We have found the personable Jeffrey Lowe of Lowe & Company to be extremely knowledgeable about Canadian immigration law and procedure as it applies to businesses, families and individuals. Mr. Lowe writes for law journals on Canadian immigration and often on how U.S. immigration laws impact clients on both sides of the border.

Working with Lowe & Company has been one of the great pleasures of my professional life. I have been practising law for nearly 20 years and have rarely had a more positive experience. Lowe & Company is not a law firm. It is a family. They are very competent, friendly and extremely honest. If I needed a lawyer, or a friend, Jeffrey Lowe would be one of the first people I would call. I refer anyone considering immigration to Canada to Lowe & Company, and have never had any referred client come back with anything more than rave reviews.

Jeffrey is one of the most entrepreneurial and innovative lawyers I've worked with. He has helped many of my corporate clients to obtain work permits and immigration for their employees, sometimes despite challenging background or language issues. Always upbeat, Jeffrey works through any obstacles. Even if he doesn't have the answer, he'll point me and my clients in the right direction.

For many years now, our firm has been referring Canadian immigration problems to Lowe & Company. We take our referrals seriously and appreciate the priority given to our clients or referrals, knowing they are being dealt with in the same way we like to treat our clients; with the highest ethics and a sincere concern for their welfare."

For our Seattle law firm, Jeffrey Lowe and his colleagues are always our first point of reference and contact whenever we have clients with Canadian immigration issues. They are thoroughly professional and knowledgeable. I have known Jeffrey personally for almost 25 years, and respect him as a lawyer and friend.

For more than 15 years, Jeffrey has handled work permits and other immigration matters for my corporate clients. He and his team have always served our clients efficiently and effectively. Since our firm focuses on business and technology, I appreciate how Jeffrey uses, as he puts it, the "convergence of business, technology and law" in his practice and inspires other counsel to do the same.

Lowe & Company personifies "excellence in service." The members of the team are all friendly, caring and above all, professional. Honest answers are always given and often creative solutions are thought out to facilitate challenging situations. I could not have asked to be in better hands on my journey to Canada!

Soon after I submitted my formal application under the PNP regional business category, I received an interview letter which addressed many concerns about my case. The concerns were quite complex, so I decided to speak to an experienced lawyer. Jeffrey Lowe went over my concerns and provided me with a lot of tips, but I realized that my case required a lot of work. He worked on my case, made it strong and prepared me for the interview. Jeffrey not only accepts challenges, but also works hard towards overcoming them. With all his help and preparation, my interview went successfully. I was nominated by the PNP department and received a work permit.

Jeffrey is not only an incredible immigration lawyer, but also a great business lawyer. He has guided me in all my business matters in Canada.

I wanted to transfer my business in the British film and television industry to British Columbia, Canada. Not an easy task by far, until I contacted Jeffrey Lowe. Lowe & Company suggested I set up the Canadian arm of my British business and make an intra-company transfer on a three-year work permit. I also applied for permanent residency, in the skilled worker class, at the Canadian High Commission in the UK. Once the work permit was granted, they fast-tracked that application and I became a permanent resident one year later. If I had waited in the UK, that application may have taken up to six years to be processed.

Not only does Lowe & Company understand the complexities of Canadian immigration law, they also have extensive knowledge of business practises and they were able to set up my incorporated company in a timely and very efficient manner. Once I arrived in Canada, I was able to start working immediately.

Another immigration firm in Toronto did my initial immigration application, but I didn’t hear anything for a couple of years. When I met Mr. Lowe, he explained to me in detail about the process I was likely to face and introduced to me another way to apply for my landed immigrant status and work permit. The immigration office approved my application with Lowe & Company in the minimal time available.

We wanted to immigrate to Canada, but faced many challenges. Lowe & Company helped us find a creative way to approach our situation. We never doubted their expertise. At every potential obstacle, they came up with a solution. They were always confident they could get the job done and walked us through step by step, fully supporting us the whole way. We never had to figure out, through trial and error, what Canada Immigration was looking for. We have now been accepted as permanent residents in Canada!

We were always impressed with Lowe & Company’s promptness. Any question, any time we needed to know something, we had a reply from them the same day. We also really valued that they charge based on their success. It was not an hourly rate, so we were free to contact them any time with any question. All our communication was done over the phone or e-mail. We could not travel to Vancouver and they assured us from the beginning that was not a problem.

