I reached out to Jane Katkova & Associates on the recommendation of a family friend and did not regret it. After an excellent consultation on parental immigration, Jane Katkova and Carina Podcoritov treated our case with the utmost care. The discussion and the information provided were very clear; the process was well organized and without any delay. Jane Katkova's legal knowledge, sharp insights, level of diligence & confidence, and determination have made our case successful. Jane runs her firm with a closet of solutions and hopes for people who need help. Needless to say, it wasn't easy at times, but Carina's professional, legal, proactive, effective, technical and organizational approach has made our work with Jane Katkova & Associates a wonderful experience. Carina was completely dedicated to helping us achieve excellent results. She was very kind, responsive, hard-working, and attentive to details. Any questions were always answered promptly and in a timely manner. Carina provided guidance and moral support. She is a person with great integrity, talent, and people skills. I express my deepest and endless gratitude and appreciation to Jane Katkova & Associates for a wonderful experience. It is a great team that works for the result. We couldn't have done it without you, Jane and Carina. Many thanks indeed for the work done! I highly recommend Jane Katkova & Associates to anyone who needs an immigration lawyer you can trust.

Jane Katkova and Associates provided fantastic services. Despite having a 14 hour time difference, Jane's team were always accessible and very quick to respond. Krikor was our case manager and was very attentive and thorough. We are very happy with their services. We were worried the process would have been very stressful and difficult but with their aid, we had a very good experience with Canadian Immigration and a very positive outcome.

I have been in Canada since 2013 trying to get a Canadian PR. I have dealt with several lawyers, who all promised to assist me with getting a status for myself and my wife, but all lawyers failed. I was referred to Jane Katkova by a Canadian friend, when all hopes were gone. It took Jane less than 2 years and fighting for my wife and myself to complete the file. Now my application is approved. I will be eternally grateful to this company. Thank you Jane for honesty and readiness to fight for us and thank you Carina for always being there to answer our questions. Jane Katkova & Associates is highly recommended.
