Originally from South Africa, Matkowsky assisted us with our Canadian Permanent Residency applications (Express Entry) and also our recent Canadian Citizenship applications. I can wholeheartedly recommend them to any prospective immigrant to Canada.

I am pleased to say that Matkowsky Immigration Law and Amanda Mitchell specifically made my application for a I-192 waiver from the CBA branch of the Homeland Security Agency come to fruition! Although the application process can be done on a DIY basis, the intricacy of the process makes the process prone to failure for a host of reasons. Therefore, I felt employing the talents of Matkowsky Immigration Law was in my best interests to ensure I would be able to enter the USA so that I could attend my granddaughter's upcoming wedding. Amanda walked me through the process of the application every step of the way and I now have my I-192 waiver, good for a period of 5 years. Thank you Amanda! Regards, Garth Wheeler Surrey, BC Canada

Nuestra familia está muy agradecida con los servicios legales de inmigración que la compañía de John Matkowsky nos ha brindado para poder ingresar a Canadá. Sin la ayuda de John Matkowsky no hubiéramos podido lograr nuestro objetivo de obtener la visa de mi hija, mi esposa y mi persona para así poder disfrutar de este maravilloso e increíble país. Él se ha comportado de manera muy profesional y se involucró directamente en nuestro caso para poder tener éxito. Nuestras más apreciadas y sinceras gracias.

Had a great experience with Natalie with the PR process, she knows what she's doing and I am sure I would have struggled to have it without her help. She's also very responsive, 100% would recommend

I highly recommend Natalie Domazet and Matkowsky Immigration Law firm for all your immigration applications. My father's visit visa application was refused multiple times and I wasted so much time and money in either applying myself or consulting with other immigration consultants. But luckily I found out about Matkowsky Immigration Law firm. I am very grateful to Natalie Domazet for the way she prepared and submitted my father's Super Visa application and then something unexpected happened. My father's Super Visa application got approved. Thank you very much Natalie!

They are the best in their industry. I had a complex case of immigration but they handled my case very well professionally and with positive results. I am thankful to Ms. Sonia, Ms. Natalie and Ms. Oshani who handled my entire case. I recommend them to anyone who is in need. They are committed to the positive results.

I dont normally give reviews but I really want to express how grateful and happy I am with Natalie Domazet's professionalism, caring, support, extensive knowledge and superior litigation skills after getting my IAD appeal allowed but even more remarkable is that historically the IAD had no jurisdiction to hear an appeal on misrepresentation before sponsorship until 2022 when the Federal Court of Canada wisely interpreted the IRPA and created jurisprudence going forward. Natalie's diligence, experience and commitment articulated the Federal Court's decision and demonstrated for the very first time to the IAD that these sponsorships based on H&C grounds had total jurisdiction for appeals under the IAD. I am not a lawyer but I believe Natalie set IAD case law for future complex sponsorships. Not for nothing Natalie told me that she would give 100% after taking my appeal. She gave 200%. I would also like to thank Sonia for her previous submissions and presented evidence to the post office, it helped guiding the IAD member's decision. I will always recommend Matkowsky law even for straight forward applications; when it comes to deal with the IRCC it is always best to have the peace of mind that legal and dedicated professionals are behind you and Matkowsky is worth it!

Kriti of Matkowsky Immigration Law is a life saver, She is very professional, effective and efficient. Matkowsky gave me hope when I almost surrender to immigration process. They got my complicated application approved. If you are looking to hire a reputable and reliable firm for any immigration purposes don't look further MIL firm is your guy. I want to use this opportunity to say thank you to Kriti and the firm for everything.

I so adore the work that this law firm is doing. Amanda Mitchell is a complete definition of a professional, shows a lot of respect, and diligence to her clients as well as does her work expertly. Even if this didn't go well for me, I would have commended and recommended her strongly. But you know, as hardworking as they are, they don't comeback without results. Thank you very much Amanda, may God bless you.

Matkowsky Firm is simply where everyone should consult with. Five star is not enough for their level of professionalism. Natalie saved my wife application after we received a PFL. I was in a precarious situation as I was not even sure what a PFL was. In the midst of turmoil, I googled and noticed that a PFL was serious and that my application was about to be refused if I don’t respond to certain questions. My google search landed on this firm. The first review I read was about Natalie and how she handled from some PFL so well. I immediately booked a session with her and she guided me in the process. She was with me in every step of the way: responding to my emails and text promptly. Her level of commitment and professionalism was unspeakable. To cut long story short, the application went smoothly. Natalie was so great. Thank you Natalie for the job you do. I will recommend you and firm to everyone who needs help.

