I had a truly excellent experience with Bellissimo Immigration Law Group. Keely is knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly detail-oriented, and Mario brings a wealth of experience and insight. I was helping my son’s nanny navigate a very complex immigration situation. She had been living with us in Canada for three years when we began her permanent residency application. During the process, we discovered an issue with her original work permit application. While it was an honest mistake, we knew it could have serious implications and wanted to handle it carefully. We consulted several immigration lawyers, and most advised that it would be a difficult case. Many suggested submitting an explanation and hoping for the best. The Bellissimo team also acknowledged the challenges but recommended a different approach — applying on Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) grounds. Mario had experience with this path and believed it would give us a stronger chance of success. The application process was thorough and required a significant amount of work. Keely guided us every step of the way. In total, we submitted over 80 supporting documents, many beyond the basic requirements, to fully demonstrate our nanny’s life in Canada and her contributions to our family and community. Keely and Mario also prepared a comprehensive submission that tied everything together clearly and persuasively. Due to COVID backlogs and changes in immigration policies, the process took several years. Throughout that time, the Bellissimo team continued to check in and monitor our file — they truly don’t just submit and walk away, which we really appreciated. We are so happy to share that our nanny has now received her permanent residency. Looking back, I am convinced that their strategy, attention to detail, and dedication made all the difference. I would highly recommend Bellissimo Immigration Law Group, especially for anyone dealing with complex or non-straightforward immigration cases.

"When our spousal sponsorship was denied due to a large age gap, we felt judged and defeated. Bellissimo Law Group changed everything. Alexandra Goncharova and her team are absolute experts in these sensitive cases; they didn't just provide legal advice—they gave us our future back. Alexandra was meticulous, fearless, and prepared us so thoroughly that our refusal was successfully overturned. If you are facing a complex appeal where the odds seem stacked against you, Bellissimo is the firm you need, Highest recommendation!"

I am deeply grateful to Bellissimo Immigration Law Group PC for assisting me during one of the most challenging periods in my life. When all seemed lost and there was a very high possibility that I might have to leave Canada, they took on my case with such care, professionalism and expertise. They guided me through the federal appeal process with confidence and compassion and secured approval for my permanent status in Canada. As I have utilised other legal services before Bellissimo, I can assure you, where others fall short, they deliver.

Mario Bellissimo and Keely Anderson are outstanding professionals. I couldn’t recommend them more and would give 6 stars if I could. My experience with them demonstrated to me why they are so consistently and highly ranked by their peers. I am a New York Attorney and Australian lawyer myself so can be harder to please with legal related services than perhaps others, but this firm was exceptional. I was assisting a close friend with a Canadian visa application . From our first call with each of them they drilled down into the details of her case and gave more than the allocated time to truly understand the situation prior to providing advice. It was a complicated case and not unreasonably, they indicated the odds of success / failure of a successful visa application were even. But they assured us they would try their darndest to help ! Their experience was obvious and they imbued confidence in their knowledge of Visa law and procedures as well as how it practically operated within the IRCC. We had previously contacted three other immigration agents all of whom indicated that without misrepresentating the situation, the odds of my friend getting a visa were very low. A fourth lawyer we had spoken to had recommended an honest pathway to applying, but was very hazy on strategy. We did not feel comfortable with any of them. Bellísimo recommended we provide the IRCC with full disclosure and an explanation - which is how we proceeded. We then proceeded to comprehensively document the situation and received an extensive supporting legal advice to the IRCC from Bellísimo, which distilled the extensive evidence we were able to gather. Although we understood there were no guarantees as to success, with Bellísimo lawyers’ guidance we felt rest assured that we ultimately submitted the best possible application and were honest in doing so. Whilst initially I noted a discrepancy between the fees that the immigration agents charged and those that Bellísimo charged, there is no question that as lawyers, their fees were reasonable and the quality of the work they did was infinitely superior to those of the immigration agents. I definitively believe we got value for money and their fees were reasonable for the work and effort provided. Ultimately the application was successful. We were thrilled. We feel indebted to Keely and Mario for their assistance and unreservedly recommend them individually and their firm for outstanding immigration law advice.

