Reviews of Hansen & Company (Notary Public)

J Sherwood

There was an extreme lack of communication, responsibility, and care throughout the entire process. Our paralegal Jaspreet would have information requests from the government for weeks without providing it to us, and would still take multiple more to forward the emails after calling and asking after seeing the update on the immigration Canada website. These always had deadlines to receive the requested information by. Jaspreet had sent the wrong information in multiple times. He would send the same (old) documents instead of the updated documents that had been requested, and provided to them. This delayed the application processing time. We had met with Gary to discuss the issues we were having with Jaspreet with no resolution, or apology. Jaspreet continued to be on our case, and submit wrong information. There has been no acknowledgement, or apology. I have requested to speak with Gary again on these concerns with no response from him, but from his bookkeeper Tina, who was very rude and informed me that Gary is very busy, and cannot call me to discuss concerns as if I am not a paying client. They took 5 months to submit our spousal sponsorship application even though we had provided all information asked for. I definitely advise staying away from this company as my case was neglected in the hands of Jaspreet who clearly didn't know what he was doing. they make more mistakes than they will take accountability for.

LIN CHEN

I appreciate their professional service. The company really help me a lot and give their response effectively. Even though I had several issues during the application, the company figure it out and deal with all of them from their professional perspective. If someone need recommendation, I will recommend Hansen and Company for sure!

Sika Antonio

I have worked with Hansen and Co Solicitors since 2013 and have had a great experience dealing with immigration. The team are all professional and have the experience to get you your desired results. I would definately work with them again and again. Very satisfied

Mubbasher Mukhtar

It is a great place... Everyone was very friendly specially Eric Kim helped me a lot... I had to get my Power of Attorney notarized and need some information from Consulate of Korea in Vancouver. Since, I don't speak Korean and can't read/write... Eric helped me a lot in figuring out how to get those documents stamped from the Consulate. I never expected so much help... Things smoothly worked out for me.

Raffael Schmid

Very happy with the services provided. While the immigration itself went smooth (super important for a family), the preparation needed for it was not as transparent as I'd wish for.

Zirely León

This company is the best in Calgary, the staff is very nice and friendly. They provide a good guidance during all the immigration process and they are very professionalism. I highly recommend their services.

Fact Man

I wish I could give him no stars! Made an appointment to discuss an important issue with regards to my wife's citizenship application. Not only did he lack knowledge about one of the most important aspects of immigration law, he had nothing substantial to say. Whatever he said, I was able to research on the internet the night before. Instead he tried to tick the clock forward by telling me that despite being an immigrant, I spoke great English. Please avoid him or his firm if you do not want to waste your hard-earned money.

Fatemeh Sharifi

They provide everything you need for police clearance fingerprint. They can notary the fingerprint which is embossed seal (mohr barjasteh) for some foreign countries. The staff are also helpful.

ImChan Jung

(Translated) I commissioned the work several times with the secretary of Eric, who works here, and it was satisfactorily conducted every time I worked, so I highly recommend it because I have faith and trust in the work. Of course, the price is also very reasonable. (Original) 이곳에서 일하시는 에릭 사무장님과 여러차례 일을 의뢰하여 진행하였고, 일을 할때마다 만족 스럽게 진행 되어져서 일에 대한 믿고음과 신뢰가 있어 강력 추천 합니다. 물론 가격도 매우 합리적 입니다.

Henrique Alejandro Camejo Fandiño

Since I arrived in Canada, Hansen & Company has helped me in all my decisions about emigration, I recommend Hanse & Company for several reasons: 1) .- They are Organized and the high sense of Responsibility 2) .- Experience in immigration matters. 3) .- Personalized Advice. 4) .- They have a high percentage cases winner Thank you Hansen & company and Juan Blanco (he is the best paralegal we have never met alarm he helped with the translation when we was on meeting), so they help us a lot.

Robert Stanley

I've had Hansen & Company prepare my US waiver (I-192) application several times over the past 12 years. Each application has been prepared in a professional and methodical manner, with any problems in the preparation work being addressed quickly by senior staff or Gary. The US government has never had a concern or question about the applications I submit to them that are prepare by Hansen & Company. I have no hesitation about continuing to use Hansen & Company in the future.

