Testimonial

Planned to bring my in laws to London, got CanAuz contact from a friend. Approached them, and they provided comprehensive inputs and assistance for UK visitor visa. Processed for both mother-in-law n father-in-law, and got VISAs in just a week. Especially, my uncle had some complications in getting VISA as he is working and some issues with bank statements, but still they made it succeed. I recommend them.

I really like the way they have received us. The team has very good knowledge on the complete process. They are managing end to end process. They are mostly reachable through emails and hardly to catch up through phones and guiding a lot. But overall really prefer people who want to pursue for immigration related activities this is a one stop shop for all.
