Appearances in the Media:
I was extremely impressed with everything. I wanted to leave this comment to give special thanks to my lawyer, Meera. From the beginning to the end of my PR process, she patiently answered all my questions instantly. She was very friendly in every meeting. She managed my whole process perfectly with his knowledge and professionalism. Someone you would really want to work with. I highly recommend Clivio Law Firm and I would like to express my endless thanks to Meera once again.
I am extremely satisfied with Clivio’s services. Ever since the beginning, of our process me and my husband were in different countries, me in Canada and him in El Salvador. And I went to Meera, our lawyer, to get assistance on applying for our PR as well as to get my husband to come to Canada sooner, for us to reunite.
Both Meera and Cecy, her assistant (who speaks Spanish btw!) have gone above and beyond to help us since we began the process to apply for our Permanent Residence in 2020.