Rene Rai

Me and my husband used the services of Gary and his team for our E2 Visa application. The process went very smoothly and they assisted us in creating an application that was complete and accurate, making sure all the forms were filled out properly and that we had enough supporting documents to compliment our application. Throughout the process they were quick to reply to all of our emails and answer all of the questions that we had. I highly recommend using their services, it was well worth it to have the feeling of assurance and to make sure we are doing everything right. We are extremely satisfied with the services provided to us.

Arlen Speakman

I had worked with another lawyers office in the past. They were very deceitful, they misinformed and caused a lot of stress and money. I did not feel that way at all with Hansen and company. I worked with Jaspreet and Gary on my visa application. They were thorough and gave very good advice through the application and process. I was applying for an E-2 visa to the USA. (Approved!!!) I would highly recommend using them for any services they provide. If they are able to help you, they will.

Darwin Gerber

Professional and informed. Provided good service for residency applications. I would definitely work with them again.

Katie Rudolf

I used Hansen & Company as I needed to get some documents notarized for a job abroad. Mia was very helpful in receiving the documents, and setting up an appointment on short notice. The notary was able to answer my questions and prepare the documents quickly. I think I was in and out in about 15 minutes which was exactly what I needed. I would recommend Hansen & Company for anyone who needs anything notarized easily and efficiently.

Adeline Sprague

The pandemic caused chaos and lengthy delays in communication and executing US legal matters from Canada. Hanson became our Calgary-based hub providing legal advice, handling communication, and driving administration execution between us and our US business partners, authorities and reporting bodies. We could not have conducted business so effectively without Hanson. Because of the Hanson team we also avoided unwarranted fees, prevented lingering legal matters and closed on activities as efficiently as possible with the US'' reduced capacities and capabilities. Thank you Hanson Team!

ji-hoon Hwang

Hansen and Company helped me when I sold and purchased my house last year. Their legal service was very prompt and professional. I would like to thank to Eric Kim and strongly recommend their service for sure. it was great!

Jonathan Lee

Eric Kim was very helpful!

ma xiao

this company is unbelievable. they continue to disturb me wanting me to take off my Google reviews which I said all truth. A consultant LIED to me saying we reach an agreement what what. I swear she lied about that. An immigration consultant lies to others about a fact. You will know how unprofessional they are. They emailed me and called me and disturbed me and brought so much trouble for me after I paid all my fees which I paid for nothing and should not pay for. They ruined my day!!!!

This process was long process, the lawyers here at Hansen & Company were there to support us and guide us every step of the way. I am thankful and I have much gratitude as these group of lawyers have had a vey positive impact on my family’s case of obtaining Permanent Residency. With this first step I will be able to attend school and pursue my goal of becoming a Canadian athlete some day. To Hansen and Company I say thank you, for all your hard work and dedication towards my case.

Peter Frei

Hansen and Company prepared my TN application and did an awesome job! Would highly recommend their services.

Marshall Huwe

Resirkulere has used Gary and his team for several years and they have always been very responsive and helpful with our immigration requirements for our staff working abroad. I would highly recommend them.

OSCAR NAVARRO

Hansen & Company, helped us for our paperwork and formalities, they have a great and professional staff and especially the spanish costumer service.

diana bach

Very good service. We got power of entity in less than half an hour

Tillie Wiebe

I have used Hansen & Company 3 times now for my US Waiver applications. The service they provided was efficient, they explained everything in detail and answered any questions I had. I would definitely recommend them.

Mohamed Noordeen

Hansen and Company provided immigration legal assistance for one of my family members. They went above and beyond to deliver success and we couldn’t be more grateful for their hard work. Omar was our lawyer and he was a delight to deal with; always kind and helpful. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hansen and Company to anyone seeking legal assistance.

gustavo eduardo negrete gonzalez

Had a great experience with, they managed my immigration application, and everything went well. Good service quick and very friendly and personal attention.

Aaron B

Excellent service and very accommodating with schedules and patient with questions. Did a will, power of attorney and personal directive for my wife and myself and was able to complete moat of it in an afternoon and a quick meeting.