In 1988, Jeffrey Lowe helped me become one of the youngest entrepreneur immigrants. I was 24. After trying his excellent services, I never used any other immigration consultants or lawyers. Jeffrey was the consultant for my travel business from the time he set it up in 1989 until I sold it to a large public firm for a very good price in 2000. He always provides professional knowledge and does a great job. When I work with Jeffrey, I feel he is not only a lawyer, but also a good friend.

I cannot say enough about Jeffrey and his team's professionalism, knowledge and understanding of Canadian immigration law. I recently discovered that I had lost my citizenship by virtue of marriage and immigration to the United States and was, in point of fact, stateless. I was part of that class sometimes referred to as "the Lost Canadians."

Jeffrey took on my case without question or reservation. He and his team -- Rita, Akiko, and Mariam -- worked tirelessly as my advocate and confidante. As technical hurdles arose, they dealt with them quickly and efficiently. They acted as sword and shield in dealing with Canadian Immigration authorities, making a process that seemed at times impossible, possible. Because of their work, I am once again a Canadian. And for that, I am in their debt.

The way Jeffrey and his team handled my situation speaks to their skill in the field. It cannot, however, convey the compassion and caring with which they embraced me and my case. For them, it became personal. And for that, they have my unmitigated respect and thanks.

You can always rely on Jeffrey Lowe and his team. They help you unload your troubles and worries. All you need to do is trust him completely.

As a member of the film industry, it recently came to my attention that there were certain potential tax and financing benefits associated with the production of a film I wrote that was to be shot in Canada. As an American, however, I rendered the otherwise all Canadian production ineligible for certain credits. The production was in peril.

Being vaguely aware of changes to the Canadian Immigration Act that came into effect on April 17, 2009, and based on the fact that my mother was a Canadian citizen, I reached out to Jeffrey Lowe. He listened, understood -- I believe he has a brother in film -- and took it upon himself to assist me in acquiring my citizenship certificate and passport.

His team was thorough, professional, and moved with the speed necessary to get me the documents required to facilitate funding for the film. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jeffrey and his team to anyone in need of Canadian-American cross-border immigration council.

My friend Mr. K was facing difficulties in Korea and feared returning there. He began to panic when his citizenship application was not proceeding smoothly. I suggested he use Jeffrey’s professional services instead of worrying and worrying. It turned out almost miraculously. There were some tense moments, but Jeffrey fended off any threats with calm and professionalism. Without Jeffrey, I just do not even want to imagine what could have happened. After he handled all the thorny problems, Mr. K promptly received his citizenship. He and his family are in ecstasy.

I write to thank you for the excellent services you provided in assisting us with Marcus’ immigration to Canada.

Your knowledge of the law in the area of immigration was so reassuring to us and we found your work to be exceptional. The attention to detail by you and your team was no doubt the reason our application was successful. We loved working with you and took comfort in your exceptional advocacy skills. I consider your work to be of the highest quality and I am always eager to recommend your services to friends and family in need of assistance.

Thank you once again for being our advocate while we navigated the tricky waters of Marcus’ immigration. We are so very grateful.

Yours truly

It would be a privilege to recommend using the professional services of Vivien Lee to anyone who wishes to make an application for immigration and residency in Canada.

Living in Scotland I had no idea of the complexities of such an application and Vivien was able to explain in detail what was required with a high level of professionalism and candour. She was able to suppress my fears and apprehension about the whole procedure – from beginning to end – and take the whole process through to a successful conclusion.

Her commitment to her job is commendable and my wife and I would not hesitate using her services in the future if required.

I have nothing but heartfelt appreciation for Vivien Lee's assistance in my immigration process to Canada. I have been through all the uncertainty that every immigrant faces during application (i.e. the painful wait period of approval or rejection!); I know what it is like to feel like my life is on hold. Vivien and her assistant Doris Tong went above and beyond their professional duty; they gave me caring and reliable service. Their presence and support during this uncertain time made my life easier. My paperwork was filed on time, communications were always prompt and my questions were always answered. My application was successful, after barely 5 months of waiting. If there's a job in this world where you can really make a difference in other people's lives, theirs would be it. Because of them, I have a new life in Canada.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Vivien Lee and Doris Tong in their handling of my wife’s immigration to Canada. I found the team of Vivien and Doris to be very professional and well organized. Throughout the immigration process, I was aware of the next step and had full confidence in their abilities. Thank you very much.

