10 stars !! My experience with Brooke and her team exceeded my expectations My PR application was a 4 year long emotional journey and they were there for me 100% of the time. They were there for me mentally but also professionally.
I can’t thank and recommend Navio Immigration enough for ensuring my Canadian life came to fruition.
From the bottom of my heart thank you !

I applied for Permanent Residency through Express Entry, and with such an important application on the line, it was great to have someone guiding me through this - giving me the confidence that nothing had been missed for each step. I am so grateful for how much support I was able to get through Brooke and this platform. And with a step by step, chronological guide, it makes this BIG process seem very digestible.
Although I had friends who had been through the process, offering advice - there are so many specifics for each individual, and it would have been an incredibly daunting process without this help, and I'm not sure how I would have pieced it all together otherwise. When the application is complete, they have someone take a final look over everything to give it the all ok, before submitting.
Brooke and her team go out their way to offer personal support and guidance. Highly recommend for anyone going for PR in Canada

I want to share my great experience with Whistler Immigration Ltd. Their team helped me to become a permanent resident in Canada. I appreciate that they took the time to assess all my options and developed a strategy that suited me the best.
Their service is top-notch, and they pay attention to all the details. They also made sure I didn’t miss any deadlines and could stay in Canada while my application was in process.

I cannot thank Brooke and her team enough for their exceptional work in helping me obtain my permanent residency through the Canada Start-Up Visa program during the challenging times of the pandemic. From the moment I reached out to them, Brooke was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and supportive, providing me with the guidance and expertise I needed to navigate the complex immigration process.
Brooke and her team were always available to answer my questions and address my concerns throughout the entire process, making sure that all my paperwork was in order and that my application was as strong as possible. Their attention to detail, excellent communication, and made all the difference in my case and allowed me to achieve my goal of becoming a permanent resident of Canada.
I highly recommend Brooke and her team to anyone who is looking for a skilled and dedicated immigration attorney to help them with their immigration needs.

Your support is like missing pieces in my puzzle to complete my WP application. Your instructions are precise, concise, and easy to follow.
I feel it’s great to receive professional and careful service from Whistler Immigration, especially Brooke’s professional work attitude and enthusiasm.
I will enthusiastically suggest Whistler Immigration to my friends and family. I believe that, especially with sophisticated applications such as these Economic Immigration Programs, people should seek the advice of skilled and enthusiastic consultants such as Whistler Immigration.

“This service was invaluable! As someone who thought I kind of knew what I needed and had read all of the supporting document info online, and had been getting the documents together etc, having the advice and guidance from IMMPOWER on those small details, the extra documents & explanations that no one tells you that you need and that can make the biggest difference between a final yes and a no was fantastic.
I am so much more confident in my application having had IMMPOWER’S support and construction of each of the documents I submitted, specific advice relating to each of my documents & my application, and ruled out so much of the uncertainty and confusion of the application process. It is a service I’m so very grateful to have had and glad will exist for future candidates as well.”

I can rely on your experience and expertise. It was totally valuable for me.

Dear Whistler Immigration Team,
This is not a request for information, but I just want to thank you for all your help in the last years.
In January 2021 I had my roadmap consultation with Barbara Kolvekova and she taught me about the ways to Canadian Permanent Residence. Since then, she and other members of your team have assisted me in difficult situations. I am very happy to let you know I finally made it to the finish line by following the Inland Spousal/Common-law sponsorship pathway. I applied on December 2nd 2022 and received my eCOPR on February 13th (73 days!!!). Today was a very important moment for me when I finally got my permanent SIN number so I can work! It has been a long journey!
Last September I temporarily got stuck in the USA, but by showing your PR roadmap (among other documents) to the border officer, I was allowed back in Canada to complete my application inland. You can imagine how valuable that was to me!
Thank you for playing a very important part on my journey by giving me the feeling that it was possible to get PR, and by giving me the information to submit a very successful application.
Best regards,
Marinde Out.

