Testimonials & Success Stories - Page 1 of 5
Dear Del & Russell,
We'd
thought about emigrating to Canada for a number of years before finally
taking the plunge in February 2006. The next step was to decide do we 'go
it alone' or do we 'go with an immigration consultant?' After lots of
research , Avatar Immigration were recommended to us by a previous Client,
so we decided to get in touch. This was the best decision we could have
made!
It's hard to express our gratitude in words, save to say, we cannot thank
you enough for helping to make our dreams come true. Thank you for all the
hard work, professionalism, understanding and especially support. You
expertly guided us through the immigration process, always on hand to
promptly answer our questions and offer advice, working tirelessly in the
background. Now, here we are only 2 years on with our passport requests
from London.
It's been a rollercoaster ride with us sharing many ups and downs. When we
needed it, you always gave us reassurance and hope particularly through
our most difficult time when in March 2007 Simon was diagnosed with CML.
We thought our dreams were shattered but you helped us tremendously both
professionally and personally....we feel stronger for this experience. The
service you provide at Avatar is second to none and we would not hesitate
in recommending you to help others realise their dreams!!
Kind Regards,
Nicola, Simon, Thomas & Adam (The Richardson's)... soon to become official
permanent residents of Canada!!

Back
in April 2005 we made the decision to try and make our dreams come true.
But first we had to find a company that could help us.
We came across Avatar’s website and immediately felt comfortable. They
were very professional and above all else honest and they did not want
their entire fee upfront, so our journey began.
By June 2005 we had our file no and now we just had to wait. As many of
you will appreciate you have so many questions to ask and when ever we
contacted Avatar they were there to help. Even on occasions when we mailed
at the weekend the replies were instant.
On our third research trip we arranged to meet with Ryan (on a Sunday –
his day off) it was nice to put a face to the name.
Although there are no guarantees we honestly felt that with Avatar working
on our behalf we had given ourselves the best possible chance of living in
Canada and in March this year (2008) we had our interview waived and were
called for our medicals. This for us we felt was the last hurdle. We
passed and expected to wait for another 3 to 4 months but to our surprise
just under 4 weeks later we received the best news ever – we were in and
they wanted our passports.
We cannot thank the team at Avatar enough, Russ, Ryan, Del and Desiree you
done everything you said you would do and more and I would recommend you
to anyone about to embark on their journey. You are worth every penny.

The day after the TAX DAY in USA, we had an appointment at the Canadian
Embassy regarding our immigrant application. We were very nervous. The
appointment was in NYC, only 45 min away. We had butterflies in our
stomach. We didn’t know what to expect from them.
We were outside the building on 6th AVENUE at 7:30am, even tough our
appointment was at 8:30am. There were couple of people outside the
revolving door, that opens at 8am. We were out side the building and it
was chilly. At 8 am, when the door opened, a few people rushed in and ran
down the stairs as the embassy was in the basement. We and few people were
left behind. We were told by the security guards to wait upstairs and
outside the building till some one calls us.
We were told to stand on the walkway by the street next to a lamppost
as we are waiting for a bus or taxi. There were no signs on the street for
the Canadian Embassy.
Around 8:15 am the same guard came and started giving instructions for
visa applications, pictures and payments. Then we were escorted to the
consulate down stairs. We went thru the check point and were given the
ticket to wait for our turn for the interview. We were the first for the
interview.
We were praying for the better. Our number was called and we went into
the small interview room. The lady introduced her self, but forget the
name. I introduced my self. She was very nice and pleasant and had sense
of humor. She explained that she called because some things in the
application were not adding up, and needed clarification.
The passing numbers was 67. We went through the application. She
directly went to the education and certificates and the years that we had
put on the application. It was an error while filling the application on
our behalf. The year on the Business Administration Degree was listed as
1992 instead of 1990. We explained her that. After that she asked about
the entry to US. I gave her the copy of my I-94.
She was satisfied and after that she wanted to established the relation
ship with Amna’s aunt and mother. We had obtained copy of Amna’s mother
from Pakistan with Fathers full name and her aunt’s copy of degree with
the fathers name and after that we were able to establish the
relationship. During all this process she kept on putting the information
in the computer in our file.
She kept on smiling. She asked if we had any transcripts from school.
Which we did not have, but told her that we can get if needed. It will
take some time as it is 18 years old and it was no computers at that time.
She was fine with the degree after that. She stated adding points and it
came to 74. She was happy and told us that we passed and CONGRATULATIONS.
We both were relieved. She asked us if anything new she need to know
about. We told her that Amna is pregnant and is due in the first week of
June. She congratulated us and told her that we need to add the baby after
birth and give them the copy of birth certificate and go thru the medical.
She told us to wait until goes to the assistant consular and get the
medical papers ready. We should wait outside until called. We thanked her
very much and she was smiling and was happy for us, I guess. We came out
of the room like the weight of the world was lifted of our shoulders.
We were very happy and satisfied and making plans for the future. We
waited in the waiting room, which was filled now with applicants for
visa’s. After 20 min, our name was called and we went to window 3. We were
given medical papers with our name on them and that was the end of the
interview.
Thanks to Mr. Russell Monsurate and his entire team for this, from the
bottom of our heart.

We are very happy with the services of Avatar Immigration Consultants.
They guided us through what could have been a maze of an immigration
application process. More importantly, they were able to expedite it.
A few weeks after we submitted the required documents we got immediate
feedback on our file number. Then just 3 years afterwards, we received
notice that our immigration visas were ready to be issued.
With Avatar Immigration’s help, immigration interviews were actually
waived. During the course of our application, our case consultants,
Delphine Monsurate and Desiree, ensured that we were kept regularly
informed of the status our application and that further immigration
requirements were immediately attended to.

Dear Ryan, Russell and Delphine,

What started as a mere thought,
a vague and distant dream of one day migrating to Canada, is rapidly
becoming a reality for me thanks to the fabulous team at Avatar
Immigration Inc..
From the very first contact I had with Russell Monsurate and
Delphine Monsurate, I knew that they were consummate professionals and that I would
be well looked after throughout my application process.
I never
imagined the serendipities that would come from engaging Avatar Immigration’s services.
Avatar Immigration has definitely surpassed all my expectations in every
way possible with their thoroughly personalized focus on me and my case;
super-friendly, approachable and responsive team; simple and easy to
follow step-by-step application instructions and, perhaps most
importantly, (particularly for a former procrastinator like myself)
gentle, encouraging nudges and timely reminders that kept the process
flowing swiftly in the right direction.
With all of the enjoyable interaction I have had with the Monsurate
family, I have absolutely no doubt that they have my very best interests
at heart. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend their services to
anyone even remotely considering the possibility of migrating to Canada.
Why don’t you explore their beautiful, engaging and user-friendly website?
Or better yet, why not send them an email and experience the warmth and
genuineness of their response for yourself?
I guarantee you will be pleasantly surprised!
In fact, prepare to be pleasantly surprised as I can
certainly say that this stellar team has made the application process
(which appeared daunting and arduous from the outset) a simple and
enjoyable one!
If that weren’t enough, in addition to everything I’ve already mentioned,
Avatar Immigration’s premium services are available at such an
unbelievably reasonable price. I cringe to think of all the time, money
and energy I would have spent (and probably wasted) if I had have made the
unwise decision to go it alone and I can’t begin to express how glad I am
that I followed my intuition and jumped on the Avatar Immigration
Success Express! – I got my file number yesterday and needless to say I’m
ecstatic!!!