Adrian K

AVOID THIS COMPANY! I had a horrible experience with them as well as many others. I phoned them for a consultation, paid up front, and then spoke on the phone for 1 hour. I am very detailed orientated, and had all my documents and information prepared before the phone call. I took detailed notes on everything he said. After following his advice, it turns out that he provided me the wrong advice and information, wasting my time and money. By following his advice, my applications were rejected. After phoning 2 other lawyers, it turns out that what he told me was a direct lie. After I phoned him back, his secretary would put my call through to talk to him, so emailed them and after a few emails back and forth... he went back on what he initially said. So clearly he does not care about clients, does not have the experience or knowledge to help anyone. It was a waste of $1,000 and waste of my time.

Jesse Rhodes

I emigrated from the US and just became a Canadian citizen, and I couldn't have done it without Hansen & Company. They always had good advice, they were easy to get in touch with, and they were able to adjust to changes in my status and needs with no trouble. I recommend them to all of my immigrant friends!

Jack Rhee

I hire this firm when I bought by house and I'm very satisfied their service, especially Korean staff there. He has explained me in great detail and has provided me with useful informations and I think this firm will help me a lot in the future.

Jeremy

They did a fantastic job helping me get my TN Visa. I was told exactly what was need for the application, they reviewed the material that I provided and provided feedback to make sure that nothing was missing. They communicated well and stayed on top of things and made the process easy. They removed any uncertainty that i had about the process and provided guidance on how it would go the first time that I went into the US and applied for the visa. If you need a TN or similar, I recommend Hansen & Company.

(Translated) I visited hansen & company about 7 years ago. As a business owner, I needed the help of an attorney's office whenever I was selling or buying a business and hiring and firing employees. Whenever that happens, hansen & company has been my practical help, and now it is a necessary place for my immigration life. As for me who lacked English, the help of Korean staff was absolute, and the legal judgment of an experienced and caring lawyer would be the reason to leave my work to this lawyer's office in the future. (Original) 내가 hansen & company를 찾은 것은 지금으로부터 7년 전 쯤이다. 비지니스를 하고 있는 나로써는 사업체를 팔고 살때 그리고 직원을 채용하고 해고 할 때 마다 변호사 사무실의 도움이 필요했다. 그럴때 마다 hansen & company는 나의 실질적인 도움이 되었고 지금은 나의 이민생활에 꼭 필요한 장소가 되었다. 영어가 부족한 나로써는 한국인 직원의 도움이 절대적이었으며 경험많고 자상한 변호사님의 법률적 판단은 앞으로도 나를 이 변호사사무실에 나의 일을 맡길 이유일 것이다.

Gary has been my attorney for my American work visas since 2009. He knows his stuff and has a capable staff behind him. He also works late hours to get the job done for you.

Paola León

They were very responsive and always willing to answer all of my questions. Highly recommended!!

Florencia Ingui Wellness Coach

I am extremely happy with their services. I hired them after searching reviews and contacting some of the reviewers because I had bad experiences in the past loosing money, tears, dreams but the worst, loosing time. I hired them from Argentina without meeting them in person so that was part of the challenge. Hansen has all the experience as an expertise in his area but Juan Blanco,his personal assistant, is one of the kindest and most professional person I’ve ever had the chance to work with. They always tell us what could happen up front and how they will solve anything that might come. In the middle of the process some laws changed and they adapted and new exactly how to overcome the news. They charged exactly what they told me at first. Even that some new work was needed to be done they charge us fairly. Our family is reunited after 15 years and my daughter studying in Montreal and that’s thanks to the work they have done. Having a lawyer and a team that you can trust is priceless.

Super good customer service! Thank you!

Quick & friendly service for Commissioner of Oaths

Patricia Zyrinn de Guzman

They assisted me with my immigration papers and they processed my papers smoothly. I was doing monthly payments on my retainer and I wanted to double check how much my balance was. This became such an ordeal and at one point whoever was in charge of the finance department, gave me attitude for trying to contact him to get more information. Other than that, everything went well.

Hansen & Company was the best company to get the best result in immigration service.Base on my canada immigration case.They were very good ,considerate and understanding,specially Eric Kim,Omar Khan helped me a lot until PR landing. I really recommend their service to anyone.

It worked! i'm Canadian now! From the beginning when I called around to immigration lawyers in Calgary and nobody had time to take me, these guys welcomed me right away. Always checking in with you. Great communication. Making sure you have all the paper works and info at all times. They know what they are doing and they have done an excellent job. I would highly recommend Hansen & Co.

