Funny thing about connecting flights to US is that one needs at least a visit visa from US to even get a connecting flight. It is highly advised against. Talking about flight, 14 hours is a really long time. On my way here, I tried sleeping in that

The topic has been covered by global media outlets such as BBC, Business Insider, Forbes and Bloomberg all in praises of their program and its social and economic impacts. According to Canadian Bar Association there were approximately 4000 registered consultants in Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants (CSIC) in 2017.