Dear
Ryan and Russell,
I write this letter as a “thank you” for all the help and assistance that
you have provided to Helen and I during the past 2 years. Your experience
and expertise has been instrumental in ensuring that we progressed through
BC’s Provincial Nominee Program as smoothly as has happened – resulting in
a successful immigration application.
I
know, from my experience of attempting to manage the preliminary
immigration phase personally, that you have eased this process
considerably and that without Avatar’s knowledge and support, this process
would have been far more difficult and time-consuming, and may even have
not succeeded.
I
would be very pleased to provide references as to the quality of your
services and the timely and effective personal attention that you have
given to our application.
Many thanks again for all your efforts and assistance and I enclose some
pictures of the General Store and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort.
Yours sincerely

****UPDATE****
So here we are finally in Canada. I wanted to thank you Delphine and
all your colleagues, especially Ryan who answered our initial queries and
Russell who along with yourself has been a massive help all through the
last couple of years. To be honest there were times I never thought we
would get to Canada but thanks to you we did!

Dear Russell Monsurate and Delphine Monsurate,
My family and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for
the good news that you just gave me that my medicals are finally on their
way to me in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.
My contact with you originated when I realized that (we have withheld
the name of this Toronto based company) had initially taken on my case
suddenly disappeared off the face of the planet.
This left me in a state of shock and panic. They refused to
return my calls, closed their entire company down and just vanished one
morning! Just like that!
I thought I'd be safe choosing a firm in Canada but this company WAS based
in Canada!!! It just goes to show that who you pick can be a matter of
life and death and I was lucky that I chose a new life with Avatar
Immigration Inc.
Avatar Immigration took my case up and never gave up despite the fact
that:
A) I could not find the old file that was submitted to the PNP Office in
Nova Scotia.
and
B) The Firm that I dealt with had mysteriously disappeared and refused to
answer my calls or return my emails!
Avatar managed to talk with the PNP authorities about my circumstances and
obtained a duplicated copy of my file (at the time a seemingly impossible
task) and then continued to process the case where (company name
withheld) had left off.
To complicate matters even further the CIC Abu Dhabi office alleged that
they had no trace of the paperwork sent to them via CIC London, that the
paper work was lost and that it could not be found again. In spite of this
I don't know how but Russell Monsurate managed to somehow to get them to
acknowledge receipt of the paper work and then despite all the road blocks
secure medical requests for me and my family.
At this stage I also wish to thank Ms. Francis Wolfe and Ms. Carmelle
Etremont of the Nova Scotia Office who I am told by Avatar went out of
their way to help trace my missing documents! You have my deepest
gratitude!
I wish to take this opportunity to tell readers of this letter that while
it may seem like it's only a matter of filing up forms before a Visa
magically appears on your doorstep, nothing could be further from the
truth!
It is of the utmost importance that you hire the right people for the job
NOW.
Russell Monsurate, Delphine Monsurate and all the staff at Avatar
Immigration never give up on you until the curtain closes. Your life and
your future are too important to make this a 'Do it yourself' project. I
hope you never have to go through a nightmare like I did.
Thank you Team Avatar

When
we decided to follow our dream of Emigration, the web seemed filled with
companies promising it all. We looked around and sent off a few enquiries.
One company and more importantly one set of people seemed to stand out.
We
visited Avatar's site and were impressed by the down to earth and easy to
understand way it was set out and written.
After making an attempt at the points matrix we were contacted within
24 hrs personally by Russell Monsurate.
This
was a trend that we came to rely on and trust through the last 18 months.
The emigration process can seem daunting and never-ending, but Russell's
team were always there whenever we needed information or reassurance.
Ours was not the normal route to
emigrate. As the processing times increased so did our anxiety. I
managed to secure a job offer and was granted a work permit enabling us to
achieve part 1 of our goal to obtain permanent residence status in Canada.
Throughout our whole process Russell Monsurate was always there with
words of wisdom and guidance (plus a few jokes from time to time).
We
were called for our medicals a couple of months ago and asked for further
and updated forms. Once again Avatar handled all the logistics for us and
this time Russell personally sent a FedEx with our stuff on a Friday
afternoon just before he set off on a business trip. This ensured minimum
wait or delay in getting our documentation to London.
Before
you decide to trust you and your families hopes and dreams to anyone let
us just say that it is the best decision we have made and would urge that
you think hard before committing to anyone else.
We are hoping now that things will work out but are safe in the knowledge
that nothing has been left to chance by Russ and want to take this chance
to thank him for all the support and professional service given to us so
far.

UPDATED PICTURE AND TESTIMONIAL
Please note that this is quite a special case and is in no way a
representation of typical processing times:
Synopsis:
1) We filed the case. CIC Paris refuses to acknowledge receipt of
the file.
2) We file an official complaint with the relevant authorities.
3) We then worked to trace the mail in order to prove that Avatar
Incorporated did send the file to CIC Paris and that the file was received
by CIC Paris.
4) Thanks to the integrity and honesty of the officers, they
acknowledged receipt of the file, located the file and as a special
gesture issued the client's permanent residency visa in ONLY THREE
MONTHS!
 The
moral of the story is that it pays to hire a competent professional to
handle your paperwork. Just ask yourself what you would have done
given this scenario.

Investor Update
Dear Russell and Delphine Monsurate,
Just
arrived back in England from our trip to Toronto and Montreal. All
of us can't wait to get back to Canada!
The
kids were crying when we said goodbye to Canada and wanted to move there
the same day. I told them that we all have to be patient, but thanks to
the excellent work you're going for us I know we won't have to wait too
long.
Please let Ryan and Del know that we are so happy that you they have
been there 24/7 for us, giving us advice and reassurances. I'd also like
to let them know how much we all enjoyed our visit to your country and
that we are even more keen to live there soon and enjoy a Canadian
lifestyle everyday!
Talk to you soon

Dear Russell,
We got home yesterday after spending a week in Ontario and the PR Visas
were here waiting for us. We're all feeling on top of the world at
the moment.
We have purchased a 0.76 acre lot backing onto serene nature trails
and a creek.
The
house we are having built is called the Wateredge, however they are doing
going to add a loft for us, with a further 2 bedrooms and a bathroom
there, plus we are having the basement finished with 2 more bedroom, a
gym, my office, another bathroom, plus a big playroom for the kids.
All in all it's about 5,500 sq ft in size. 7 bedrooms and 4
bathrooms plus the above additions.
We are going to be at the biggest freshwater
beach
in the world, and only 15km's from the number one ski resort in Ontario.
It would have been impossible to buy a new home in the UK with such a
layout and great neighbourhood in such a great location for such an
affordable and economical price.
The improvement in our lifestyle will be immense, rather than working
all the hours under the sum to stay afloat in the UK. Now we can relax and
enjoy what life has to offer and spend more time as a family.
We hugely appreciate all of your help with our application, and rest
assured we will recommend you to anyone I hear of who is looking to move
to Canada.
All the best and will be in touch soon,
Kind Regards,
Chris and Nina Eldred

Dear Russell, Del and Desiree,
We wish to thank you and everyone at Avatar for your continuous support,
help, advice and the personal care you showed us throughout the last 3
years.
We are glad that we chose Avatar, after it was recommended to us by a
close friend. We're happy to say that the service that we received
from Avatar was excellent!
Thanks so much again! You will surely get my referrals as this
beautiful testimony will be shared amongst our friends and relatives. We
await the day that our dreams will come true and we will be able to meet
all of you in person, in Canada.
We would like advise anybody who is interested in immigrating to Canada
not to take the risk of preparing their documentation by themselves. That
they should leave the work to proven professionals that can get the job
done. Leave it to Russell Monsurate and Avatar Immigration.
May God Bless you all,
Love,

Hi
Russell,
Hope you are keeping well. We have finally opened our B&B in
Riverview New Brunswick.
It
took a while but thanks to you we have fulfilled our dreams and are
settled in Canada!
It is early days yet with the business but we have had four bookings
in the first week. We are greatly enjoying our life here in
Canada and think how fortunate we are to be here enjoying this.

