Fraud & scam
Wwics (World wide immigration consultancy services) with its h. O at chandigargh and branch office at various locations in india deals with immigration / work permit / permananent settlement.
Actually i applied for immigration to canada through its branch office at trichy on 2006. So for this process they have collected around 1 - lakh rupees and promised me to send canada within 6 months. Also separetly i was asked to pay to the canadian high commission - new delhi an additional fee of 23, 000 rupees. In the mean i cancelled it for medical reasons after a year. So as per the agreement they are supposed to refund me the amount back. But till this date they haven't taken any steps. In the mean time the trichy office has been closed and i was directed to contact the coimbatore office. But both these offices coimbatore and chandigarh, always played an hide and seek game till this date. Also each and every time new branch managers are being recruited and no one is there to give an proper solution or answer.
Even the chc has refunded the fee of 23, 000 but the wwics has not refunded even a single penny which they collected as consultancy charges. So like this they have involved in huge money laundering and scam. Many people have remitted huge amount like me. But coz of the foreign craze they never prefer to open their mouth. People are of the hope that one day or rather they would be getting immigration, but its just a mirage coz of the new immigration policies by the canadian govt. So, its never going to happen. Also these bogus people will get moral policing as soon as possible.

There is a high level scam that you are running.
I have been emailing for the last 2 months but no update.
No one even cares to receive a call.

And I have paid a lot of money.
Atleast have the decency to reply.

Hi everyone,
This WWICS is an absolute fraud and scam, which I experienced from UAE (lost about 4000 USD). They are just stealing your money. I particularly advise non-Indians who are not aware of the slumdogs the notorious filthy pimps of the Universe !. if you ignore you will lose your money and dignity. If someone got success then it is not definitely from these scams. he/she could have achieved by that even by direct application or through someone else. Actually, these pimps do nothing other than transfer your documents here and there. this is easily done by anyone and you do not need to waste your bills. The slumdogs are hired in their offices are utterly lights years far from the basic ethics and civilized manner. they will never make even a pinpoint of sense to non-Indians who are not familiar with "Indian culture".

After getting rejection in work permit - PR they advised to go ahead with student application. The lady counsellor Ms. Jebitha at chennai branch was not ahving any knowledge - just for the sake of numbers she persuaded me to apply and gave false hope. As a result i got a second rejection and now my hopes are dashed as I could not apply anymore. The Branch manager too did not bother to advise. I would have not wasted my time and money. Why the hell they need to give false hope. If you guys are not clear do not cheat the clients. Give proper counselling.

I am really happy we choose WWIC Bangalore office after visiting many agencies. The whole team is the best in the industry. They are very helpful especially Mr.Khalid who is the mountain of patience. He has so much patience that he never tires of answering us how may ever times we disturb him. I have received my offer letter for my Post graduate studies in Cananda and I am sure with the help of the WWIC Bangalore office team all my next process also will be completed smoothly. Thank you Mr.Khalid once again.

Dear Friends,
I applied trough WWICS Sharjah branch, the employs are so kind. I approach them to accomplish my Canadian dreams on 2015 Feb. The first thing they tell you was "in 6 months you will be in Canada" Unfortunately I am still in UAE. WWICS they are number one in giving you false information about the Canada immigration. they only explain the outline of immigration rules. My personal advice never goes and trap in the honeycomb what they showing. It's always better is to visit http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/ and you can find whatever WWICS tell is wrong.
I wasted my 11000 AED + 5000 AED for arranging the documents (for attestation & miscellaneous).
So it's always better, be educate yourself by reading the Canadian immigration rules & regulation without blindly trusting WWICS agents.
Regards
Jabin Thomas

I Am Tikendra WWICS is one of the fraud company in the world, they are not giving correct information and they are trying to take money from people for 2-3 years. i went thru the WWICS ABUDHABI 7 months back, they took all of my documents for pre approval and finally they replied me saying "you are eligible for Australia". next day i went to their office and paid 10000 DHS as a processing fee for emigration to Australia but finally i got negative response from Authority due to their negligence during filling the information in form. I am a Civil Engineer working in UAE since 11 years but they mentioned in the form that " i am working as a Civil Engineer in India since 5 years" . See how blinder mistakes they have ? i am going to file my case in Dubai Court with all the contact and evidence. tik1469@gmail.com

