True, real and verifiable opinion from our clients
First, I was so surprised that getting PR in Australia can be so difficult and complex issue for a skilled professional, as I am. I applied for 482 visa with my employer’s migration agent. Soon, it appeared that the agent applied for a wrong visa (!). He thought that my profession was on the long-term strategic skills list but it was on a short term list, and he didn’t check it. Next, he informed me that I have no chances for PR in the future, which was damaging. I spoke to the other two agents and they told me the same. Finally, my friend recommended Piotr and that’s how I met Piotr. Every dollar spent on his service was worth it. Piotr knows all the regional and practical intricacies and his experience is huge. He suggested two scenarios which can lead to PR and now I am on the right path to get PR in the next four years.

Also feel free to share and use the footage …maybe just credit the guys who made it but it’s fine to use!
Chloe and I would like to thank the whole team at Pacific Centre for the completion of our Permanent Resident applications.
Piotr is extremly knowledgeable and a 30 minute appointment with him was equilavent to weeks and weeks of googling information that I didn’t really understand! When I left the initial consultation I had a clear path of my options to make my dream of permanently staying in Australia come true.
Once we decided to go through with the application, payment was made easy by being split into several installments. The guys and girls managing all my paperwork were on it from the start and it is really true that the quicker you get all your information to them, the quicker they can work their magic.
The online system makes it very, very easy to upload and update any information you need to.
Using an agent really negates a large amount of the stress involved in processes like this and the team at Pacific really know their stuff, even in the ever changing world of immigration rules they were first to keep me updated throughout the whole process. Even during an unexpected extended stay overseas that I had to make, Piotr was avaliable to advise me of what moves to make and what I needed to do.
Thank you to everyone involved at Pacific for the succesfull completion of our Permanent Residencies! Ian and Chloe Wilson