We look forward to seeing you if you are over this part of the country.
Best wishes,
John and Jan Carberry

August 23rd 2007
P.S. If you are considering immigrating to New Brunswick we highly
recommend a stay with John Carberry on your exploratory visit. Not
only will you have a wonderful bed and breakfast experience, but you'll
also be able to find out first hand what the immigration process is like
from one of our clients. If you'd like John's contact info please
call us at +1-604-925-9326.

Making a decision as important as emigrating to
another country can be one of the most difficult decisions you make in
life.
For that reason, I believe you should not trust
yourself to prepare all the documentation without help, because you could
make mistakes that put at risk the whole process of obtaining your
permanent residency visa.
You should take into account that you may lose not
only the opportunity to become a permanent resident in Canada but also the
money and time that has been invested in such an undertaking.
In the face of such situations, I chose not take any risks and for that
reason I decided to hire the services of somebody really professional and
with a wide experience in these processes.
The
selection was not easy and after analyzing the Cost-Benefit factor and
after doing some research, I found Avatar Incorporated on the internet. I
read the testimonials of other people and talked to my wife’s relatives
that live in Canada in order to ask them to verify if Avatar was a Legal
and Authorized Company and after some investigations they said to me that
they are exactly what they offer in their web site, so I opted to sign
with them.
I can now proudly say that I am not sorry for choosing them. They are
people that will fulfil your highest expectations. They have demonstrated
that they really have a deep and varied experience in the field of
Canadian immigration.
To this day I still appreciate the sincerity of Avatar's staff and I can
tell you that they are really very, very, good people. They make you feel
confident and calm at the same time.
I
have the pleasure of fully recommending the services of Russell, Delphine,
Desiree and Ryan Monsurate and the support staff at Avatar Immigration.
The results that they offer and their attention to detail is of the
highest quality.
I would like advise to anybody who is interested in immigrating to Canada
not to take the risk of preparing their documentation by themselves.
Leave this work to those who really know. Leave it to Russell Monsurate
and Avatar Immigration.
I am excited now that my visas have been approved and the embassy has
asked me to send my passports to stamp.
I feel very happy and I now can say that we succeed
thanks to Avatar’s Great Work.

To: Russell Monsurate and Delphine Monsurate,
Thank God, Alhamdulillah, with his mercy, love, and blessings my dream of
living in Canada is so close to coming true!!! Russell Monsurate,
Delphine, Ryan, Desiree and the whole team at Avatar Immigration are like
'miracle workers' to me, who by the Grace of Allah, were able to work
every day ( including weekends!! ), to help me reach my dream!
I have noticed from the emails that came in so promptly that these guys
work on Saturdays and Sundays unlike most Canadians who are apt to insist
on their 'private time off' on weekends at the very least! Not the Avatar
Team and especially Delphine Monsurate who was an angel in disguise!
I came to Canada as a student in Calgary and, at that time, living in a
country like Canada as a permanent resident seemed like a dream too far
away to reach. But after I graduated, I landed a job at my prof's office
and suddenly the opportunity to apply for a permanent resident visa seemed
reachable.
On one very fine day in August 2006, as I volunteered for the Indonesian
Community for the Heritage Festival I met with a wonderful couple who came
to Canada with the help of Avatar Immigration Inc. They were Mr. and Mrs.
Ariestiana and Yudhi Lesmana also like myself from Indonesia.
They highly recommended Avatar Immigration simply because Avatar had been
so honest, trustworthy, open, communicative, friendly and wonderful in
guiding them every step of the way. As usual, it took me a really long
time to think about it. I thank Allah for bringing them my way. At the
same time, Ariestiana and Yudhi were never tired of encouraging me to
contact them.
Finally, on my own, I contacted Russell Monsurate at Avatar and everything
went really fast from then on. My friends' recommendation and their
reasons why they recommended Avatar have proven to be wonderfully correct
and not exaggerated at all.
As a person with a lot of questions in her head about things, I always
asked more and more questions, especially from Delphine Monsurate who
handled my case. I knew some of my questions were so outrageously
repetitive and perhaps unnecessary, but nevertheless, the team at Avatar
Immigration, and especially Delphine, has been really-really patient and
compassionate in answering every detail I had asked.
They also have been surprisingly patient in helping me resolve some
wire-transfer issues during the first and second payments. It took about
28 days from the day my application was sent until I got my file number.
Then after a little less than 6 months (on one fine Friday afternoon after
I woke up from napping), I got a surprise phone call from Russell,
informing me that my medicals had been issued and mailed to me. He also
said my "interview was waived"
Now I am really close to getting an approval and I am confident, with
the wonderful service they are presenting and maintaining, I will get my
permanent residency in no time at all.
Avatar's service has been so exceptionally outstanding and their
confidence in me really has made me feel so special.
They will go the extra mile (and they surely have with me) to make sure
that everything goes smoothly for me. Such is service that I did not think
I deserved :-) but received anyways.
I highly recommend Avatar to anyone who's interested in moving to Canada
to start a life here. All correspondence to Avatar have been made through
phone calls and emails. While some people don't really believe and trust
this kind of service (and I've been one of them Avatar Immigration Inc. is
the only exception), I have to say to you dear reader that do believe in
what they do and trust that they do it for you only!
Sent to you dear reader and the Avatar Immigration Inc Team with my best
wishes and prayers for your well being. May God Bless you all!