I’m been using Hansen and company for many different legal services for the past 27 years, from my family’s immigration, wills and estate, to my friend’s real estate and corporate business. I’ve always had wonderful experience with them and I’m always impressed with their professional services. They are professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. Most importantly, Mr. Hansen is a person with great integrity, he is honest and truthful. I won’t hesitate to recommend Gary to anyone who need legal services.

Maria Eva Heigh

I am over the moon when I got the news that my PR has been approved in less than a year through Hansen and Company. There is quite a personal touch on how they handle case with their clients, their long expertise and professionalism shows all throughout the whole process considering there were massive challenges during the lockdown and the still ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. We greatly appreciate it most when Juan called us and ask how we were during the lockdown and giving us updates about our application. We truly felt they were very sincere in what they do, and gave us a lot of reassurance during those times. And if given the chance to do it all over again or maybe having future plans of immigration to other country, I would highly team up with the best! Thank you Hansen and Company for making our dreams come true. We are truly grateful for your hard work and support. Keep powering on and hope you all keep safe through these unpredecented times!

Nicky Sanders

Me and my family have been dealing with Gary Hansen and his team in Calgary for 6 years. We find Gary extremely knowledgeable and he has obtained the desired results for our family. We believe without his assistance my parents could have struggled gaining Permanent Residency. Gary is now assisting our other family members with there move from England to Canada. We will continue using Gary going forward for my parents to hopefully gain Citizenship and for myself to hopefully gain Permanent Residency. Gary is extremely friendly, helpful and makes himself available. If Gary cannot be reached at that moment in time he responds quickly. Gary is very flexible with his working hours, working long hours and making himself available to you. Gary is far superior to your average lawyer in our opinion. Gary treats you on a personal level and not like a number, his customer service is excellent and we have enjoyed getting to know him. We now consider Gary not just our lawyer but also a friend of the family, he is a fantastic gentleman. When Gary doesn't know the answer he will put in the effort to ensure he finds out. Gary is not afraid of taking on complicated cases and will assist when other lawyers will not. We are confident in Gary's ability and he does everything properly as you and IRCC would expect. We would not hesitate to recommend Gary Hansen (Hansen and Company in Calgary) to others who want a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer. Thank you Gary for all your hard work.

My husband and I have to thank all the people from Hansen & Company for their work with our case. Thank you Joseph, we now have our Permanent Residence. We recommend their service.

Hidetomo Fujii

I have been with this company for about 10 years. I have never had any problems. My permanent residence process so fast, even though there was a problem communicating with me and my employer. Whole process was done in 4 months. They helped me out so much for my Canadian citizenship case as well. I could get my citizenship with first try. Everything went good during the process again. I'm hoping to do my own business someday. I will have to hire foreigners for my business, and I will need some help for working visas, permanent resident, etc. I definitely will go see them again in a future. Thank you very much.

Kulwant Neogi

My family and I don’t have enough words to thank Hansen and Company, which has been most helpful us. After 11 years of trying to get the landed immigrant status with different lawyers with no success, I finally found Hansen & Co., who has displayed utmost professionalism, diligence, fairness and the most important, SUCCESS. Gary’s team members, Jaspreet and Kuan, who I have been mostly dealing with, are very friendly, knowledgeable and quick to respond. As far as I am concerned Gary and his team are the best lawyers in Canada and I am sticking with them forever.

Mike gocal

I recently used Hansen & Company to notarize several documents related to a U.S. real estate transaction and found their service to be excellent and fees fair and reasonable.

J Cho

They were very friendly and helpful. I strongly recommend their services and I would definitely work with them again.

miskie uto

Hansen and Company helped me to get my EI when my employer refused to give it to me. Not only I got my EI but also I got it plus an extra money because of the penalty that was put on the employer. For that reason they did a great job which I really appreciate. The case was not easy at all. They saved my reputation and I would like to thank Hansen & Company for what they have done for me. I would recommend Hansen and Company for anyone.

Chris Vadnais

Very happy with their service in getting my L1A work visa. A special thanks to Nivin for her hard work and determination in getting the amendment we needed after something was entered incorrectly. Strongly recommend them.