I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank Ms. Vivien Lee for her help in my achieving permanent residence in Canada. Being from Germany and English not being my first language, I was having a very difficult and frustrating time trying to understand all of the paperwork needed to receive permanent residency for this country, and found the immigration website offered by the Canadian government to be very confusing.

My wife and I contacted several immigration lawyers and Lowe & Company was the first and only company to respond. Mr. Jeffrey Lowe immediately put our minds at ease during our first conversation with him, and from then on our file was dealt with by Ms. Vivien Lee. Ms. Lee was ALWAYS available by phone or e-mail, responding to our questions immediately in a positive and very friendly manner. She was at all times extremely professional and I am sure I would still be struggling to receive permanent residency for Canada if not for her help.

We would recommend her services and Lowe and Company to anyone trying to make Canada their home. We would also like to mention the helpful and friendly manner of Angela and Doris who work in the Lowe and Company office. It was a pleasure to deal with everyone at Lowe and Company.

Since receiving permanent residency in less than a year of applying, I have accepted an excellent job as an engineering technician with BC's largest construction company, and my wife and I look forward to a very happy and prosperous life together in Canada!

Many thanks again to Ms. Vivien Lee and Lowe and Company.

Best regards

In regards to the work of Lowe & Company, especially that of Vivien Lee, senior consultant, I am completely satisfied and have only positive things to say. After acquiring and completing all the necessary documents, I applied for my permanent resident status in November [2008] and was approved four months later by the government of Canada.

The firm's costs are very minimal and the quality of Vivien Lee's work is outstanding. She was always available to answer my questions via telephone or e-mail, treated me as a valued client and my case as very important. Everyone I speak to is amazed at the short amount of time it took to obtain my status, and I credit that to the work of a very skilled consultant. I am so grateful for the firm's work and will recommend their services to anyone needing assistance of this sort.

Jeffrey Lowe demonstrated an in-depth knowledge and skilful application of immigration law in assisting my close personal friend Bryan Kerrison and his family immigrate to Canada from England. When Bryan’s employer left him high and dry three months after he arrived, Jeffrey successfully transferred the work permit to a new employer. This gave Bryan further opportunity to continue his new life in Canada and averted what could have been extreme hardship for him and his family. Thank you

Jeffrey Lowe and his firm helped one of my companies bring two excellent immigration candidates into Canada. These individuals have very high skill sets and experience not readily found in our local market. While enjoying the quality of life in Canada, they are also strong corporate assets helping develop and grow the company.

When we originally decided to move to B.C., we spoke with several lawyers before deciding whom to work with. We selected Jeffrey as he took time to take us through the various options in clear and straightforward language. Throughout the process, we never felt rushed or pressured to select his services.

We have been delighted with the service we have received. The team at Lowe & Company always keeps us fully aware of the situation with our application and their relationships with the various government departments have proved invaluable to our case. When we were faced with a need to accelerate the application, Jeffrey was able to suggest another route, which resulted in approval within a matter of weeks.

Jeffrey and his team continue to excel in providing guidance. I have, and will continue to, recommend their services without hesitation.

In 1988, Jeffrey Lowe helped me become one of the youngest entrepreneur immigrants. I was 24. After trying his excellent services, I never used any other immigration consultants or lawyers.

Jeffrey has a very promising and positive attitude towards everything, which makes him so special. He not only inspires his staff to think positive, but also his clients. The staff at Lowe & Company are very well-organized and helpful... all my questions and concerns were answered promptly with a solution. There was no delay from their end ever. This tells me that Lowe & Company is not only experienced but has an abundance of knowledge compared to other lawyers and consultants. They make every client feel important and this is why I would highly recommend their services to other clients.

Jeffrey is not only an incredible immigration lawyer, but also a business lawyer. He has guided me in all my business matters in Canada.

When I was rejected for a work permit as a church worker, Lowe & Company helped my husband get a job in Canada and then a PNP nomination. We now have permanent residence.

Finding Lowe & Company was truly a God-send. We had used another immigration company that really did not care. Lowe & Company took the time to listen to our complicated situation. From the moment we met, they were truly invested in us. Without exaggeration, if it were not for Jeffrey and his team, we would not have been successful. If you want to work with an organization that is pro-active, empathetic, genuine and professional, then Lowe & Company has to be first on your list.

As a U.S. citizen, I did a lot of research to find out the fastest way to get me started at my dream job in Canada. Jeffrey and Rita knew exactly the best way to handle my situation and they gave me peace of mind that I would be working as soon as possible with the least amount of hassle. Looking back, I can't imagine doing it without them.

