 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was recommended to Parulben by one of my work colleague and I consider myself very fortunate as a client. The most I liked about her is her honesty towards the case since mine was having a bit of a complication , but it was managed seamlessly. Also the team working in the background was very corporative and helped me make the process very smooth. The only thing I did was provide documents to the team with the fees and all the rest was taken care by her and her team. I used PCVC's consultancy not just for my Permanent Residency application.. but also my PNP and my Work Permit extension under IRCC policy. I found myself successful after using all the services and also I am very satisfied with parulben's knowledge towards immigration as a whole. I won't have a second though recommending PCVC to my friends or anyone else.