I was referred to Bellissimo Law Group by my brother-in-law after my application was denied. The team carefully reviewed my GCMS notes, identified the issues, and recommended pursuing a judicial review. Thanks to their expertise and guidance, the outcome was positive. They later assisted me with the application, and I am now in Canada pursuing my studies. I am deeply grateful for their professionalism and support throughout this process, they respond immediately and give you the answers to your worries, this is the part that every applicant wants during the process of their application and Bellissimo law group have it. I will always recommend Bellissimo law group to anyone who has such problems. HAROLD

The Best Immigration Law Firm in Canada! We are forever grateful to Bellissimo Law Group for helping us achieve Permanent Residence in Canada. Our case was complex (so much so that other immigration professionals referred us directly to Mr. Mario Bellissimo, recognizing him as the top expert in the field). From our very first consultation with Mr. Mario Bellissimo, we felt supported and confident. He provided a clear, honest strategy, and we retained their services immediately. By the end of the process, everything played out exactly as he had initially outlined. We want to especially thank Lijing, Shuai, and all the other incredible team members who worked on our case and helped in any way (including David, Michelle, Michael, Justina and other support). Each one brought professionalism, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to our success. The legal team was always responsive, detail-oriented, and they genuinely cared about our situation. Bellissimo Law Group is more than a law firm: they are your strongest ally in ensuring a successful immigration application. If they take your case, your chances of success are high. Whether your case is complex or straightforward, do not see hiring their services as an expense. Instead, see it as one of the best investments you can make in your future and peace of mind. They truly are the best of the best, and we wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone navigating any immigration process in Canada. We are endlessly grateful to the entire team at Bellissimo Law Group!

We had a great experience with Bellissimo Immigration Law Group. We had a number of questions about medical admissibility for a study permit application, and Bellissimo seemed to have a lot of experience with medical issues. We scheduled a consultation, which was easy to set up. We got excellent and specific advice during our consultation with Keely Anderson, and at the end she encouraged us to apply on our own, as our case actually wasn't as complicated as I had feared. (I appreciated the honesty!) With the advice we received, we felt confident in our ability to complete the application on our own, and the study permit was approved.

If I could write poetry, I would have written a poem for Mr. Bellissimo. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Like others said, when you go into a consultation with Mr.Bellissimo and his team, you get real answers. Not guarded words. Not someone holding back until you hire them. Just sincere advice, shaped around what’s truly best for you. In our first meeting, he brought up that I might be eligible for Legal Aid — something no other lawyer had even mentioned. And in the second, he paused and really looked at the full picture of my life — my teenagers, our challenges, our future. He gave me advice that actually went against his own benefit. He thought like a parent. He thought like someone who genuinely cares. That kind of integrity is rare. I was so touched. Because in a world where most people lead with their own gain, he led with empathy and honesty. He truly put himself in my place — and guided me with heart. I am so touched and I am forever grateful for you Mr.Bellissimo. 💛

I am incredibly thankful and grateful for the outstanding support I received from Bellissimo Immigration Law Group PC. My journey with them includes two major Immigration challenges and their expertise helped me overcome both successfully. First case: Loss of Status in Canada. I lost my legal status in Canada 2019 and thanks to their guidance and dedication I was granted Permanent Residency under Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds, March 2023. Their team handled my case with professionalism, compassion and deep legal knowledge. Second Case: Refused Family Sponsorship (Dependent Child). My family sponsorship was refused November 2024 due to not meeting the Minimum Income Cut-Off. With their help I filed an appeal and it was successful, July 16, 2025! Now, I will soon be reunited with my child and I couldn't be more grateful. The entire team is highly skilled, approachable and truly committed to their clients. I salute their outstanding service and unwavering support. Based on my personal experience, I highly recommend Bellissimo Immigration Law Group PC to anyone facing immigration challenges especially those involving Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds. Special mention and heartfelt thanks to Ana Martinez, Alexandra Goncharova, Keely Anderson, Simran Sra and Mario Bellissimo. I am truly very satisfied with their service. Thank you, Bellissimo Immigration Law Group PC for helping me rebuild my life and reunite with my family. May God Bless You All!🙏