I had the pleasure of working with Sam Zimmerman and I found him outstanding. Sam was always prompt, responsive and highly ethical. His main focus was on helping us deal with IRCC rather than to generate revenue or increase billed hours. Consult this guy if you need immigration advice

Fantastic team and very responsive and helpful to get my brother-in-law study permit even through judicial review without any major issues. Would highly recommend them for complicated cases

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to Matkowsky Immigration Law for their assistance in our visa applications. It was not an easy journey because our visas were rejected in the beginning, but Matkowsky Immigration Law handled the situation professionally. They knew very well what should be done next after our applications were rejected. They provided us the options available and they suggested which is the best. The team at Matkowsky Immigration Law are incredibly knowledgeable, responsive and dedicated to make every application get approved successfully. I highly recommend them for any Immigration Service!

John was very helpful. He responded in time. Suggested the best solution to the problem. I really appreciate the response and Advice. Thank you so much.

I recently worked with Matkowsky Immigration Law for my permanent residency application, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. The team at Matkowsky Immigration Law was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and responsive throughout the entire process. They took the time to understand our unique situation and provided clear guidance and support every step of the way. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, my permanent residency application was completed successfully and she received her permanent residency status in a timely manner. The team at Matkowsky Immigration Law made what could have been a very stressful and confusing process straightforward and stress-free. I highly recommend Matkowsky Immigration Law to anyone in need of immigration legal services. They truly went above and beyond to help us achieve our immigration goals, and we are so grateful for their assistance. Thank you, Matkowsky Immigration Law!

I would like to thank Katherine and Sonia for their efforts to response on my Procedural fairness letter. It is approved in 21 days after submitting the PFL letter specials thanks to Katherine for all the hard work!

So good service ..reply instantly with all details which I ask ..?? Glad to see like this kind of institution…really appreciate… thanx more than 5 star

Gina you is the best lawyer that I have ever met. Strongly recommend her.

Wow, I don't know what words to say to express my experience working with Matkowsky Immigration Law. I wish I could give you guys more stars because you are the best Immigration law firm. I will not forget the feeling I had after consulting with Sam Zimmerman on July 27, 2022. At the time, I was so confused and living in fear because I thought my life was over. But Sam spoke to me so calmly and God used him to show me there was light at the end of the my dark tunnel. My case was complex because I had been refused PR in May 28, 2021 on the grounds that my Canadian work experience was classified as being self employed. By July 25, 2022 my BOWP had expired on February 3, 2022. My attempt to remain in status by applying for an open work permit and later study permit were all refused. When I spoke with Sam Zimmerman, IRCC had just refused my study permit and asked me to leave the country. I was so devastated. But Sam calmly explained my options to me. He even taught me how to interpret and check up sections in the IRPA/R to understand certain things with immigration. To cut the long story, he worked with me and handed my visitors restoration record to Matthew Aki, and my status was restored in a month and few days. Then came the PR part, Sam just asked me to bring back my Canadian work experience in my Express Entry profile and he took over the case and prepared such a great case. My PR application was submitted on October 13, 2022 and I was approved on January 19, , 2023. It wasn't an easy journey but I am grateful for the outstanding work put in by Matthew Aki in the visitor's restoration application and by Sam Zimmerman in the PR application. All I know is that Matkowsky law firm is the best. I even referred them to my friend and they helped secure a 1 year visitor's visa extension for her mun as she is a nurse practioner who needs childcare with her kids. I have also referred 2 other persons to them and will continue to do so. Thank you so much Matthew Aki, thank you soooooo muuuuuuccccch Sam Zimmerman. , you're a real professional who knows how to handle your clients. You know how to calm their nerves let them know what options are available for them, then suggest the best one. I don't even know how to explain who you're as a person. But I perceive in my spirit that you're a good person with a good heart, an angel who God used to bless me. May you continue to excel in all of your life pursuits, you will always be a star and your light shall continue to shine so bright. Thank you Matkowsky Immigration Law!

