advice and guidance during the initial stages of the residency application. Most importantly they kept me positive about the process, and gently kept me on track with emails and words of encouragement during the sometimes daunting process of gathering the information required . I would recommend that anyone wishing to apply for Canadian citizenship should first consult with Russell. Dont go it alone!
Years before when I first spent time in Canada I had contacted another agency in Toronto, they were very clinical in their interaction with me and it left me feeling as if I was wasting my time even considering residency. I had also considered submitting the application myself, but each time I went to the CIC website it seemed I found yet another link and another possible hole in my application. Yet I found that with ACIC the website provided a wealth of information and the testimonials spoke for themselves. The free pre-testing on the site helped me get my mind around the reality of realising the dream of becoming a Canadian citizen. Plus, there was never any pressure or obligation.
One amazing thing is that I was never treated as a number or a meal ticket, I was always treated respectfully as a person who has chosen to relocate for life. Something that Russell himself has done and so understands the commitment and occasional self-doubt that this decision creates. Immigration is their business, and the business of immigration is all about people. Each interaction I have had with Russ and Del was filled with heart. I always felt like their most important client, and I know from other testimonials that they treat everyone this way.
Within three weeks of my application being submitted through ACIC to CIC I had a file number!!! Meaning all of our hard work had paid off and I was deemed eligible to apply for residency. My application was now being considered and was in process.
I was very lucky to have a personal recommendation from someone I knew and trusted who had used ACIC for her residency application and I will always be grateful to Claire for recommending ACIC. Take this testimonial as your greatest friend if you are currently considering making Canada your home and consult ACIC first.

Do the self assessment and if you qualify then you will be contacted by Russell or Ryan or Delphine. Let them guide you, they are awesome, have all the information and are to the point.
The immigration process, and required information for the process can be really daunting. If you would like to discuss the services provided by ACIC or my experiences further please post a reply. And if you use their services let them know that Ali suggested the site to you.
I am truly and deeply, deeply, grateful to both Russell and Delphine for their assistance, their friendship, their understanding, and for filling me with hope and faith that my dream will be realised. I can not recommend them enough.
Also, happy to discuss BC as the "best place on earth!" It really is the most beautiful province. Though I have travelled to others and they all had their merits I couldnt imagine living anywhere else in the world!
May your dreams also be realised.