INDONESIAN TESTIMONIAL
Terima kasih ya Allah, Alhamdulillah, dengan segala ampunan, kasih dan
karunianya mimpi saya untuk hidup di Kanada telah mendekati kenyataan!!!
Russell, Delphine, Ryan, Desiree dan seluruh anggota tim Avatar
Immigration telah menyerupai pembuat keajaiban, yang dengan karunia Allah,
telah bekerja dan berusaha keras untuk saya dalam menolong saya untuk
mencapai cita-cita tersebut.
Saya telah memperhatikan kerja keras mereka melalui email yang saya terima
dengan begitu singkat bahkan pada hari Sabtu dan Minggu, tidak seperti
orang Kanada lainnya yang sangat berpegang teguh pada privasi-nya. Tetapi
Avatar Immigration sangat berbeda, terutama Delphine Monsurate yang telah
menjadi malaikat penolong saya.
Saya sampai di Canada sebagai seorang mahasiswi di Calgary dan pada saat
itu, hidup di negara seperti Kanada sebagai seorang permanent resident
seakan sebuah mimpi yang tidak akan pernah tercapai. Namun setelah lulus
sekolah, saya mendapat pekerjaan di kantor professor saya dan seketika
saya merasa kesempatan untuk menjadi permanent resident kemungkinan bisa
tercapai.
Pada suatu hari di bulan Agustus 2006 ketika saya bekerja sebagai
sukarelawan untuk komunitas Indonesia di acara Heritage Festival, saya
berkenalan dengan sepasang suami-istri dari Indonesia yang sangat baik
yang telah memulai hidup mereka di Kanada dengan pertolongan Avatar
Immigration Inc., Ariestiana dan Yudhi. Mereka sangat merekomendasikan
Avatar karena Avatar sangat jujur, terpercaya, terbuka, komunikatif, ramah
dan luar biasa dalam membimbing mereka mewujudkan keinginan mereka untuk
tinggal di Kanada. Seperti biasa, saya mengulur-ulur waktu dalam berpikir
dan mengambil keputusan untuk memulai hidup di Kanada. Puji syukur kepada
Allah SWT yang telah membawa mereka ke jalan hidup saya. Ariestiana dan
Yudhi tidak pernah lelah dalam mendorong dan meyakinkan saya untuk
bergerak cepat.
Akhirnya saya menghubungi Russell di Avatar dan sejak saat itu semuanya
berjalan dengan cepat. Rekomendasi Ariestiana dan Yudhi telah terbukti
nyata dan tidak berlebihan sama sekali. Sebagai seseorang yang selalu
mempertanyakan segala hal di kepala saya, saya selalu bertanya dan
bertanya dan bertanya kepada Avatar. Beberapa pertanyaan saya memang
sangat berulang-ulang dan bahkan tidak penting. Namun Avatar, terutama
Delphine, sangat sabar dalam meladeni dan menghapus keragu-raguan saya.
Mereka juga sangat sabar dalam menolong saya menyelesaikan masalah proses
transfer pembayaran untuk pembayaran tahap pertama dan kedua. Saya
menunggu hanya selama 28 hari untuk mendapatkan nomer file saya dari hari
ketika dokumen saya dikirimkan oleh Avatar kepada Imigrasi Kanada. Setelah
itu, dokumen untuk cek-up medik saya sampai hanya setelah penungguan
selama tidak lebih dari 6 bulan. Russell menelpon saya khusus untuk
mengabarkan hal itu. Sekarang, setelah semuanya telah mendekati akhir
proses ini, saya yakin bahwa dengan pertolongan jasa Avatar, saya akan
mendapatkan Visa permanent resident saya dalam waktu dekat.
Jasa Avatar tergolong sangat luar biasa dan kepercayaan mereka terhadap
saya (terutama setelah masalah proses pengiriman pembayaran) membuat saya
merasa istimewa. Mereka akan melakukan segala hal (dan mereka telah
melakukan segalanya untuk saya) agar semuanya berjalan lancar hanya untuk
saya. Jasa seperti itu merupakan hal yang saya rasa tidaklah pantas saya
terima :-) namun tetap saya dapatkan. Saya sangat merekomendasikan Avatar
untuk mereka yang tertarik untuk pindah ke Kanada dan memulai hidup layak
di sini. Seluruh komunikasi dan korespondensi dengan Avatar telah
dijalankan melalui email dan telepon. Untuk beberapa orang, hal ini
tidaklah mudah untuk dipercaya, namun percayalah akan apa yang dilakukan
Avatar dan percayalah bahwa Avatar akan melakukannya hanya untuk Anda!
Saya mendoakan yang terbaik untuk Anda sekalian dan semoga Allah SWT
memberkati Anda sekalian dan semua anggota tim Avatar Immigration Inc.

To everyone at the Avatar Immigration Inc:
We are so excited!
We
were introduced to Russell Monsurate by my co-worker who is a relative of a
successful applicant with his firm.
You dealt with our filing expeditiously by giving us quality service which
was always accurate and informative. You were quick with responses to our
questions, prompt and very resourceful with in-depth information and gave
us expert guidance in preparing the relevant documents.
Honesty and trust are highly ranked in your company.
Our file was submitted in December 2005 and concluded in July 2007.
We were overjoyed with your business. Your service is very thorough and
enabled us the privilege of not having to sit an interview. We received a
waiver of interview which made the process much faster.
We will continue to recommend Friends and family to do business with you.
Thanks for all the telephone calls, e-mails and all your kind courtesies
through-out the process.
THANKS
FOR TAKING ME AND MY FAMILY TO CANADA. We will be landing in Pickering,
Toronto in July, 2007.

BCPNP Testimonial
Dear Ryan,
Russell Monsurate and Team,
We would like to convey our sincere gratitude for the outstanding and
highly professional support you have been providing to us and our business
proposal for the BCPNP program over the last 12 months.
Our requests have always been dealt with in a timely manner and your
advice, be it on personal, educational, business or finance matters have
been to the highest possible standards.
On numerous occasions, without your expertise, we would have had
unnecessary delays or committed outright errors in processing our goals
setting up a new company and moving our family to British Columbia.
This enables our family and our business to move, as planned, in the
autumn of 2007 to the Fraser Valley Area and set up a new business in the
mobile education industry.
If you are evaluating a reliable, friendly and highly professional partner
who can give you the best preparation in your goal moving to Canada -
don't look any further - you have found it in Avatar Immigration.
We will certainly recommend AI services to all our friends, colleagues and
business associates.

** Testimonial Update **
To: Russell Monsurate & Delphine Monsurate
Once
again thanks for the great support and advice you have given us during our
two year wait, we are now at the point where we are only a few months from
a decision which will hopefully allow us to realise our dream of
emigrating to Canada to join over 50 of our friends and relatives who
already reside there.
When we started off on this journey you explained to us how the points
process worked and informed us that as we were borderline on this score,
we needed to do several things to ensure success; luckily for us you had
been predictive enough to see that at that time in early 2004 the waiting
times were only half what they would be in 2006. Therefore the advantage
for us was that due to the processing times increasing it gave us enough
time to strengthen our case by ensuring that our points tally increased.
As such, following your advice I immediately signed up for a years course
at Broxtowe College in French; we even took a holiday in Brittany to
improve our language skills. Alison signed up for a B-Tech diploma in
Tourism & Travel and then took an advanced course in the same. Along with
attending countless trade related courses I persuaded my company to
sponsor me to do a Foundation Degree in Business & Management with Leeds
Metropolitan University and West Notts College of Further Education. Even
my eldest son, James (14) has caught the `self improvement through
education` bug, he won a coveted place (one of only two pupils in the
entire school) on the course, Young Apprenticeship in Sports Management,
Leadership and Coaching at South Nottingham College. We are very proud as
he is a talented musician and sportsman; he plays for Nottingham Rugby
Football Club (U15).
It seems that our life has been put on hold for the last two years; we are
all so looking forward to coming over to Canada. I am looking forward to
starting work in the Transport Industry; one of Alison’s relatives has
hopefully got me a job with a bus company in Vancouver. Alison has done
some research and feels confident of obtaining work with either Servisaire
at Vancouver Airport or in one of the many travel agencies.
We are a family that loves the outdoors, last weekend we went camping in
Ashbourne, Derbyshire……..we can’t wait to explore BC! James and I have set
ourselves a target to take part in the annual Yukon River Quest 2008.
These are our dreams, you are our dream makers.

