Law Office of Vanessa Routley

Vanessa was knowledgeable, patient, and informative during all the times we met. We discussed various options to immigrate to Canada and we had basically decided on the route we wanted to take. I had a couple of follow up questions that I sent via email and I never heard back other than we were told she was out sick for a week. I followed up a couple of times over the course of a month but received no answer. I understand and respect that the firm has a right to choose who they take on as a client but it would have been nice to have received some sort of notice that they did not want to work with us so we could have not wasted that month waiting on a reply.

Vanessa is the best of the best. I can say that with confidence given my experience working with lawyers before her. Prior to meeting with Vanessa, immigration felt incredibly overwhelming and complex but she broke things down in a thorough yet simple manner that put us at ease. She is very well versed with a ton of experience.I've now worked with Vanessa for two separate immigration related matters over the past year. With her, the whole process felt incredibly personable like we had another person on our team. Vanessa was also very quick to get things done which made the whole process much easier for me. Vanessa really valued my comfortability throughout the process. She was sympathetic with my partner and I during some emotional and hard situations but always gave us direct advice and help with making tough decisions.Prior to working with Vanessa I had a completely different experience with other lawyers. Multiple had their introduction meetings feel like a business interview; it just never felt like they were fully on our side. I eventually hired one of these lawyers who did a great sales pitch, but after that first consult became very distant. She only answered by email, and constantly gave me non-answers as I attempted to get clarifications while filling out important applications. This made something that should have taken a few weeks take six months. During this time, I found Vanessa and ended up speaking to her for advice on something I was already paying another lawyer for!Overall, I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone who needs a lawyer. Working with Vanessa and her team felt like having a family friend call in a favor to get the best help. She's incredibly attentive, knowledgeable, and professional. I've been in Canada from the US for over a year now and Im so grateful for reaching out to Vanessa and working with her.

Vanessa and her team is extremely good at their job . She is knowledgeable and very professional. Always prompt to respond to queries and helpful with the paperwork . She makes the whole process of immigration easy to understand and helps you in the best possible way . I would highly recommend her law firm to anyone who is looking for hassle free and smooth immigration .

SHE IS A FRAUD !!! Yesterday, on the 25th of January, my husband and I paid for an appointment with her that had already been scheduled for almost 1 month. the day before the interview, her secretary called me trying to cancel the appointment and refund my money saying that we didn't qualify. Well, I asked to keep the appointment because we wanted to know the reason and what would be the next steps for a future qualification. she came in via zoom, she was extremely rude to me and my husband and after 10 minutes of consultation, she turned off the zoom in our faces. We were extremely disappointed with her attitude. she before hanging up the phone said she didn't need our money and would give it back. well today in the morning confident an email that she will not return our money and blocked our phone, did not participate anymore call her. she was the most characterless person I've ever met in my life. Very sad, I don't wish this bad experience to you.

Mrs Routley is amazing! Her and her team are very professional and knowledgeable. Mrs Routley has a solution for any situation or circumstances. She knows so much about immigration, she will always find a way and never let you down! Although I had a bit of a complicated case, I got my Canadian work permit approved in no time. Not only a great attorney, but also a great person. If you are looking for any assistance, do not look any further. She is the best!

I contacted Vanessa after living stranded in the US for 10 years. I came into the USA as an F1 Student and married a US citizen after graduation. All efforts to adjust my status was unsuccessful. I was stranded and Tired. I wanted something different. I contacted other Canadian lawyers and they suggested I go back to my home country.I contacted Vanessa and she was willing to help me. We put in my first application for Study Permit and it got denied because of my USA situation. I was devastated . Vanessa brought in another attorney(Paulina) and we fought the denial through an appeal with the Federal Court. We won the appeal. It was the most liberating experience in my life.Vanessa prepped me on preparing for my move to Canada. She called and checked in on me regularly.I crossed the USA - Canada border on a Sunday. I was held up at the border for 2 hours, they refused to let me into Canada. They assumed I didn't have the correct document. Which was an oversight on their part. Vanessa was on the line with me, fighting for me. She never left my side. She involved the justice department and the media until I was eventually allowed to come in.My story is one of grit, perseverance and resilience. I believe in the power of supreme being (God) and I mostly believe in God sending us helpers on our journey through life. My helper is Vanessa. For as long as I live, I do not think I can ever forget this experience with working with Vanessa, Paulina and the whole team.Eternally Grateful,D

I'm Brazilian living in Florida, with my tourist visa expired.I consulted with several renowned specialists in Brazil and all of them told me that it would be impossible to get a visa for Canada with my status in the USA.Vanessa did the impossible by getting a work visa for me and my wife.I will always be grateful for what she did.

I reached out to the Law office of Vanessa Routley after googling about top lawyers in Manitoba and her firm came up, sure enough I wasn't disappointed after contacting them about my situation around August 2020.After explaining my situation, she was concise in what was needed to be done in order to get my Permanent Residency so I am able to stay in Canada with my wife and 3 kitties. They were immediately and incredibly responsive, and almost instantly made me feel that I was dealing with professionals who cared about my case.The people I worked with stuck with me through the whole process, answering any questions and assuaging any fears that I had about the process, my application, or what I needed to do. Even when my anxiety made me really scared they handled my case with professionalism and compassion. Immigration is a stressful, scary process, it was even more scary because Covid was on the high which made the process much more longer than usual. I wanted professionals who knew the ins-and-outs so that I had the best chance of being able to remain in Canada.And now, I get to stay in Canada with my partner without fear. I would absolutely recommend this service to anyone who wants immigration help! A big thank you to everyone who helped me in the process.I also wanna wish them all the best in their future endeavors so they are able to help more people achieve their dreams of staying in Canada.

Hello to my community,If you are thinking of taking the step forward and contact Ms. Vanessa and Ms. Lisa for your immigration issues, I can confidently tell you that she is your best option. Lawyers and many people who have failed the process or are misinformed will tell you that immigrating to Canada is impossible. Well, it is not, because I just did it. My application was accepted in two days after biometrics. Lisa and Vanessa were both very professional and to the point. All my emails and questions were answered in a timely manner with respect and clarity. With that being said, however, it is not the application process that is hard (Since Vanessa and Lisa make that easy) but the steps you need to take to become ready for the application. Do not go in from an spontaneous urge to get out of your country and look for the fastest cheapest way to immigrate. As bad as your situation is, plan ahead and maximize your chances. Inform yourself, save up and if necessary, go get a post-secondary education. But most importantly, do not blame the lawyer if the process doesn't work out. You can rest assured that Vanessa and Lisa did the best application as possible and if you actively took the steps necessary and maximized your chances, then the only one to blame is this system and the messed up circumstances that lead our community to this point. Attacking any person for your misfortunes or misdoings is unacceptable. Become someone you can be proud of and a role model to your community and children. If you are unsure about moving forward, let me assure you that stagnation is worse than having your application denied and losing money. Find the courage and discipline to advance. I hope this review helps someone. Much love to Vanessa and Lisa for everything! You are figuratively and literally the best!

I want to say Thank you" to Vanessa and her team for their help and support
