SUSAN
I am a single mother and permanent resident who could not afford the fees for Canadian citizenship. Elizabeth House connected me with the team at Lockwood Paralegal Firm. They helped me complete and submit citizenship applications for my two children and me. Elizabeth House paid all my paralegal and application fees!
