From the beginning of the consultation service, I felt that Diana was very careful and clear and provided accurate information about immigration and education. During the process, Diana helped me to solve a lot of problems and doubts about immigration, especially in my English exam journey, I got a lot of encouragement and help. I feel that she is helping me to achieve my immigration goals with love and companionship. I wish Diana all the best in her professional field and hope that more people who are thinking of emigrating will be able to get Diana’s professional help.

I came to Canada with my husband and two sons thanks to the help and advice of Breaktime Immigration and Education Consulting. Santiago, his Director, was recommended to me by my client, who also came to Canada through Santiago´s company.
Read MoreSantiago helped me with the somehow complicated process of registering and getting accepted in my professional program at Douglas College in Vancouver. Initially I also needed to improve a bit my English, to take it to an advanced level, and Breaktime helped me choosing an online English school, that allowed me to register in my current college. I am studying Early Childhood Education in Douglas College, in Vancouver.
The process was smooth, both for registering in my educational programs and, most importantly, for our family application for Study and Work Permits. Santiago took care of all the process.
Finally, we successfully arrived in Canada! Currently, my husband is working in his professional field, as a Chef in a well-known restaurant, my kids are well adapted in their school and I love my field of study and life in Canada.
Thanks to Santiago Endara and Diana Chan for their assistance!

I studied Chemical Engineering in Mexico, but my real interest and love was always theatre and acting.
At one point in my life, my husband and I decided that it was time for me to fulfill my dream of studying acting.
A teacher recommended us to contact Santiago Endara, from Breaktime and it was a fantastic decision. Santiago helped us in finding the right Educational Program that enabled my husband and I to come to Canada and be able to Study and Work.
When people ask me if I know someone that can help them come to Canada, I guide them to Santiago and Breaktime. I know they are honest, competent and serious.

My husband and I wanted to come to study in Canada, both to upgrade our education and also to have a valuable international experience abroad.
My educational agency recommended us to contact Santiago Endara, from Breaktime, as he is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant and he could help us with our visas.

I contacted Santiago Endara and Diana Chan,, from Breaktime Immigration Consulting on the recommendation of a friend, and I processed with him the entire issue related to study permits for me and my children, as well as the work permit for my partner. I am going to study an MBA in Canada.
Read MoreFrom the beginning, Santiago guided me on how to prepare my documents to request permits for my entire family. The help was useful, since sometimes one does not know the correct way to collect the documents required by the embassy, or how to make sure that all the immigration forms are well filled out and without errors that could cause the visa to be denied.
Santiago uploaded our documents and gave us the news of how our application was going, from the appointment for the biometrics, to the appointment for the medical exams, until finally receiving our passports with the visas for each of us.
Service was attentive and timely, and we always felt like we could contact Breaktime with any kind of question.

Breaktime is one of the top 3 best companies I have ever dealt with in my life and I am very happy with their professionalism and care.
Two and a half years is not a short period of time. From my first attempt for Study Permit application to the approval of my visa, I have experienced a lot of frustrations and difficulties, and when I was officially notified last week that my student visa was approved, I was overwhelmed with tears of joy.
Due to the delay in the epidemic and the fact that my first application was rejected, I was full of doubts, confusion, worries and disappointment. Because I am a businessman, I am always well prepared. Last year, I had several friends who had successfully applied for visas to Canada and started a new life. I used an Immigration Consultant they referred me to, but unfortunately, they did not treat my unique case with attention, and they did not take a right approach.
I was very disappointed when I received a notice from the immigration office in June that my student visa had been refused, but unfortunately this immigration consultant was unable to provide timely solutions and assistance and was very reluctant to follow up on my situation afterwards. I was so upset that I sought help from various sources, including many immigration companies and friends on the internet. Unfortunately, none of them could give me full confidence and most of them were profit-oriented, and whenever I asked more questions, they said they would charge me first. When I was extremely discouraged, a good friend of mine recommended Diana Chan of Breaktime to me. At first, I was sceptical. But when I first met her, she took time to listen, understand and document my situation, and was able to offer immediate solutions. After careful consideration, we finally chose Breaktime’s services.
Breaktime’s instructions were clear, Diana was patient, followed up on everything and showed their professionalism in working as a team. The waiting process was very difficult and time consuming, and every time I said I was worried about being refused a visa again, Diana kept encouraging me to be patient and to go about my work and life as usual, waiting for the good news to come.
After three weeks of waiting and applying again, we received the best news of our lives, our student visa was approved! After the visa was approved, Breaktime’s services didn’t stop there, they kept reminding us of all the things we needed to know and gave us lots of tips to prepare us for life in Canada. They reminded us in detail of all the documents required for entry into Canada and other worthy things to note, etc.
I would definitely recommend Breaktime to any of my friends who are looking to immigrate to Canada if they have the opportunity. Once again, I would like to thank Breaktime for their dedication and assistance and wish them all the best for their continued success. I hope they can help more people who wish to immigrate to Canada, or who need to apply for the various visas required to travel to Canada, to successfully settle in this beautiful country.

When I arrived to study in Canada, I did not realize that my passport was about to expire and my study and work permits were not long enough to finish my studies in Canada.

Breaktime have been a huge help from the moment I started planning my studies in Canada, to receiving my permanent residence.
They helped make my application process effortless and provided me with any information I needed as I started to get settled in Vancouver. They kept in touch and were available to counsel me about future studies or work in the city as I started my journey towards PR.
After finishing my co-op program, their knowledge and support helped guide me through the final steps of securing my future in Canada.
Starting a life in a new country can be stressful, but having Breaktime at my back, I always felt I had a resource to reach out to.

Since our dream of going to the wonderful country called Canada began, like you, we had many doubts. What is the best college? Which career I want to study, where can I find it? What documents do I need to enroll? among many other questions.
It was there that we found the perfect advisor at Breaktime to help us answer these and a thousand other questions, offering advice and support at all times.
Something unusual that happened in our process was when we began to study English remotely due to Covid. I took the University Pathway program and my husband the IELTS preparation course. In this situation, many of the policies that the institutes had established in terms of reimbursement concepts, became obsolete due to the regulations generated during the pandemic. It was here that having Breaktime made the difference, since it represented us in our dispute for money with the institute, advised us at all times and was the one who reconciled looking for a satisfactory solution for all parties. This would not have been possible if Santiago Endara (Breaktime manager and now friend) and his excellent relationships with representatives of Canadian colleges and language institutes had been advising and supporting us in our process.
I hope that my testimony can help many people to make this important decision to find a strategic ally in the construction of the dream that many of us share of arriving in Canada as an international student, because in Breaktime you will find the best service, support and advice to make this dream come true.

From the first time I contacted Breaktime – Canada, its director Santiago Endara was very kind and clear about the programs available to study and work in Canada through a Co-Op Diploma. After exploring the various options, I was convinced that Breaktime was the best option. They helped me with all the necessary paperwork to get my study / work permit quickly.