I love you

I contacted John Matkowsky for my cousin's Temporary Work Permit in May 2022. He received his visas in December 2022. My experience with Matkowsky was amazing. I highly recommend them and fees are as outline in their website - nothing extra was charged. Recommending them for any Immigration Service!!

I had a complex case, but this firm worked diligently to present the strongest response to my PFL possible. Do not hesitate to contact this firm. They are absolutely amazing! Thank you!!

Working with matkowsky was a beautiful experience. They were very friendly, professional and honest, and I am very grateful to them and to God for all the positive results in my sponsorship process, they are totally efficient and fast. In addition, Mrs. Gupta was a first class lawyer, her professionalism and efficiency is excellent, as is each of the lawyers who work in the firm. They really deserve a 10/10. Highly recommended.

My experience with the matkowsky was amazing and I received a positive result on my file. My file was too complex but they handled it perfectly. I can just say that nobody can beat them. I recommend everyone to go there if their files are complex.

I rarely give reviews, but I must for what Matkowsky Immigration Law have done for me. They are high professional, knowledgeable and friendly. They have helped me and I will certainly have to use them again if I need to.

An enormous and tremendous thank you to Sonia, John, Gina, Kriti and the whole team at Matkowsky!! Thanks to them, I am finally a Permanent Resident of Canada!! I had a complicated case as I had gaps in my studies and little time to apply for my applications, but Gina and Kriti went out of their way and made sure everything was submitted on time! Their final submission letters are a work of art due to their immense knowledge of the legal process. I found the whole process to be straightforward and easy because of their professionalism, organization, and efficiency. I will definitely be reaching out to them again for future applications!! Once again, it is with heart-felt gratitude that I thank you all for your very hard work!

I have literally no words to express my sincere gratitude and tons of thank to an amazing team at Matkowsky law firm. My Permanent Resident (PR) application was at a great risk of getting rejected because I was deemed inadmissible due to an error committed. I reached out to Natalie first and she introduced me to Katherine Filewych, who was my primary lawyer. Katherine is amazing, exceptionally professional, super organized and very quick at responding to emails. She assisted me to prepare a long response letter to IRCC citing why I should get another chance to reside in Canada with my husband. The way she carried out her tasks and worked on everything extremely meticulously provided me with a great sense of hope that IRCC's decision would be overturned. And yes yayya! the decision was overturned and currently I am a PR. This journey would never have been possible had I not been in touch with the most able hands and team at Matowsky firm. Once again my sincere thanks goes to Katherine, Natalie, Sam, and everyone at Matowsky. I strongly recommend individuals dealing with the tough and complicated immigration related issues to touch base with Matowsky frim. I bet they will find the most suitable way to get the things done.

My wife saw the Matowski law firm online. She booked appointment with them and spoke with John, and informed me of all our concerns before we contracted them, John made us know he will handle it. Trust me they did just as they promised , Matkowski team handled my spousal application above and beyond expectation. WITHOUT AN EXTRA CHARGE They are detailed and thorough with their job. Are you looking for a competent and reliable immigration law firm that can handle ALL your immigration case? Then look no further. As I have tried them and they did a great job for me 99%. Special thanks goes to Kriti for her patience and Sonia for her powerful defense letters.

After four refusals of my study permit application, I turned to Matkowsky for help. In China, many students gave up in this situation and very few of us know there could be a turn around story. Natalie suggested that a judicial review will help and Shameika worked with it in the past 6 months. Now I have arrived Vancouver and started studying there. Words failed to express how amazing it was. Thank you the team of Matkowsky for the professional service. Adding my timeline here: 3 months to get notes after JR started, settlement received a few days after application of records filed. It took approx 1mo to get the case reopened, and 3 days to get it approved after SP updates submitted.

I can't be more thankful to Boris, Gina & Sonia. My sister's study permit was refused after 3 months of processing for a vague reason. I have status in Canada, and I reached out to MIL to assist my sister with her study permit application. They were extremely professional and thorough with their submission letter, addressing all points for a refusal. Boris was knowledgeable, and he always found the answer to our trickiest questions. Her re-application was approved in under a month, and she has reached Canada now. If you want an immigration lawyer, reach out to this firm. They will be handling all my family's future immigration/visa applications. 100% recommended.