Dear Russell Monsurate and Delphine Monsurate,
I wanted to write to you a few words of appreciation in getting us through
to the medicals. We have a waiver of interview and this alone has saved us
9 months or more!
The process was almost near painless as Avatar did all the forms and
submissions once I had sent them the information. You and your staff were
fun to interact with especially Delphine who was tireless, patient and
compassionate.
Looking back, it seemed like an impossible mountain to climb, which became
a hassle free and a well-organized process.
Avatar’s proficiency and reliability is second to none, and looking back
at the entire process, I don’t think we could have done anything better or
different.
Your team clarified my constant questions raised during the whole process
very promptly.
I would recommend Avatar Immigration Services to any prospective client
applying for Canadian Citizenship.
I am glad that I ran onto your website and I now look forward to moving
with my family in the near future.
We are so excited at the thought of exploring a whole new life, meeting
kind and friendly people and yes, most of all living in those 'wide open
spaces'!

Thank you once again and best wishes.

We
are happy to give a testimonial to Avatar having dealt with them for just
under three years.
We started on this exciting journey back in July 2004, when we attended
emigration seminars to start the ball rolling. These were followed up with
more specialist personal meetings, where we filled in forms for assessing
our eligibility and points needed for Canada. We did not, however feel
confident with these large and very expensive agencies, so we investigated
other options available.
I was surfing the net for suitable agencies when I came across Avatar. I
looked up the meaning and was pleasantly surprised. Having browsed their
informative website, I felt confident, at ease and comfortable with what
was being said. We especially liked the meaningful quotes and simple
spiritual messages, which, made us feel we were dealing with people of
integrity.
Avatar’s fees were a fraction of the fees we had been looking at
previously and unlike other agencies the costs were spread over the
process, which made it easier.
We have always been impressed with their prompt replies to our e-mails and
their patience when responding to our endless queries and questions often
getting replies within minutes and often on a Sunday. Avatar never seems
to sleep.
We would like to especially thank Del for always being warm friendly and
positive both on the phone (when things appeared desperate for us) and
also by email.
A warm thank you to Russell, who took the time out of his busy schedule to
meet us personally in Vancouver during our research trip in May 2005. We
spent several hours one evening with him, enjoying both his company and
his wealth of knowledge and wisdom in many varied fields.
These personal touches made all the difference to us. It proves that
business can be people focused, and is all the better for it. We certainly
appreciate this.
Just a couple of days ago we received our final disposition (request for
passports and those all important permanent residence Visas) having sailed
through the medicals, just six weeks ago. (Del had been instrumental in
tracing and chasing our case prior to this.)
Finally, with Avatar’s help and expertise, we are at the final stage of
the process. This August 07 we hope to be landing in Vancouver to start
our new life. Now, we are getting VERY excited.
If you are reading this and thinking of using a certified consultant, we
would not hesitate to recommend and support the Avatar team.
“The main aim of mankind is to make man kinder”, Avatar does!
Many Thanks,
Rick, Sue and offspring.

Update in May 2007
My Dear Russell and Delphine,
Using the opportunity I would like once again to thank you and the AI team
for the excellent job you have done in facilitating our immigration to
Canada.
The
process of review and approval of our immigration case by CIC took less
than 18 months. We came to Canada on 3rd April 2007 to complete the
landing procedures and the see the country.
It
was a great pleasure for us to meet you and Ryan in Vancouver. We
appreciate your invaluable advice and guidance with regard to our future
settlement and life in Canada. I am particularly grateful for your
assistance in securing our PR cards. Both Valentina and I cannot yet fully
realize the fact that we are now permanent residents of Canada.
We
enjoyed our stay in Vancouver as well as the short visits to Calgary,
Toronto and Niagara Falls. It goes without saying that Canada is a great
country to live in - the nature is beautiful, people are friendly and
there are all conditions for enjoying the life. We will definitely settle
in Canada on completion of my current assignment in Afghanistan
I
am looking forward to continuation of our friendship and would be more
than happy to use your services and rely on your professional advice in
future. I would also like to assure you that I will continue to recommend
AI services to my friends, colleagues and all those who wish to immigrate
to Canada.
Sincerely yours

Dear Del and Russell Monsurate,
I would like to convey my family’s sincere gratitude for the very
excellent and professional way which you carried out your work as our
consultant. We feel fortunate and blessed to have been introduced to
you by the Oniretis to represent us in our Canadian Immigration
application.
It was as if I was in a dream land when I received your phone call in
Nigeria a few days ago intimating me of the excellent and thrilling news
that the CIC has issued a request for our Medicals. I was really
flabbergasted that it took only twenty – one days (21) from the day our
application was filed to get our file number.
My family was equally
astounded that it took only fifteen months (15) from the day our
application was submitted to the day we were asked to go for our medicals.
The beauty of it all was the fact that we had an oral interview waiver.
How did you pull it out? To be candid, our entire immigration process was
virtually effortless on our part because you did the bulk of the job
professionally.
May the Almighty God continue to guide you and bless you and you family
real good as always for bringing smiles to so many families.
Once more, thank you immensely for the excellent job done and keep up the
good work!!!!!

Hi Russell Monsurate and team,
This
email is to convey my gratitude for the excellent work done by you
and your team for getting my immigration application approved.
My special thanks to Russ, Del, Desiree and Ryan. I've communicated
with all these people at one point or another during my processing. It
took only one year from the time I got my file number to the actual
approval (I applied from the USA as I live there). I also got my INTERVIEW
WAIVED. I just finished with my medicals today and I believe that I'm very
close to the final moment.
This all started with a casual search in Google about the firms through
which I could apply for Canadian immigration.
It is only by accident that I came across this web site; but when I read,
the profiles of Russ and Del and the rest of the team , I knew that I had
found what I was looking for.
I initially applied for my sister and her husband (that was from India -
it is still under processing) through Avatar, and I was very impressed by
the amount of attention the Avatar team was giving that application (and
therefore, to every application).
I didn't have to think twice when it was time to apply for myself. Russ
and his team did a good job of preparing my documents; submitted it to CIC
and I got my file number in less than 2 months.
Meanwhile, Russ advised me to write the IELTS exam. I tried to
procrastinate as much as possible, but a nice ultimatum from Russ did the
trick. :) Within 3 months of writing my IELTS test I got the good news
from Russ saying that my application was accepted by CIC without an
interview... wow !!!
And here I am! I highly recommend Avatar for anyone seriously looking to
apply for Canadian immigration without going through many hassles. They
are committed: you just need to commit yourselves.