Dear Brooke, thank you so much for being my representative for my Permanent Resident Application over the last 2 years. It was my pleasure to work with you and your Whistler Immigration’s team. Due to the impacts of Covid 19, the process of my application was taking longer than usual and many obstacles had happened but with your great support my result was finally released that can be better. I also highly appreciated your concern whenever I told you about how stressful I was with my venture and you helped me figure out what I should do. I wish you and your business all success in future. Once again, thank you so much.

Brooke and Whistler Immigration have literally been a lifesaver to our company. She is so savvy with immigration rules and regulations and will always find a way to work out a feasible plan for your immigration needs. We’ve engaged Brooke over the past few years for a variety of immigration challenges (LMIA’s, PR, Work Permits, COVID related immigration struggles) and we have never been disappointed with the outcomes or proposals. When other immigration consultants and lawyers have told us that a employees situation is impossible, Brooke makes the possible happen! If you are in the Whistler area or sea to sky we highly recommend her and her firm for any immigration needs.

Whistler Immigration has been a tremendous support for our employees and our business. Since we began working with Whistler Immigration, our team has saved valuable time and resources from their expert advise and professional guidance, specifically as it pertains to managing foreign workers and changing legislation. Brooke and her team have an expert understanding of managing complex immigration scenarios. Their support is always prompt, professional and personalized. They are well versed in the intricacies and unique requirements for businesses in the Whistler market. When supporting employees with immigration, it is always clear that Whistler Immigration has researched the employee’s background and eligibility criteria, always coming to meetings prepared to discuss and articulate go forward plans. Working with Whistler Immigration has assisted our business in a meaningful way with recruitment and retention, and supported our employees with their immigration needs. I would not hesitate to recommend Whistler Immigration to anyone looking for professional, reliable immigration support located locally in the Whistler community.

Brooke and her team helped me very successfully receive my Canadian permanent residency a few years back. They helped me (and my employer) with absolutely everything. What seemed like an impossible task to me, Brooke took care of and solved. Now I’ve been happily living in Canada since, thank you Brooke and team! I recommend your service to everyone who want to stay in beautiful country.

From our first correspondence with Whistler Immigration, Brooke and team have been there to provide us with reliable, professional, and personalized advice. The team are approachable and have a very personable demeanor.
We initially contacted them on a whim whilst on vacation in Whistler. We enquired about fulfilling a childhood dream of mine, moving to Canada. We spoke on the phone and despite us leaving the next day, they managed to accommodate us later that day. After providing Whistler Immigration with the information, they promptly put together a “road map” for us. This detailed the most probable paths we could go down, to achieve permanent resident status.
After deliberation and careful consideration, we decided to make the jump from the UK and put our trust in Whistler Immigration, to assist us in obtaining PR. Not only was this process stress free, the amount of time saved meant the fees were very economical. This enabled us to focus on work and enjoying our downtime exploring Canada.
During the process, I observed friends going through the same application without assistance. Most had small hurdles to overcome, the smallest was an additional 12 months wait, significant stress and multiple phone calls to immigration Canada. Others have had to return home and complete a different application, costing them time, money and frustration.
Whistler Immigration is very methodical in collecting all information they might need. The team developed a tight strategy to expedite the process as efficiently as possible. From when Whistler Immigration submitted our first application for BC PNP, we had received PR status a little after six months later.
Easily one of the best investments we have made, we are now happily settled in BC and both back to pursuing our careers in beautiful British Columbia. We now get to call Canada home.

My name is Mike Krieger and I am the founder and owner of Whistler Bungee. I have used the services of Whistler Immigration to acquire my PR card and also to renew it five years later. My company has also sponsored many individuals to acquire their PR card, always in successful use of the service of Whistler Immigration.
Their level of expertise and knowledge made it possible to succeed in all of these applications. For a decision as important as this it is the best investment a person can make to retain their services. If you are considering getting your PR card definitely schedule an interview with Whistler Immigration and retaining their services will increase your chances of success dramatically.

