New Beginnings Immigration Services is an independent Canadian immigration consultancy operating out of Calgary and offers opportunities to foreign nationals looking to work, study, visit, travel or live permanently in the country. This independent consultancy has a mission “to make Canadian Immigration easy to access for everyone and to deliver sound, reliable and thorough immigration advice and assistance by simplifying the immigration process for qualified clients and their families.” They further go on to say that it is their duty to deliver “a holistic, professional approach and continually improve [their] services to meet the highest standards [to] fully satisfy clients.”



The person in charge of handling their Canadian immigration services is Mary Ann Go, a member of the ICCRC and also a Commissioner of Oath and paralegal. Being an immigrant herself, Ms. Go understands the immigration process firsthand and has apparently witnessed the struggles and hassles that newcomers face. Mary Ann Go has not only completed and passed the Immigration Consultant Certificate Program (#R508947) she is also authorized by Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
 

As previously mentioned, the website is refreshingly straightforward and user-friendly. They have provided all of the necessary information on the website with extra tabs such as an FAQ and a ‘Living in Canada’ page which introduces the immigrant to the other aspects of immigration process as well as other useful links to get better acquainted with Canadian life. New Beginnings have not included terms and conditions or privacy policy on the site. We were thoroughly impressed by the candid approach this consultancy takes – no fancy enticing words, no sugar-coating, just an honest representation of who they are and what they do. Their main focus is to “help people start a new life” and in doing so, “deliver sound, reliable and thorough immigration advice and assistance by simplifying the immigration process for qualified clients and their families.” Their services extend to assisting immigrants to obtain temporary visas such as study, work, and visitor as well as the permanent options which include skilled worker and family visas. New Beginnings has provided a list of affiliated bodies they work in coalition with to make the process easier. These affiliates are as follows:
