Hello! I am Sara Mencía, if I have to define myself in two words they are: curious and positive! My story in Canada began in 2011, when I arrived as a temporary worker. I became a permanent resident through my husband's sponsorship. However, by not hiring the services of an immigration advisor and based on blogs and (well-intentioned) comments from relatives, my permanent residence process was extended for 5 years, when, if I had had adequate information, my process could have been lasted only one (1) year! My lesson learned is that if you are going to undertake such an important change in your life and that of your family, invest in an initial consultation and expert representation in immigration matters to avoid delays or errors in your immigration process.