Matkowsky is one of the best immigration firm in Canada. Such a great experience I have with Matkowsky firm. Thanks so much to Katherine, Natalie & Sonia for my sponsorship application which got approved so quick and without any issues. Katherine I cannot thank you enough- throughout the application process you took care of each every single details which resulted got approved by IRCC so fast. Highly recommend Matkowsky firm for any immigration matter. They are very professional, responsive - simply excellent! Thank you so much!

Excellent service. Throughout our sponsorship application, Kriti Gupta was extremely helpful and very professional. always available and responded extremely fast to any question or concerns that our family had. We are really thankful to Kriti for her hard work, dedication and expertise. She was a pleasure to work with throughout our application. We highly recommend her for any immigration service. Thank you so much Matkowsky Immigration Law, and Sonia Kriti Gupta

My experience with Matkowsky Immigration Law was nothing short of amazing. Natalie Domazet is one of the most kind and caring person I have ever met. We initially heard about Natalie through the other many positive reviews. We had our initial consultation, Natalie immediately put us at ease. Her extensive knowledge and impressive education/work background was present just within that short time. During all of our time working together it continued to shine. Her professionalism and hard-working attitude was visible immediately and continued during the entirety of our time together. But her compassion, kindness, and caring nature really helped us with the entire process. After spending so much time together on our case, and getting to know each other, it was almost as if she was a part of the family. Natalie truly was a help to my spouse and I emotionally as well, she was always there to put our mind at ease and comfort us during the most difficult experience of our entire life. I feel as if I could never truly repay Natalie for all her hard work, dedication and support during this time and giving us the opportunity to start our life together. If ever an occasion would arise that we need an immigration lawyer again, I will definitely be using Matkowsky Immigration Law, and would forever recommend Natalie Domazet.

We engaged Matkowsky Immigration Law because we had a very difficult time sensitive visa requirement involving our granddaughter and her mother. Their knowledge, patience and careful planning helped ensure our success. We highly recommend their firm.

I’ve been dealing with Natalie for the past 5 years, if there was anyone dedicated to her job I would say Natalie is the epitome of someone who will go fight on your behalf and she does it with full belief and preparation for a successful outcome, while in my own particular case COVID and the lengthy time that CIC took to make a decision, frustration and expense on my part made me decide to end the pursuit of a study visa for my daughter as she started school elsewhere, Natalie did what she set out to do and my daughter was finally granted her permit, I would 1000% recommended Natalie to anyone that is in need of her services, Thank you Natalie, I hope your firm knows that they have an exceptional Lawyer on their team.

It was an excellent experience dealing with the team at Matkowsky Law. Katherine went above and beyond with utmost professionalism and she delivered great results. Parents had a rejection before but she had IRCC turn the results around. Thank you so much Matkowsky Law team. We will continue to deal with their firm for the rest of our lives.. :) :)

La mejor firma , profesionales eficientes conocimientos y actualización e. Materia de inmigración, soporte y asesoramiento rápido y eficiente , feliz de haberlos elegido gracias por su soporte y profesionalismo , lo logramos !!!

Matkowsky Immigration Law has processed our visa with immense professional approach and have been able to get visa for us which was denied earlier when we applied on our own. Thanks again to Katherine and her team.

My initial PGWP was denied because I had a study gap. (Missed 1 semester). I was overwhelmed and didn’t know how to go about it. So I decided to Google some immigration law firms. Matkowsky popped up, and I went through the reviews. The positive reviews gave me the confidence and hope I needed. We submitted the application and it got approved. A big thank you to Nima Chooback who worked tirelessly on my case. Not forgetting Sonia and the entire team. 10/10 for sure!!!

I started working with Matkowsky Immigration Law earlier this year and from the initial intake call up to my recent visa approval; they have been nothing but supportive and very encouraging throughout the whole process. I was assigned to Mr. Simardone by Madame You with regards to my application. Madame You & Mr. Simardone were always ready to reply to my questions through emails in a prompt and professional manner. I was told how to & what to do with regards to the visa application process ahead of time & was always provided alternatives if I could not fulfil requests promptly. I strongly recommend Matkowsky Immigration Law to any and all persons regarding any Visa application concerning Canada.

