Why Choose Pathway to Canada

Pathway to Canada Immigration will assess your particular needs, provide you with individual attention, and carefully prepare your applications.

Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants are people who offer advice or assistance for various immigration applications. Immigration Consultants are specialists in Canadian immigration law who can assist you through the complicated process of obtaining a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) in order to hire a Temporary Foreign Worker.

If you choose to consult an immigration representative to act on your behalf with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) or the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA), make sure he/she is regulated through the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC). Non-authorized representatives or advisers are not regulated.

Suzanne Russo

Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant and Paralegal

Suzanne Russo is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC), Paralegal and the Director of Pathway to Canada Immigration Inc. Suzanne was born in England and grew up in the small community of Gibsons, British Columbia. From there she moved over to Vancouver Island to achieve her Bachelors of Arts (Social Science) from the University of Victoria in 2000. Following a year of working in the hotel industry in Cornwall, England she returned to British Columbia to pursue her Paralegal Diploma from Capilano University in North Vancouver, graduating in 2004. Following her educational pursuits, she worked as a Real Estate Paralegal in the Lower Mainland for 17 years. Growing tired of becoming trapped in the politics of working in large, downtown law firms, she decided to change her path to build on her existing legal skills but to incorporate something she has always been passionate about – helping regular people. The above-noted experience lead her to her current as role as a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant. Her lust for life and deep interest in the cultural patchwork that makes up our planet is why she will dedicate her time and energy to her clients whether it be a simple application for a student visa or a complicated family application for refugee status. She looks forward to helping you immigrate to Canada and exploring the most expedient and effective avenues to assist you with everything from qualifying to sponsor your spouse to entering or remaining in Canada or overcoming an element in your past which may complicate the immigration process.

This means that they may not have adequate knowledge or training. It also means you cannot seek help from the professional bodies if that person provides you with the wrong advice or behaves in an unprofessional way. The Government of Canada will not deal with non-authorized representatives who charge a fee for their services.

We are an alternative to using employment agencies or third party recruiters. We have the authority and licensing to file immigration applications for foreign workers through Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. Do not be fooled by overseas agents, otherwise known as “ghost consultants”. These “agents” are illegal, and are offering you a dream in exchange for fee, which often never materializes.

The Pathway team has been great! I was incredibly stressed about the process in the beginning but they stayed professional and reassuring the whole way through the application process. Just got my notice of PR status today! And will definitely be using them in the future should we decide to pursue citizenship.

Kelsey

We considered 4 different groups last year to assist us in this endeavor. Thankfully we agreed to engage Pathway to Canada and there is NO doubt the others would have never done as much heavy lifting as this group has. It is an understatement to say ours was a complicated one. Because we traveled extensively we had to deal with issues that most generally would not deal with and the Pathway to Canada did magnificently given our unique circumstances.

Pat & Janet

This company is run by excellent people who have always been there to help me with any questions and issues I have had. They are well versed in all the legal aspects and always had answers for everything. They are willing to go far beyond what they need to do. This was proved beyond a doubt when the pandemic caught me outside Canada without my permanent residence process completed. They helped me to work with Immigration to get back into the country and even found a wonderful hotel near my parents' home where i could spend my 15 day quarantine. Throughout the process, the pandemic, and numerous delays, they kept me up-to-date on everything that was happening. And now I am very happy to say that I have now received approval of my Permanent Residence in Canada. I am sure that without them, this would have been a much longer and more troubled process.

Cristina

I have only good things to say about Pathway to Canada. They are transparent and open, hardworking, quick and communicative, supportive and reassuring throughout the entire process. If you have concerns, they will address them quickly and thoughtfully and help you to feel fully seen and supported through what can often be a difficult process and waiting period. You get to know them personally and they will have open brainstorming discussions with you to come up with a plan that is best suited for your situation / most likely to be approved. They supported me in bringing my husband (from Uganda) to Canada and the whole process from application submission to him arriving took less than 8 months.

The world of Canadian Permanent Visas is an ever-changing labyrinth of endless paperwork and obstacles to be overcome, needless to say we could not have done it without the amazing Pathway team! It has been a long road but we are so grateful for their guidance, caring service, thousands of questions answered, and hand-holding throughout this entire process. Their professionalism and warmth helped ease our worried minds when waiting was hard, but all we really had to do was wait, they did all the hard labour for us and we are so indescribably grateful. If it hadn't been for them we would have given up long ago! Thank you a million times over!

Amanda A.

The team at Pathway are absolutely incredible! they always answer in a really short period of time, they are always really prepared and are able to suggest their clients the best options for them in order to stay/come to Canada. Without them, maybe me and my family would not even be here! We could not ask for anything better! We truly recommend this place for all those people like us that are seeking a way to become part of this great country!

I have known the Pathway team since 2014. I got my permanent residency and then filed for my citizenship through this company. In both cases the process went so smoothly and I got approved ahead of the scheduled time. I have dealt with a few of the Pathway team members, they are rock stars. Very professional, pleasant and knowledgeable.