Angeline Gallivan

Beware of this scam artist. He charged us a total of $21,000 for a simple US waiver application. We were laughed at by the US border agents for having paid so much. The most they saw anyone pay for a lawyer to do this is only $2,000. We will definitely be suing him in court. I advise anyone who was scammed by him to go to the Calgary Court to ask the court to review his fees. The application fee at the court is only $100 and you can get a court order to recover any fees paid that he overcharged you for. He also gave us very bad advise. The worst experience we've ever had with a lawyer.

Gemma Lim

Jake Max

The worst immigration company. They create the wrong high CRS score to entice prospective clients. and they want to charge you for that in an absurd amount!!!!!!!!! Today, I went back to Hansen Company. they called the wrong Score as Human errors. and I paid 800 for nothing just put myself at ease. I bet they know how much they can get away with, probably they know the mentality of a foreigner. These are all my genuine feelings!!!! They asked me to delete the review after all. Also , these are all in my own perspective.

Lm

They where pretty efficient when I ask for my Working Holiday at first, then to follow other process, they were very irresponsible, they once asked me to go to Vancouver to a chilean consul right away to get some papers that they had to send in a period of 3 days.. Very rude staff, a very expensive service and the worst part, they don’t refund you if they lost your case.. They screw my case, because of them I lost a lot of opportunities, and then when i ask for my personal documents to see another lawyer, the guy told me that I had to pay the full amount first, even when because of their fault I lose that case, because their irresponsibility... DON’T DO YOUR PROCESS WITH THIS GUY IF YOU ARE THINKING IN STAY IN CANADA.

Paula Sejdic

I want to thank Juan Blanco and Gary Hansen for all your help in my process. Excellent service . 100% recomendent

fei pan

I cannot be more grateful to Gary and Nikola for their assistance with my PR application. My applicant was delayed by more than a year. I was so frustrated, so I reached out to Gary. He initialed an efficient and productive communication with IRCC and my applicant was then processed and approved within several days. I would highly recommend their legal service if you have problems with immigration applications.

Christopher O'Neill

I am very satisfied with the legal work done and look forward to business in the future.

Because lots of families and people are needing help from your company. Mia and Tina are working hard employees i never see. Thanks Guys. Keeping up the great work. Stay safe !!!

Dave Egner

BE CAREFUL. I am now adding additional information from Hansen & Company that further validates my review. Since the initial review, I have reached out to ask for a 50% refund. I felt this was a fair resolution for both. Hansen & Company rejected and informed me that the charges that I describe below for telling them how I found out about them is acceptable given it was only less than a minute. I don't believe it was less than a minute but how is it acceptable to charge ANY time for a question that benefits the firm charging YOU? If you are still with me, please read the previous review that I have written earlier to get an oversight of this firm's questionable behaviour. I am editing this post after recently reading the negative reviews of others on this review forum and I see, I am one of many people who feel this immigration lawyer performs questionable actions when charging clients. I recently required some confirmations on a permanent resident application for my wife's US immigration process. I called Hansen & Company in advance to learn the rules of engagement. As we all know, lawyers charge in six minute increments and time is billed accordingly. During the call with Mr. Hansen, I asked half a dozen questions and on two occasions, Mr. Hansen said he did not know the answers. He later followed up on one but allowed me to follow up the other. This was the first instance of what I believe was unprofessional service. I had hoped he would answer that question to confirm my follow up, but he did not. Through the call, my wife and I were under the impression that he tried to keep us on the line and even asked us who referred us to him in an effort to bill more time. This kind of petty behaviour annoyed me more than anything. I don't regularly enjoy paying a lawyer for the time to answer one of their questions. This could have easily been asked after the call by email. This was the second point that to me was unprofessional. What ultimately caused me to write this poor review is the way his office staff acted towards me when I later called them and asked for a confirmation of the question Mr. Hansen could not answer. I was told that this was not discussed and made to feel that I was inventing a story in an effort to obtain free advice. I don't normally go out of my way to smear a company or write poor reviews. I normally only write reviews for companies that provide great service. Most of the time, I can't be bothered to waste my time disparaging poor service. Despite the 4 and a half star rating that Hansen & Company have, I caution you to be very careful with them as rather than appease a client, they would rather insinuate that you are disingenuous and not holistically look for a fair resolution. In other words, once they have your money, good luck getting it back or getting anymore information out of them pertaining to your unanswered questions. I'm not going to sweat over the $215 we spent but I certainly will warn others when it comes to the way they like to run the clock. Very disappointing experience.

