    First of all we are thankful and really appreciate Peerless work to help us to get Grandparents Visa for Newzealand. First time when I met with Mr Prateek, I was very impressed the way he welcomed me in his office and he explained me all the terms and conditions to get Visa. He is humble and down to the earth person, though I was having different doubts and questions but Mr.Prateek cleared all one by one. After few days one officer assigned to me by Mr. Prateek who is going to deal/help me to prepare all the documents for the submission to get Visa in Newzealand Embassy and she was Ms.Kriti. She is very efficient in her work, she was always available to clear my doubts and questions. Before submission of visa documents she assured herself about the requirements of all papers. She has given us full regards and respect 🙏 all the time. We highly recommend Peerless Service's services. Once again thank you so much PIS. May God bless you all.

    Prateek and Kriti were great!! Prateek took time initially to explain the entire PR process and made sure that I know what my to-dos are before starting anything. They were extremely responsive, and Kriti was assigned to my case- she was always available for a chat and has a keen attention to detail. Loved working with them!

    My interaction with Peerless Immigration Services was wonderful. I got my Canadian Tourist Visa approved within 2 weeks. Initially, I wasn’t confident, but after getting their information through a Google search and speaking with the team about the Canada Tourist Visa, I felt completely confident that I had chosen the right team. They answered all of my questions in great detail, and my case processing officer, Ms. Kriti, also assisted me throughout the process. I greatly value the efforts of the Peerless team and encourage anyone looking for immigration support to sign up for their top-notch services.