It's been great working with your experienced team members, from Aqsa to Yasmin on my student visa application. Yes, it's been approved and I am very grateful for your assistance, patience and time. Thank you Yasmin for your quick responses and prompt delivery. I will recommend you any time.

If you are looking at which law firm to go with for your visa applications or concerns, I would highly recommend Matkowsky law firm. They helped me with my study permit concern. Choosing to proceed with a lawyer and approaching Matkowsky Law Firm was one of the best decisions I made. I applied for a study permit to do Masters in Canada. One day I got my Original Passport Request from IRCC. I was so happy, but after 30 minutes, I also got a rejection letter with a generic reason. This was devastating as my status also changed to refused. I was completely shattered. This situation was entirely confusing. When I was wondering what to do next, I came across Matkowsky Law firm on google. I read their reviews and I had an initial consultation with Ms. Gina. She gave me good input on what to do next. I proceeded with my case with the help of Ms. Katherine Filewych with a Judicial Review. She took care of the entire process, clarified all my doubts and worries, and always replied to all the emails I sent during the entire process. I could move on with other things in life when she was taking care of this issue. In a month, I got a letter from IRCC stating that one of their agents had made a mistake in declaring my result and it will be re-evaluated by another agent. The next day I got my Original Passport Request, and my visa also got stamped. I still cannot believe that we got the resolution for my study permit this early. I will forever be thankful to Katherine and Gina for their effort in getting me my visa. Thanks to their entire team and the entire firm for recommending the most effective method to proceed with my case and helping to resolve it this soon. The work that they put in is tremendous.

Highly recommended... We finally got our student visa approval thanks to Matkowsky Immigration Law, specially thanks to sonia and also Jasmine who answer all my inquiries. My case was a challenging as i was in a dental field and want to change into a new career, also m a mature student and with a weak hometies, but you help me arrange my sop to make it direct to the point. Thank you so much and more power to your teams.

If you ever dreamed or have plans on moving to Canada to work or study, and you are absolutely clueless on where to start or you have tried and we’re denied then, I look no further i beg you to employ the services of @matklosky immigration services, they most some of the most seasoned professionals in the business. Using me own case as a case study all the odds where really stacked against me, but by the time Natalie was done reviewing my situation and deployed the strategy we were going to use, not long we saw changes she chased down every lead until my application was approved, I want to use this medium to say a very big thank you to the entire team, you guys are the best and I definitely going to retain your services from this day and always, chess to the best team ever. Best Regards AVI

I had such great experience with Matkowsky Immigration. Amanat Sandhu is very professional, expert in immigration, efficient and very thorough. She is very helpful, open and would patiently address all my concerns. I strongly recommend Matkowsky Immigration and Amanat!

I strongly recommend Matkowsky team, they helped my daughter- in law and son via Common-law sponsorship, the process was seamless and very professional, she got her work permit in 2 months and Permanent Residency approval in 5 months

Very professional team, we are very pleased with the help we received. Our case was handled quickly and professionally. My partner got a PR Thank you very much Alex and Jerry

A Big Thank You Thank You Thank you. This Firm did Absolutely Amazing work for my PGP Application PFL response. I dealt with Sam Zimmerman for almost one year for our back-and-forth email for PFL response. He was on top of it and indeed very knowledgeable. Sam was also quick to response and call back if I had any questions Initially I spoke with John then he assigned my case to Sam. Thank you, Sam, Thank you, John, Thank you, Sonia. Thank you to all who work hard at Matkowsky Law Firm.

Highly recommend them! Cannot thank Natalie Sahibi enough for the work she did on my family's visitor visas. I had to do a judicial review after the initial rejection, she went above and beyond at every step of the way. Special SO to Katherine Filewych as well--she is very helpful and extremely quick to answer any questions.

Hi, this is Davinder from India. I have a son who's pursuing computer science from a Canadian Uni, came to back to India to visit us in January of 2021. For some reason he couldnt go back when we were expecting him to, his study permit and visa got expired. His visa got rejected two times and that is when we made contact with Ms Amanda Mitchell, she took responsibility for every kind of work, be it paper work or legal work. She's always been so patien with listening to all our problems and made everything crystal clear about what she expected from us and how was the flow going to be. She was thoroughly active to respond us and address all our queries within no time.We finally got the visa and we've sent him now. Commendable professionalism.