This company has an awesome service. They know the necessary documents that is needed by the immigration authority. They will guide you and once you provide the necessary documents, be sure of the results you are expecting.. They are very good, considerate and understanding. I recommend their service to anyone.

After I paid for the full service for $3000 at the beginning, I had a really hard time to contact them. They asked me to send email or phone the person to make appointment. However, my contact person hardly get back to me. I had to prepare all my LMIA document by myself. They did not even give me a document list. I had to visit the office every week to try to contact the person. Close to the my application deadline, they finally changed my contact person. They mailed my application on the last day of the deadline. My LMIA was rejected because of failure to repost the job advertisement. They never mentioned that to me or my company. I was treated horrible.

I have been dealing with Gary Hansen and Hansen and Company for 20 years. They have handled many versions of work Visas over 2 decades for myself, my family and many staff. Their professionalism is unparalleled and expertise invaluable. I highly recommend thier services and will continue to work with them for years to come. Wesley H.

Hansen and Company has handled our US E2B visa applications since we started our company in the US. They were well organized on what we needed and clarified any questions we had. They just recently prepared our application for our second renewal and everything went smoothly. Gary and Nivin were both great to work with.

Franck Zhou

(Translated) I am an old customer of Hansen & Company. It was ten years ago that I asked Mr. Gary Hansen for legal support. At that time, Gary gave me a very deep impression – a very integrity and experienced lawyer. Recently, I had difficulties with my mother' visitor visa. I went to Gary and asked him for help again. It is out of my expecting that not only my mother got the visa in three weeks after the application but also she got the visa valid for over four years. This miracle came from the legal support and endeavor of Gray and his staff Tina on scheming. I appreciate their help very much. And I hope they support my family further. 10 years ago, when I first immigrated to Canada, I approached Gary and asked him to provide legal help. I was very impressed. He is an honest and experienced lawyer who is willing to help people. Recently, I ran into difficulties regarding my old mother's visit visa. I still ask Gary to help me this time. With his help, a miracle happened. Not only did my mother get the visa within three weeks, but she also granted the visa valid for more than four years. Franck Zhou (Original) I am an old customer of Hansen & Company. It was ten years ago that I asked Mr. Gary Hansen for legal support. At that time, Gary gave me a very deep impression – a very integrity and experienced lawyer. Recently, I had difficulties with my mother’ visitor visa. I went to Gary and asked him for help again. It is out of my expecting that not only my mother got the visa in three weeks after the application but also she got the visa valid for over four years. This miracle came from the legal support and endeavor of Gray and his staff Tina on scheming. I appreciate their help very much. And I hope they support my family further. 我10年之前，刚移民到加拿大时，找过Gary，请他提供法律上的帮助。印象很深，他是一位正直而有经验的律师，愿意帮助人。最近，我遇到了困难，有关我老母亲的访问签证。这次我还是请Gary出面帮我。在他的帮助下，奇迹发生，我母亲不但在三个星期内拿到了签证，而且，给了签证有效期四年多。 Franck Zhou

I would not recommend dealing with this lawyer firm. I went in for a exploratory meeting in which I was told they needed to call somebody to confirm something in regards to my paperwork. After not hearing back from them for two weeks, I called them and told them I no longer needed their services since I did not receive a response in a timely matter. I got a call back 30 min later saying they could not do the application for me but they could go a different route. I previously had already told them I was not interested in doing my application that way. Two months after that I received a invoice for $1,300 for the supposed phone call on top of the $500 I already paid for the meeting. Be very careful to sign any documents they give you that they will hold against you as their retainer agreement and with that they will charge you without you being aware of it.

I would like to express my sincere thanks to Gary Hansen and Jaspreet Singh for their hard work in securing a Canadian Temporary Resident (Visitor) Visa for my friend. I found Gary and Jaspreet easy to deal with. Canadian Temporary Resident Visas are very difficult to obtain, however, Gary and Jaspreet were very thorough in their work. LOTS of paperwork had to be collected from my friend and I. Thank God we were able to get this done.