I would highly recommend Whistler Immigration for everyone who decide to become a permanent resident here in Canada. They were a huge help to me! It wasn’t an easy journey but thanks to them I was able to achieve my goals and become a permanent resident. Not to mention I talked to a different lawyer before and they said my application more likely won’t be a successful one but I didn’t give it up, contacted them and they made it happen! Big Thank you Brooke and Caitlin

I would highly recommend Brooke and her team at Whistler Immigration for anyone that needs help with visa’s/permanent residency. Brooke has been extremely helpful and never left me with any questions unanswered. I would come in stressed and with so many questions and uncertainty, but every time I would leave feeling relaxed and with a clear path to take my next steps. It would give them a 10 out of 10.

Brooke and her team at Whistler Immigration really went above and beyond and helped us with getting visas for positions we just weren’t able to fill with the state of the labour pool in Whistler. They found us the best possible strategy for our applicants and made it a seamless process. Even when we ran into a snag with one of our applications, they helped us get in touch with a supervisor and the application was approved, and now that employee is well on her way to a Canadian Residency! Happy to recommend Whistler Immigration and will most certainly seek out their services again!

Before my initial meeting there didn’t seem like many options for me to get my PR but during a consultation I was provided with 4 different pathways that were solid. It was thorough work and uplifting to hear. Caitlin and Brooke were both personable and professional throughout the whole process and again, very thorough! I would recommend Whistler Immigrations services to anyone who is seriously considering moving to Canada. You can trust that you have the right people for the job, and the best opportunity for success.

Brooke and her team have helped me navigate the technical waters for two visas and permanent residence with ease and confidence. Their expertise in their field has ensured a smooth application process the whole way, including the many questions and unusual caveats I seemed to run against. The peace of mind is a huge part of the visa process, and I likely would have given up on my Canadian dreams much earlier if I had to go at this alone.

Excellent service! A friend recommended to apply for my PR through Whistler Immigration. Everything went really smooth and I don’t regret a single bit on money spent. They did almost everything by themselves, I just had to chose program to apply through and provide all the information and documents. They’re really good with suggestions and explaining all the options you have. I recommend their services to everyone and surely will use it again in the future!

Going through the immigration process was long and stressful. Without the help of everyone at Whistler Immigration, I don’t think I would have been successful in gaining my permanent residency. The team answered all my questions plus more and guided me through the whole process step by step. I would recommend Whistler Immigration to anyone needing to use this service. They are a professional, experienced team and pay close attention to detail.

During the past two years in dealing with Whistler Immigration I have nothing but good things to say. I was initially referred to them by a friend to get a Labour Market Opinion for a new work permit, after getting that, I hired them to help me through the application for Permanent Residence. I found their services to be well priced, organized, courteous and highly professional… I would not hesitate to recommend them because they made the daunting experience of immigration as stress free as possible. I received my Permanent Residence for Canada and would like to thank Whistler Immigration for all their hard work and expertise for getting me there.

I am very thankful for a very wonderful service that you rendered to me throughout the whole processing period of my documents in coming to Canada. You assisted not only me but all members of my family and you patiently assisted us through the whole process of our Permanent Resident visas. Whistler Immigration is a very reliable company in assisting and preparing documents. Whistler Immigration makes their clients comfortable and the process easy because they provide documents and forms electronically and also provide help and easy instructions. I will surely recommend your company to my friends and people whom I know who wish to acquire services like this.

This was the first time we used an immigration service, and we are really pleased with how we were assisted. To every question we got an answer and our doubts were always immediately satisfied. It has been a long process during which the Whistler Team guided us step by step, making everything much easier and faster. It is a highly professional, courteous and focused team, but mostly focused on customer satisfaction, which we believe is the most important thing. As we have already done, without any doubt or hesitation, we recommend Whistler Immigration to other people, so that like us, they can get a great service and achieve their goals. We received our permanent residence this year, much faster than what we expected! So we would like to thank Whistler Immigration for their hard work, even at a distance!