Immigration Procedure - Beware of Immigration Agencies! Don't give the money immediatly when they ask for it. Understand the minimum requirements and eligibility criteria. First you have to get score for either IELTS or PTE or TOEFL or GRE or GMAT for any immigration or higher studies. You have to score minimum eligible mark first. But the agencies will ask you to pay the money first for other processes and will suggest you to take the exams latter. But it is not the procedure. Once you have given money for other processes and if you have not scored the required eligible marks in the above said exams then they will not return your money. So, Beware! Check the procedures in Google before giving money and then take your decision instead of facing problem later. This has to reach all the aspirants. Please help. All the Best.

Hi friends,

wwics chennai is big cheat company, never ever believe their lies. The manger head is big fu****. Never think of wwics when u want to go for immigration to forgien countries, please go with some other good well known consultants. I have lost 3.5 lacs paying them and got cheated by them.There was a guy called mangalesh becoz of his lies i applied for canada immigration and got scrwed, his family wont be good...Sorry guys a big frustration for me thats why, the wwics, chennai should be closed and the people worked there shd loaf in street without having a job for month, since they have cheated so many people's money and living happy with them. My curse will never allow them to live well truely. Friends never ever think of this wwics chennai and in general wwics for immigration. They call them selves immigration experts, but they are not expert in that they are experts in cheating and telling lies and grabing money from ur pocket. These people shd be shot dead they are like big theifs.Bas****.

Pls pls pls dont ever believe then and never go to them for any immigration activities.

Useless bugggers let put over hands together and say bye to wwics, dont get cheated my friends and dears...Be cautious...

Hi All,

I am one of the client who is been cheated by WWICS Pune branch.
I have logged a case with the Pune Police.
Pune Police are very co-operative please make sure to log a case with the police.
Friends this is our hard earned money and WWICS is just cheating their clients. From last 4 years WWICS has just cheated me. Every year they make a new contract and keep charging you. And while making a new contract they will say they will refund you earlier fees but they don’t give a single rupee.
Please don’t forget to log a case against as there may me many innocent people like us who will be cheated and we have to stop this.

Thanks

I would like to inform you that i am one of your client . i applied for Canada PA 7 years back and paid multiple Lacs to WWICS group. After 7 years WWICS informed that there is a change of rule in Canada and becaz of which our case was not taken up. When i asked for refund of money WWICS came back and informed that they can pay only 500$ . But i paid more than Rs.2 lac to WWICS team 7 years back and now WWICS is giving a return of 500$ . is this fair?

I am writing this in reference to my brothers application for Australian Immigration which was done in Dubai by your organisation. I have spoken to Gursimran from Dubai branch over the phone and he clearly advised everything to be positive. We have phone recordings and emails to prove that. He chased my bother for the consultation fee and charged him. I am not detailing any specifics here due to my brothers privacy, However, When I tried to call/speak to the relevant management from your organisation. Gursimran(Dubai), Harish (branch Manager) and Sr. Director, WWICS Group Member of ICCRC (R418415) (Chandigarh) has been disconnecting my calls and not asnwering my calls/emails. Gursimran Singh disclosed me your MARA agent to be Gurpreet Sandhu and when I spoke to him, he claims he has nothing to do with your organisation. You people have been using some other MARA agents details to get leads. This is now reported to the Department of Immigration of Australia and Dubai Fraud authorities. This will have to stop. Your company has mislead by brother and you people have dodged his signature on one of your consent letters. Seriously, This is ridiculous. I have left messages for Suresh Kumar (Head of Australian Cell) to contact me and he failed to do so. You will hear from the relevant authorities soon.

I paid the full amount in advance in August 2014. they only exchanged few emails to update my profile. I only paid and signed after they confirmed illegibility. Uptil now (May 2015) they did not even submit my papers or do anything. Emailed, SMS'ed, called my 2 account managers, Dept. GM and GM a lot of times and by a lot, I mean at least 1-2 times a week.
They never respond. Didn't provide any service. Took my money for nothing at all.

