A Professional Corporation
At this unprecedented time in our lives, well perhaps excepting those 570,000 or so centenarians that were alive during the Spanish Flu, the daily flow of information is dispiriting and overwhelmingly negative. Fortunately, here at Bellissimo Law Group PC, we are continuing to operate thanks to our technical abilities that allow us to work remotely and yet remain in constant contact with our clients and staff. We remain just a phone call or email away.
We are very proud of our staff that despite the challenges we are all currently facing, we have maintained our regular business hours and continue to serve our clients while doing our best to keep our staff safe during this time. In turn, we remain focused on advancing our client matters as well as speaking with new clients daily.
To this end, at Bellissimo Law Group PC, we will do our utmost to communicate the breaking news to keep you informed about the latest Canadian immigration updates. We continue our work each day and recognize this may be an essential time where individuals require assistance on an immigration matter or an opportunity for some to consider options a few months down the road. There will be an inevitable rush of those needing services once the world resumes full international and domestic movement. If you are in a position to do so, this is a good time to explore those plans and any immigration options for you and/or your family. Either way, feel confident that you can reach out to us. Please read some of my other blogs on this topic, including:
Thank you for reading and wishing you and your loved one’s health and strength during this time.