Our experiences with Ms. Vivien Lee of Lowe & Company in Vancouver, BC, have been unlike any other legal work we have ever been involved in. Ms. Lee actually cares enough about ourselves as individuals, to know how we fit into our company and what the company actually does.

Our industry, for most people is a mystery and because of this they have no idea how to assist us. Ms. Lee actually found out, by asking questions and researching it.

Ms. Lee was able to take care of putting together everything we needed to get our work permit renewed, while we were running our business, and all we had to do was get to the Canadian Consulate with all her beautifully put together paperwork at a designated time and location.

Ms. Lee always gets back to her clients without delay. We feel that we are very lucky to have found such a professional to help us with our needs.

We highly recommend Lowe & Company’s services to other potential immigrants. Jeffrey and his staff helped us apply for permanent residence, establish a small business and form a corporation. They provided very competitive legal services and were very responsive and co-operative. Their lower fees and fast, responsive service set them apart from other immigration consultants and lawyers.

When I was rejected for a work permit as a church worker, Lowe & Company helped my husband Ronnie get a job in Canada and then a PNP nomination. We now have permanent residence.

Jeffrey Lowe and his staff helped my family immigrate to Canada. They also helped Dr. Huldah Buntain, a Canadian missionary in India for over 50 years, prepare all the legal work to establish a new Canadian charity, Buntains Calcutta Mission. Jeffrey, Rita and Akiko were always willing to walk not only the second, but the extra third, fourth and fifth mile for us. If I were to choose again whom I would like to work with, I can think of no one better than this hardworking team.

As a missionary from Africa coming to Canada for the first time, I faced many challenges. Lowe & Company helped sort out my family’s immigration documents with so much assurance.

Lowe & Company was generous in sharing information and ideas that helped me settle down quickly in Canada. I went to Lowe & Company for immigration consultancy, but I walked out with complete information that helped me spiritually, career wise, economically, and socially. Even five years after consulting with Lowe & Company, Jeff has remained a friend to me and to our growing church.

Lowe & Company is profoundly knowledgeable in their field, and their skills are exceptional. I have recommended them to my mission's leadership, and would still recommend them to anyone in need of immigration services.

We were so grateful for the fast and positive results we received from the services and expertise of Jeffrey Lowe and Rita Cheng and the team. They represented our organization in bringing desired international staff to Canada and dealing with a range of government bodies, like Service Canada for a positive Labour Market Opinion, and Immigration Canada for Permanent Residence and the Temporary Foreign Worker Unit for NAFTA issues. We were impressed by Lowe & Company's such good net-working relationships with these various departments!

The Lowe & Company staff was personal, knowledgeable and sought to understand what the issues were for us and our particular situation. We were pleased with the personal and professional approach in working with us as they were available to address all our questions that surfaced along the way. I would highly recommend their services to any company or organization.

In January 2006 my wife and I decided to move to Vancouver, BC in Canada. After a fairly extensive online research we opted to go with Lowe and Company. The first consultation we had with them was through Jeffrey Lowe. He was very kind and immediately we could tell he knew what he was talking about not only in terms of immigration but in terms of employment and business opportunities as well, something I believe is a great asset, especially if you are moving without having a job offer, which was our case.

Soon after the consultation two wonderful people were assigned to our case, Vivien and her assistant Doris. They were very professional, they demonstrated to have a great deal of confidence, knowledge, and ethics. The one thing we liked the most about Vivien and Doris is that they addressed our case in a personal manner. Even though we knew they had many other clients, we always felt we were the only ones. Both Vivien and Doris were always on top of our case and ready to answer every single question or concern that we had along the process. If we needed to choose again we would not hesitate to use their services again. Thank you very much, Vivien, Doris and Lowe and Company.

Sincerely

Three years ago, permanent residency seemed impossible for us. However, Jeffrey took us on and we have moved on to a new beginning in Canada, which we now call home. Credit belongs to Jeffrey and his team, who rise above professionalism to take their clients’ interests to heart. Thank you, Lowe & Company, "who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement." (Theodore Roosevelt)

I had a very good experience working with Lowe & Company. Vivien Lee was extremely thorough and prevented me from having any unpleasant surprises.