We started our quest for emigration to Canada years ago, 2004 in fact.
We read most of the Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) site and
started to download and print the immigration forms. You see, based on all
the information we could gather and after days/weeks of research we
concluded that we could only prove that we had 52 points.
This was 15 short of the 67 currently required by CIC for their Skilled
Worker Immigration program. So we thought we would consult an immigration
lawyer/consultant to assess if we had any realistic chance.
Having trawled the internet filling in numerous immigration assessments
(and there are a lot out there), emigrating to Canada looked doubtful,
they all said "thanks, but no thanks.". Things were starting to look kind
of bleak. Persist I did, until I happened across www.russcanada.com,
"another assessment to do" - I thought. Then I read some of the
testimonials, hmmm, worth a go. So I filled it in and got a 52 point score
back ~ as expected. It was then that this consultancy stood out from the
other.
An email from them, not an automatically generated one, but a personal
one.
After a little email discussion and a couple of telephone conversations it
was determined by AI that Russ and Del would take on our cause. So, being
a skeptic about committing to something so personal over the internet, I
contacted a few of their previous customers (I found their names in the
testimonial section).
After confirming the quality and attention to detail with previous
clients, my wife and I decided to go forward and use AI. So I phoned
Russell and the ball started to roll. We discussed every aspect of our
careers / life history / exams / schooling possible until eventually the
paperwork was all filled in and complete. So, from the original 52 points,
and the thorough job AI did researching our backgrounds we found out that
we actually deserved 72 points, therefore giving us more than required.
Our application arrived at the Canadian High Commission in London on the
9th August 2004. To my surprise, in September 2004 I received an email
from Russ. Wow, we have a file number, so our application has passed
"paper screening". Now we were back to the waiting game again, but at
least we are over the first hurdle and in the running.
Rolling on to December 2006, we received the much awaited email stating
that AI had received our medical requests. At last, over the next hurdle.
But things for us have changed since 2004, there were 3 of us then and now
in December 2006, we are expecting the fourth. Another test for the AI
crew. We took all of our medicals in January 2007, with the exception of
my wife's X-Ray. Our newborn arrived on February 26th 2007. Now back to
the paperwork and AI provided everything we needed to add him to our
current application. I am writing this in April 2007 and AI have just
confirmed they have couriered the new medical request for the baby request
to us. Exceptional service.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the team at AI,
particularly Del who has personally looked after our case. Russ has been
an inspiration, particularly in the periods where a "boost" was needed.
So we are almost complete, final medical to do then wait for passport
requests, hopefully going to land in the summer. It goes to show, listen
to those that offer advice, trust in those that deliver. I would like to
state that we would highly recommend the services of AI, I am absolutely
sure that our application would have been rejected if we did not use their
professional services.
Kind Regards,

A BCPNP Testimonial
Like
many people on the treadmill in the UK we had harboured a dream to improve
our quality of life. We had the opportunity to make this a reality last
summer and coincidentally whilst on vacation in Canada we stumbled into
the perfect place and decided to change our dreams into reality.
Another coincidence had us meeting an English couple there who also
recommended Avatar Immigration. Avatar had handled their BCPNP
application in almost record time.
Changing dreams into reality is no mean feat and the enormity of
changing our whole lives was daunting and stressful. However, from the
first meeting with Russell and Ryan we felt we were in the best possible
hands to help us through the administrative and emotional turbulence.
They are not just immigration consultants! Ryan not only dealt
efficiently with our application, steering us through the paperwork,
processes and advising on how to best present ourselves and our business
plan on paper and in the interview to ensure success, but he also gave us
confidence in our abilities and ideas. Let me tell you that in the middle
of the night when doubts creep in, that really helped.
We had some people advise us that an immigration consultant was not
necessary to get through the process, however, we certainly do not regret
appointing Avatar. In fact we believe that without their services and
support we would not be in the position we are in today from which we are
looking at just a few weeks before we move to Canada, only 6 months after
making the application.
More than that, they have given us the support and advice that has
helped us to stay focused on our goal and to stay sane in one of the most
stressful times of our lives.
We would thoroughly recommend them to anyone considering this step.
Believe me, it really helps to know that someone is not only ‘handling’
your case, but is working on it almost 24 hours a day. I can’t count the
number of e-mails we have received from Ryan in the early hours of their
morning in Vancouver, to ensure that we received an update as soon as we
awoke, rather than having to wait almost a whole day because of time
differences.
Thanks to Ryan Monsurate, Russell Monsurate and the rest of the team, we will be living out our
dream in the mountains, investing hard work in our own future rather than
a faceless corporation, and becoming part of a real community. We can’t
wait and we can’t thank you enough for your help.
Sincerely,
Joanne Sweeting & David James

Dear Russell
and
Team Avatar,
When I first thought about immigrating to Canada, like most people I went
online in search of information. I came across many websites with
information on how to apply, however, on most of these sites, I was given
information which left with me with more questions than answers.
Next I
turned to online forums but it seemed like people were there more to pat
themselves on the back than answer questions, and even when they did I was
never really satisfied with the answers. "A little knowledge is always
dangerous"
That's when I started looking online for professional representation,
because no matter what, I did not want my case to fail. I have heard of
horror stories where people have waited 3, 4, 5 years or more, only to get
a refusal in the mail.
I am so glad that after much searching I eventually
found your site. Reading about your success rate and testimonials prompted
me to fill out a free Online assessment – Glad I did immediately…otherwise
I would just have delayed my own entry into Canada!
Your company was the only one to get back to me so quickly, and sometimes
answered questions within an hour or two. I am now ecstatic to say I made
the right choice with Avatar Immigration. They gave me an agreement with a
full money back policy and on top of that split my
payment into three installments.
I am glad to report that my application is on track for completion and I
received interview waiver! Getting a interview waiver cuts the processing
time down by a year or even more, and these days with processing times
trailing off into the horizon, every month counts.
With Avatar at my side, no stone was left unturned. They were so thorough
that they even found even small inconsistencies in the information I
provided them and corrected them immediately.
Del and everyone on Team Avatar Canada were very helpful and guided me
throughout the whole process, many a times going out of their way to
contact me even during weekends just so that any pending issues got
resolved at the earliest.
I remember a couple of occasions when some particular documents were to
be processed from 3rd world countries.
Their experience and fortitude
helped me come through – when I had all but given up, their encouragement
and confidence in their work kept me going. You were the best insurance
money can buy!
Your are best….bar none !!! Keep up the excellent work !!!
I have already recommended your services to those seeking entry into
Canada and will continue to do so.
Once again, A BIG Thank you very much to Del and all of the staff that helped
process my application at Avatar.
With Warm Wishes and Best Regards,
Shobha & Kishor Chokshi,

Dear Russ, Del and Desiree,
A big thank you to everyone at Avatar for your continuous support, help,
advice and the personal care you showed us throughout the last 2 years.
We are glad that we choose Avatar, after a close friend's
recommendation. Consultancy and service from Avatar was excellent.
Your prompt response for even silly questions 24/7 is something very
unique to Avatar.
We have received our Permanent Residency Visa for landing in Canada and
would like to thank you again for the personal care and professional
services that we received. We look forward to landing in Canada
shortly.

Thanks
to all your hard work we are now PERMANENT RESIDENTS OF CANADA!
Without you I doubt we would even have a file number yet. At
first we were not sure about hiring you guys to help because we thought we
could do it ourselves. After speaking to Russell and Del, however,
we decided that as time was a major factor for us we should get your help
to make sure nothing went wrong to delay the process (and thank God we
did).
It has now taken less than 2 years for the process to come to
completion.
We have met people who have applied for immigration by themselves and
have waited 4-5 years.
it is so hard to speak to people from the embassy but Del managed to
find out what was happening each time I asked.
Everyone at Avatar has been so helpful answering all my questions and
helping me with all the forms and paperwork needed. Ryan even talked
me through programs I could download on my computer to make things easier
for us.
We have been living in Canada for 4 months now and we love it!
Mike is working, and my oldest daughter who has started attending the
local high school has made lots of new friends. All of her friends
back in England can't believe she has ski days with the school.
I would recommend moving to Canada with Avatar Immigration to anyone!
It the best thing we have ever done! Thank you so much once
again. We could not have done it without you.
Best wishes,

I
am very thankful to Russell and Delphine from Avatar Canada, who are
helping me at every step of my Canadian Immigration Process.
In the beginning, I was quite hesitant about even getting started with
the process. There was so much information to sift through online
and so much more that I couldn't even find online.
With Avatar at my side I felt confident about my chances of success.
When I got started they were there to remind me to send them the
documentation they needed when I felt like procrastinating and as a result
I received a file number much quicker than expected.
I started using their services in February 2005 and then slacked off a
bit. Finally, after they motivated me to get moving again I mailed them my
documents and my case was filed in September of 2005.
I
am now very excited to hear that I have shaved a good 6 to 9 months off of
my processing time because I have received a waiver of interview.
All I have left to do now is get my medicals and Police Clearances done.
I am still working on it but Russell and Delphine are always there to
help me. I am very happy with their speedy response times and once I get
my Canadian residency I am definitely going to use them to help the rest
of my family immigrate to Canada as well.
I'd like to thank all of the excellent staff at Avatar Immigration as
well as the Visa Officer assigned to my case.