Wes Swanson

5 star review for Gary Hansen and his team. I had a very complicated US employment visa issue that required an expedited waiver of inadmissability from the Department of Homeland Security. Gary and his team were instrumental in securing me the required documentation so that I can now go work in the United States. Would not hesitate to recommend Hansen & Co for anything related to immigration law.

It was easy working with Jaspreet Singh, he was always available to answer questions and so was Gary. There was a successful outcome for my elderly mother's immigration case. Many, many thanks.

Marie Soluk

I cannot express enough gratitude for Gary Hansen and his wonderful staff. This is a top notch office that I would recommend to anyone making such a life changing decision. From the very beginning of our relationship, starting with Omar and his kind, respectful, and extremely prompt responses to our questions, concerns and follow up, then Jaspreet and Tina also taking over later on in the process with the same level of expertise, it was very comforting to know we could put all our trust in to this group with such an important task. Everyone, including Gary himself were available to us when we needed them. I couldn't have asked for better service and obviously a better outcome.

(Translated) We started to apply for a couple's reunion in Canada last year, prepared materials as required, and was approved on March 25 this year. In catching up with the epidemic, the government's work cannot be normalized. Passport and visas have not been resolved. I am anxiously waiting for the troublesome follow-up results from the law firm and patiently comfort me. I finally entered Canada smoothly in mid-October. A word of thank you is not enough. We are really lucky to find this law firm. (Original) 我们在去年开始申请在加拿大夫妻团聚，按照要求准备材料，在今年3月25日得到通过。赶上疫情，政府的工作不能常态化护照签证一直不能解决，焦急的等待律师楼不厌其烦的追踪结果和耐心的安慰我。我终于在10月中旬顺利入境加拿大。一句谢谢是远远不够的。我们真的很幸运找到这家律师楼。

Gary and Jaspreet, thank you so much for your professionalism and assistance with the residency application service for my wife. It's been quite a long process but it is finally complete!

Terry Petersen

I have had a fantastic experience with Gary Hanson and Eric kim. They assisted me with legal documents for both my Mother and Father for their Wills and various documents. Always a very fast turn around in times of stress or emergency and so helpful. I have also been able to refer other friends and family with great confidence. They are experts and professional in all matters.

We would just like to give plenty of thanks to Jaspreet and Gary for helping get a permanent residence card for my husband. They were very gracious and helpful. Wonderful to work with. Thanks again.

Sandra Whyte

I can't begin to thank Hansen & Company for all the assistance they gave me during a difficult time in my life. Nivin was very supportive and understanding with my situation and made me feel better about what was to happen next. Gary went over and above the call of duty, working over time to assist me with my situation. Excellent customer service was provided and would go to their firm again in a heart beat.

Doug Reeve

Gary & Jaspreet were excellent and professional in obtaining our E2 visa under extremely trying circumstances

Larry braun

I had Hansen and Company do the immigration for my wife and daughter from China. They had been living in United States for the past 10years. I am a Canadian. The paper work was very involved because of our conditions. Tina and Garry spent a lot of time doing our application. They done a very professional job. We were delighted to get the Resident Visa for both of them with no problems. Everything went yet smooth. We ran into problems when COVID-19 hit Canada and the USA. They went out of their way to get both the wife and daughter to Canada. Many hours were spent by them helping us out. I would highly recommend this company for any immigrant work. Very professional. Thanks again for everything.

Ambo Elemo

I had a really good experience. I have used their services for so long, they have excellent costumer service and I totally recommend them.

Chris Cowley

This company is incredible. Gary & Omar were easy to work with throughout my work permit application. They answered all questions easily and without hesitation, making the move to Canada as stress free and positive as possible. Can't thank them enough!

Justin Currie

During my E2 process I had an incompetent lawyer from a different firm whom I had to terminate my contract with. Gary and Nivin picked up my case at a very problematic and critical stage and helped with my interview preparation. The knowledge, communication and diligence in which my case was handled was extremely impressive. With my interview on a Monday morning, Gary and Nivin were calling at 7pm Friday night and Saturday morning ensuring my complete preparation. I would highly recommend Gary and his team.