While I was sometimes exhausted by how much I had to do for her to make sure my case was solid, I was glad for her assiduousness. She helped expedite the handling of my immigration visa, and wrote a glowing letter of recommendation on my behalf which helped exempt me from an immigration interview. I had a complicated case that was very time-sensitive, and she handled it with skill and professionalism, and the highest degree of accuracy I have seen anywhere.

She was patient with me when I had my doubts about whether I even wanted to finish going through this difficult process. She was always cheerful and agreeable, and her friendly reminders kept me on track to complete my side of it in time. I am grateful for everything Vivien Lee and her secretary, Doris, did for me and would recommend Lowe & Company to friends.

I am so thankful to Jeff and his company for providing me with the opportunity to start a new life in Canada. I received my permanent resident status in 2005. He was not only professional, knowledgeable, reliable, patient and thorough in coming up with the best way for me to qualify, but he also went beyond the business side of the process by extending friendship and encouragement.

Dear Vivien,

It has been a real pleasure working together with you and your team during my immigration process. Right from our initial phone consultation about 1 1/2 years ago, I knew that this was the right path to go in asking you for professional support to realize my dream. I was impressed how detailed and professional my case was prepared in every little aspect and would recommend your service to everybody who needs legal support.

Once again, thank you very much for all your help!

Lowe & Company helped me renew my work permit as well as become a landed immigrant smoothly. I dealt with another Canadian immigration law firm before Lowe & Company, and I could definitely tell the difference between them. When I had questions, Jeffrey's team answered them, so I had a feeling of safety. They also made me comfortable as a client. Since they specialize in immigration, they were able to explain accurately and in detail about things like landing procedures.

Lowe & Company is very professional and they know what they are doing. One incident was when I went to the border renew my work permit. The border officer told me I couldn't do it that way, and that it was up to him to decide whether to give the new work permit to me or not. Then I asked him to read the letter that Lowe & Company had prepared. After reading the letter, the border officer apologized to me and gave me my new work permit without further ado. Jeffrey Lowe knows what he is doing!

It has been a blessing to work with Vivien Lee through my application process for a work permit and eventually my permanent residence. From day one, Vivien has been very thorough and helpful with answering my questions and calming my doubts and worries about the immigration process. She and her team were diligent with communicating to me and keeping me informed regularly about the status of my application and about new immigration regulations that could affect me.

I truly believe my application approvals happened much quicker than I expected because of the good standing Vivien and her team possessed, along with their diligence, integrity, wealth of knowledge and confidence. She took a whole load of stress off my mind, considering immigration can be such a long, tiring process! There's no question that you are in good hands with Lowe & Company!

Sincerely

As a writer of literature, I don't fit the standard categories for an application for permanent residence. So I owe my acceptance into Canada to Lowe & Company, and in particular to Vivien Lee -- her knowledge, experience, creative thinking and clear direction as well as her empathy, reassurance and concern. Although she made it clear to me all along that there were no guarantees, I believed I could trust her map through unknown territory and follow her guidance with peace of mind.

My gratitude goes as well to Doris Tong for her kindness and gracious assistance, and to everyone at Lowe & Company who participates in their collaborative process. They brought me home. I could never have done it by myself. If you are looking for help finding your place in this good country, your search is over.

I used Vivien Lee on a recommendation from a fellow consultant. I am please to say that all my questions were addresses in a timely manner, my documents were prepared correctly, and any questions answered. The result was a successful Canadian work permit.

April the 9th 2006 marks one of the most significant milestones in our family history. Because on this day, our family made our first landing on the soil of Canada as new immigrants. Our hearts filled with joy and gratitude as we move forward to an exciting and promising future in Canada.

We want to thank you, Vivien Lee, for your excellent service in helping us to become permanent residents of Canada. From day one you took up our case as our representative you have shown your dedication in your assignment. As an immigration consultant, you have not only been very professional and responsible in handling matters pertaining to our case, you have also been very passionate and personal toward us especially during times when we were anxious about the unpredictable situation.

Due to certain situations in our case, we ourselves were at times discouraged and almost gave up hope. But you took the trouble to locate us and called us all the way in Malaysia just to encourage us. We must say your firm is very fortunate to have an excellent and outstanding consultant like you. You have gone through many difficulties and challenges in helping us and we know it had not been easy for you. You started off with us as our consultant but now, to us, you are more than our consultant, you are a helpful friend. We are so thankful to you for all that you have done for us.

Vivien, thank you once again. You will never be forgotten by our family. We wish you all the best, we love you and you will be in our prayers.