To entrust somebody with our future affairs was not easy to decide, but
since the beginning of our research with Avatar Immigration Inc. our
family felt that we were moving in the right direction. With every email
we felt more and more confident that AI was the right company for us.
They were concerned about our case from the very first inquiry and lasted
until our very last step through to getting our PR visas issued. Just like
us you too will find a feeling beyond business; a care and concern that it
is hard to find in this competitive society.
We are grateful, we are happy, not only for our new and different life,
but also for having gained new friends and knowledge through our constant
contact with AI.
Be assured you are delivering your dreams into very competent hands. You
will all be very well guided.
Once again our deepest gratitude to Ryan, Russell and all the staff at
Avatar Immigration.

Dear Russell and Team,
Hearing
Russell tell me that my visa was ready to be issued was pure elation!
At
the outset kindly accept our whole hearted gratitude for all the support
extended by you and your team.
Your service standards have been consistent from the day we started the
process with you......you made us feel special, your guidance was personal
and not limited to just the immigration process.
Russ
we chose your firm because some old friends of us knew you and highly
recommended you.
Thank you for reminding us that we are responsible for our own destiny,
that God always helps those who help themselves and that if we bring
enthusiasm and boundless energy to our work we can create magic in our
everyday lives.
You've also shown us how we could outgrow our comfort zones and how
what we consider to be our current safe boundaries were once unknown
frontiers as well.
To
all you web visitors reading this, I want you to know that with Avatar
Immigration Inc. you don't just get a visa.....you get the life wisdom of
Russ & Del which is priceless!
Our best wishes to all of you that you continue experiencing causeless
joy, limitless love, prosperity and abundance NOW and FOREVER.
With lots of Love and Hugs from Umesh, Shruti, Shanti and little Prem.

Please find below a remarkable story of one of our clients, Mrs. Donna
Kavangh. Please note that this is quite a special case and is in no
way a representation of what you may expect to happen in your own case.
Synopsis:
1) We filed the case. CIC Paris refuses to acknowledge receipt of
the file.
2) We file an official complaint with the relevant authorities.
3) We then worked to trace the mail in order to prove that Avatar
Incorporated did send the file to CIC Paris and that the file was received
by CIC Paris.
4) Thanks to the integrity and honesty of the officers, they
acknowledged receipt of the file, located the file and as a special
gesture issued the client's permanent residency visa in ONLY THREE
MONTHS!
The moral of the story is that it pays to hire a competent professional
to handle your paperwork. Just ask yourself what you would have done
given this scenario.
 
Click to Enlarge please.
The
decision to move to Canada was taken soon after returning from a two year
period living in Alberta with the British Military. Even as early as the
return flight my wife Karen had decided that she would love to live there
and within 6 months we started to actively seek how best we could achieve
this.
One evening we were gathering immigration information when out of the blue
an e-mail from Russ arrived informing us that he could assist us in
achieving our dreams. We phoned him and after the call decided that we
were more than capable of making the move and he was the right person to
help. We were given Del as our consultant and this saw the start of an
exciting journey.
The wait for any decision was at times difficult due to a number of delays
caused by successful court cases from previous applicants and immigration
departmental changes. This could have proved to be problematic as I had a
definite end of service date that could have seen me without any fixed
abode and unemployed. Throughout this Del could not have been more helpful
and her enthusiasm and confidence regularly put our minds at rest.
We are now finalizing the move to Canada. Our house just outside Calgary
is forecast to be finished towards the end of May and to date I have
received a couple of job offers. My children still have fond memories of
their last time in Canada and cannot wait to get their skis and ice skates
on once again.
I cannot thank Russ and Del enough for the part they played in helping us
to fulfill our dream. The process has been fraught with possible dangers
but they have made it a comparatively stress free experience and at times
enjoyable. We haven’t made it easy for them having lived in a number of
different countries since the age of 18 and regularly requiring guidance
and updates as the process has continued.
We were so excited when he heard that our Permanent Residence visas
would be issued without any interview being held. I regularly
recommend Russ and the company to anybody who will listen and may wish to
make the same move as us.
They have been fantastic and we as a family owe them a huge debt of
gratitude.

Dear Russ,
This is to convey my joy, happiness and deepest appreciation for your kind
help with my Canadian immigration application.
I just got my file number from Desiree's mail to me on receipt of my
second installment payment. And this came at the best time for me raising
my hope of good fortunes as I was recently attacked at home here in Lagos,
Nigeria by hoodlums on the 26th of June's midnight. The experience was
nothing short of horrendous with all our valuables and money stolen, and
members of my family subjected to intense physical and psychological
torture. And then, to say on resumption from a sick leave thereafter, I
got my file number just 4 months from the date of my sending in my
application to you; goes to say that God still has my family in mind and
will not leave us to perish.
Immigration to Canada has been my life's goal and from the way things are
going with my application, I just know that you guys are the most
wonderful bunch. I cannot wait to be in Canada as I am believing God for
the least processing time on my application as everything has been
miraculous for us.
Thanks so much and you will surely get my referrals as this beautiful
testimony is shared amongst my friends and relatives.
Thanks once again while I await the day which is quite close that we will
all meet there in Canada.

It
has long been a dream of ours to emigrate to Canada; the problem is where
on earth do you start with something so life changing? Looking at the CIC
website made it worse – loads of complicated forms and an overwhelming
feeling that if we made a mistake it could be costly in terms of time,
money and emotion. So we started looking for help. There were loads of
websites with agents who “guaranteed” they would get your permanent
residency visas – all very tempting, but very much the hard sell and
bombardment by e-mail. Ironically it was the testimonials that you are now
reading, that brought us to the door of the Avatar team. From the first
contact we knew we could trust Russ, Del, Desiree, Ryan and the team to
guide us through the maze of forms, points, NOC numbers, photos of a
specific size, police clearances and so many other pieces of paper!
Del
calmly dealt with our CVs and the endless list of addresses and education
certificates that we threw at her, and in no time produced the most
amazing forms; they just looked and felt professional. Then at each step
of the way, a friendly e-mail told us what was needed next. The file
number appeared in less than 2 months, despite processing times becoming
depressingly and almost impossibly long!
It
is fair to say that it has been difficult to await each stage of the
process. It has felt like our life has been on hold while we await news,
not wanting to commit to anything long-term in case the visas came
through. A number of times we have been impatient enough to ask what’s
going on, to see if there could be any way around the interminable
waiting. Each time Russ, Del and the team have been so supportive and
understanding. Where they have been able, they have asked the immigration
authorities questions on our behalf; otherwise they have explained why
there was a delay. Often it is the not knowing which is hardest.
So now imagine our delight when a happy e-mail arrived last week from Russ
saying our medicals had been issued and we were at the last stage. What
has made this even more amazing is that the interview was waived, which
has saved us so much time, money and stress. So we are almost there. My
wife is now blowing the bank account on new clothes and things for our new
life, and I am happy to see her so happy.
I am sure that some of the things I have described, you have also been
through. Perhaps you are feeling that the mountain that is the immigration
process is too high to climb, and that it is alright for us as we on the
other side of it now. All I can say to you is that you often have to work
hardest for the things that are worth the most – but why not have some
help? In every way I can recommend Avatar; they will help you and support
you, but most importantly they will not push you into something that
perhaps is not right for you, or for which you may not be ready at this
time. You have nothing to lose by asking their considerable advice, and
everything to gain. Good luck and from the bottom of our hearts, thank you
Avatar. See you in Canada!

