Client Stories. Review of an Immigration Consultation with a Complex Case
Moving as a geologist: Our clients shared their detailed feedback and story of how they are preparing for immigration to Canada.
Immigrating to Canada requires considerable effort. Even after researching all the information on your own, you might still make mistakes that could cost you money, time, and energy. It's best to consult experts who can assess your specific situation and explain suitable paths to permanent residency. Booking a consultation with an immigration company could be a crucial step that brings you significantly closer to your goal.
Our company, Reeboot Your Life Immigration Services Corp., provides visa and immigration support from the moment you contact us until your arrival in Canada. Our licensed specialists will evaluate your chances of obtaining permanent residency, develop an optimal immigration strategy, and assist you with document preparation.
First and foremost, we recommend booking an initial consultation. We'll assess your situation, answer your questions, and explain in detail the immigration options suitable for you.
Below is a review of a consultation with our lead expert, Ivanna Pavlenko:
"We had been considering moving to Canada for a long time, watching YouTube videos about the country from those who had already moved there, and particularly seeking comments from various immigration consultants. Among others, we came across videos from the Immigrant.Today YouTube channel, where we learned about Ivanna and her challenging journey of moving to Canada.
Initially, Canada seemed like a distant, vague dream — a fairy-tale-like, almost unattainable island from fishermen's tales, accessible only to the strongest and smartest. However, the more we learned about the country and how to move there, the clearer our dream became, and the ways to achieve it seemed more realistic and desirable. It was particularly shocking to realize that our combined salary as highly qualified specialists in challenging conditions (the salary of two geologists doing fieldwork) didn't even match the salary of a single food service worker in Canada.
Gradually, our main steps became clearer, but there were still challenges. Our profession, geology, is a rather specialized field. Even in resource-rich Russia, few people have a clear understanding of a geologist's work. In the Russian-speaking community, we didn't come across stories of geologists emigrating beyond CIS countries. This seems to be due to both the small number of such cases and the fact that the few emigrated geologists don't talk about it, considering it of little interest to others.
On the Immigrant.Today channel, we learned that people move with even more complex cases, which gave us hope. After taking a free assessment on their website and studying the materials in more detail, we discovered that it was also possible to move with our background. After this realization, we decided to take action.
We found rotational work without breaks between shifts and spent two years non-stop in remote corners of the Far East to save money for emigration. During this time, many well-known major events occurred, which, to put it mildly, made us look at our values and plans differently, but more importantly, pushed us to start the immigration process as soon as possible.
After two years in small villages amidst forests and swamps, sitting on a stack of dollars (still thinner than if a food service worker in Canada had saved their salary), we had few obstacles left — learning English and gathering documents. At this point, we became more interested in the fact that the Pavlenko family are agents for ILAC language school, which offers online classes with Canadian teachers, and the cost of these classes was favorably different from other similar offers in terms of the cost per hour of study. This could help us with language learning.
Regarding gathering necessary documents, clarifying the most unclear questions, and choosing our strategy — we definitely needed an experienced perspective and sound advice. We decided to book a consultation with Ivanna. It took place online via Zoom.
We really enjoyed it; the communication was very pleasant, and the information received was clear and structured. planned the consultation time, allowing us to discuss everything we wanted, even despite the electricity going out and coming back on several times during the consultation, forcing us to switch between laptop and phone.
During the consultation, Ivanna, among other things, determined the code for our profession according to the Canadian classification. We discussed the responsibilities for it, identified the main relocation program where our chances might be higher, and she advised us on the main steps we should take before starting the document preparation process. This helped us outline an approximate immigration path and its possible duration in our specific case.
After the consultation, Ivanna sent us a detailed report listing the immigration programs that might suit our case, including provincial programs, as well as examples of some documents we need to prepare.
Now we're closer to the beginning of this challenging journey, but we have a clear idea of where to start and how to proceed. Although the saying "moving to Canada is a marathon, not a sprint" quite accurately reflects reality, we're convinced of the correctness of our endeavors, know what to do, and of course, we want to say a big thank you to Ivanna in particular and the Immigrant.Today team as a whole!"
