After my wife’s visa was approved, my daughter’s and my own visas were also granted. Many thanks to Mr. Shekarian and his excellent team, who were always available and responsive to us.

The best guidance I received during my immigration process came from Dr. Shekarian. After my own visa was approved in just 1.5 months and my wife’s in only 3 weeks, I truly understood the difference between a strong case and a weak one, especially at a time when immigration applications often took up to a year for a decision.

After two years, we finally received a positive decision on our permanent residency application through the Startup Visa program last week. I’m truly glad we made the right choice in signing with Mr. Shekarian’s law firm and Bay&Co, managed by Ms. Miran, whose persistence, thoroughness, and attention to detail—often greater than our own—ensured that our PR case was approved with minimal obstacles. Of course, this is just the beginning of a new chapter for us in Canada, and we hope to soon celebrate the next milestones of our business with the continued support of Mr. Shekarian and his team.