Dear Del/Russ,
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
I have lived here in the UK for 32 years now. My wife and I came to
the conclusion that it would be best to migrate to another country as we
wanted a change of scenario.
For years I said to myself I would migrate to Canada and now I can’t tell
you how happy and excited I am at the prospect of landing in Canada as a
Permanent Resident soon. My dream has come true!
Avatar Immigration took care of most of my queries, doubts and anxiety.
They were prompt and always there for me when I needed them. I was so very
excited to learn that my interview was waived. That meant saving many
months waiting for an interview date and then the agony of going to one.
No words can express the feeling that you get when you see the words
“Congratulations, your file number came in today” or “Guess what, we just
received a waiver for interview for you”. Avatar Immigration has given me
that feeling, and I’m glad I chose them. If you want to move to Canada
then get in touch with them immediately. They are at www.russcanada.com
and they will make you feel very much at home!
Thank you Del and Russ for doing a great job for me and the family!

Dear Russ,
"I found Russ's company one amongst many helping acquire Canadian
immigration. However, I chose to ask Russ to help my wife & I after
reading his testimonials. They were filled with pages of dreams for which
he had helped realize. They were inspiring!! I now find myself
contributing to this page or catalogue as it has now become.
Russ, Ryan & Del became our guardians through the process. It may seem
daunting if you're looking at the process & hurdles ahead if you're
contemplating the move over to Canada. My advice is to find someone you
can rely upon & trust to hold your hand through the maze. Russ called just
over a week ago giving us the news that we'd been waived interviews & that
all we need do now was to attend for our medicals. At the beginning Russ
made us a promise; A week ago he delivered. There are so many sharks out
there, of that I'm certain, who would be more than willing to take your
money & your dreams and make life difficult for your journey. Russ, Ryan &
Del offer a Rolls Royce journey: my wife & I hopped in & took a
comfortable ride to our Canada Permanent Residency. I can vouch for &
fully endorse their services. My wife & I are both doctors in the UK. We
found it difficult to commit too much time to dealing with the necessary
paperwork. Russ & Co. took care of that for which we'll always be
grateful.
If you're in two minds about taking on Russ as your representative just
drop me an email & I'll be more than happy to tell you about how he helped
us. In addition, you'll find Russ to be an exceptionally happy choppy.
Bottom line: if Russ takes you on, you'll more than likely get your PR!!

A few words for AI: The story so
far...
When my friend Claire first
recommended Russell and AI 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. 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 themselves. 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
AI 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. Don’t 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. On the AI website though I found 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.
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 one month of my application
being submitted through AI 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 AI
for her residency application and I will always be grateful to Claire for
recommending AI. Take this testimonial as your greatest friend if you
are currently considering making Canada your home and consult AI first.
I am truly and deeply grateful to both Russell and Delphine for their
assistance, friendship, and understanding, and for restoring my hope and
faith that my dream will be realised. I cannot recommend them enough.
May your dreams also be realised.
Kind regards,

Hi There,
Well if your reading this I'm guessing that
you are considering moving to Canada …great choice!
Hi
My name is Tom Murray and I'm from Mauchline in Scotland. My wife (Rachel)
and I decided to immigrate to Canada during the Summer of 2003.
Our friends had already immigrated to Canada. Taking their advice we decided to hire the services of a
professional. Now being Scottish I am naturally suspicious of:
1. Any business that asks for money up front.
2. and "guarantees" success... that’s just not how life works.
I must have been on dozens of websites and contacted at least ten firms
asking for details. Out of the firms that did manage to reply next day
none would help me with even the most basic questions without a fee. The
whole experience of spending literally days on the internet, asking for
advice, not receiving any and in some cases receiving advice I knew to be
wrong made me so fed up I decided to process the application myself.
We even attended seminars in Glasgow held by companies that took £45.00
for telling us things that you can obtain from Avatar at the press of a
button on their web page
Is this ringing any bells with anyone?
Now I am only going to give the reader two bits of advice.
1. DO NOT PROCESS THE APPLICATION YOURSELF.
I spent three months putting our application together. I honestly thought
our application was bullet proof. We just scraped in on points, but still
met the requirement. I was two days away from posting the application away
when I happened upon the Avatar web page. What's this? a company that does
not ask for the whole fee up front, and has a fee that is reasonable.
(I had a British Columbia based lawyer ask for $6,700 USD and a UK
based consultant ask for £3500 GBP).
After calling Russ we decided to send our application to him "just to
be safe and have it checked over". Russ managed to show us where we had
missed some points and helped raise our score by 9%. More importantly he
discovered some serious flaws in the application. These would have almost
certainly have resulted in our application failing and the loss of our
fees.
Through out the preparation of the application Russ, Ryan and Del
always encouraged us to the point where we stopped thinking of them as
businessmen and started thinking of them as friends. Emails were often
followed up by phone calls despite the 8 hour time difference and the
whole process was just so reassuring and pain free that I must have been
mad to think of going it alone. 12 weeks later we had our file number, no
problems.
To be honest my family and I were a
little discouraged as the times at the CIC office just seemed to be going up and up.
According to the website, on March 2006 they were processing 80% of
cases in 43 months.
So you can
imagine we were stunned and delighted when Russ called us to say we had to
go for our medicals and more importantly had an Interview Waiver in only
20 months.
We were absolutely astounded it took this quick and I'm sure
that it was entirely down to Russ and his team's enthusiasm, drive and
professionalism.
Our case was processed in 50% less time
than we thought, You can't ask for more than that!! Russ will also put you
in touch with people (like me) who have gone through the experience, so
you see we are real and do exist (lol)
I guess my second bit of advice is that before you consider signing up
with another immigration company call or email Russ, Ryan or Del. Put them
to the test. I don't think you will be disappointed. My wife and I
dreamed of going to Canada for many a year, Avatar caught those dreams and
turned them into reality, I like to think of them as our Dreamcatchers.
Kind Regards and Good Luck!!

Hi Russ,
Here is my story for anyone in the US given the new challenges with
regard to employers being fined and the attendant uproar over the issuance
of Visas to foreign workers.
Anyone would think that obtaining a Master's Degree in the US would be
the end of all one's problems. They were the beginning of mine. Absurd as
it may sound many firms do not want to go thru the hassles of processing
an H1B Visa and was distraught at not being able to stay for longer than
one year after my graduation. Yes, I would have to leave the country
actually!

Over Half a Million People Jammed the Streets of Downtown
Los Angeles on Saturday, in Opposition to Proposed Legislation
on Illegal Immigration..
According to official estimates, the number of undocumented people grew
from 8.4 million in 2000 to 12 million today
So, with a Masters Degree in hand and just one year left to live in the
US, I was desperately searching for a solution, when a friend mentioned
Russell and AI. I am now grateful to Divine inspiration that our paths
crossed. Del was so patient and meticulous and always had a word or two of