Hi,
Well it all depends upon your experience. I hired to get visa for CANADA but the category was closed by immigration. So I applied for Australian visa through them and it took me a year to get my visa.
You have to understand although you have hired them you have to be in constant touch with them. Try to submit all the required documents in time coz that creates most problems. Do not wait or delay on deadlines. Its a mutual job by both. They are just facilitators to guide to u to get ur visa.
I got approved 489 visa for me-my wife-n my baby girl.
GOOD LUCK...!

Wwics is a fraud business company
Here they will use your hard earned money by giving false promises and after an year or 2 they will try to get rid from you and if you are like a gum to your money then they will refund your money by deduction huge amount from your deposited money.
Wwics they wont start your process untill you pay them hefty amount and once you paid they will forget you uand your case.
Wwics is useful to those punjabis and gujraties who pays them 20lakhs and above then wwics will do their visa at any cost and wwics will use us just for the name sake and to utilise our hard earned money.

Wwics is useless and untrusted company please be aware from them
My email id is (sbar172@yahoo.com) and if you we all together will join then we can fight with these fellows at any cost. send me details on my mail id and together we will and together we can.

Hi,
WWICS is a fraudelent company. i myself worked with an immigration company but decided to get my sister, s case done from wwics as their market reputation was good. To my surprise they took money on various names . firstly WWICS and then global strategic . Due to their mistakes i decided to withdraw the case nd they refused to pay initially. But after some time they decided to pay only 30% of the ammount paid. i appealed in district consumer forum and won the case. but they appelaed in state forum which is their right. Now they say global strategic is not their company. Col Sandhu along with his sons is a big liar and cheater. These people have no sel;f respect they just live for money. APPEAL to all...kindly save yurself and yur lovables from these three.

WWICS is a cheating/Fraud agency.. More than 16 people cheated by WWICS Bangalore Branch. After collecting the money for few of them they provided duplicate receipt. Asst Branch Manger Dharmaraj Hegde made candidates to deposit money to His account. When i asked for refund of the money (I made initial payment of 84000Rs.). They are ready to refund only 56k. Because I am not signed any agreement.
They are misusing the weakness of ordinary man. When I am demanding for my hard Money, they are telling if u wants you can file case against us and matter will be finalized in consumer court.
I request everyone don’t spoil your life by visiting WWICS.
They are M…….

I was also cheated by WWICS. Initially, they told my profession is in the list of skills required for Canada. They took more than 1 lac rupees. Later, my case was rejected as my profession was not in the list. This was after waiting for 8 long years. Only, the Canadian embassy fee of 30000 rupees was reimbursed. I lost around 80000 rupees. I sincerely advise all the immigration aspirants to check thoroughly your eligibility before registering with cheats like WWICS.

A very big sincere thanks to WWICS for standing by me and my family to ensure our dreams came true. She acted and behaved in a very professional manner from the word go. WWICS took over my case from another bunch of clowns and it was such a relief and a breath of fresh air for me personally. Our visa I am sure would not have been granted in the time frame it was if we did not have WWICS as our acting agent. She is worth her weight in gold. When somebody sends you an email at 1.30am you know you've got a goer and a winner on your team. And we had WWICS as our agent and now we are moving to Australia at the end of the week. I rest my case...Thank you WWICS for everything. God Bless.

WWICS fraud was the nightmare of my life. WWICS cheated me upfront and did not deliver anything as promised by them. I went to them for my PR work, they did not help me as promised. I advise people to beware of WWICS. I wish that others take into account my review before going to WWICS for any kind of help. Scam organizations like WWICS should be closed forever and not allowed to operate.

WWICS cheats people and thus WWICS should be banned from operating. WWICS is a fraud company. It took them 10 years to try for my PR approval and then finally after 10 years I get the news that my PR cannot be processed due to some policy changes. I feel like being harassed and exploited both emotionally and monetarily. You trust them and they will make sure to break it. They have scam procedures that are there just to fool people and waste their time.

WWICS Sharjah Branch

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the staff of WWICS, Sharjah Branch and WWICS group for helping us obtain our Canadian visa.This time I would like to thank, from the depths of my heart, the Agency WWICS, the Sharjah Branch, especially Mr. Ajay Sharma who supported me in everything regarding my paper work. I believe that without him this would have been impossible. Whenever I called him regarding this matter, He would answer the phone, clear all my doubts and he would encourage me.I used to visit Sharjah office regularly regarding this matter. The staffs there were very friendly and welcomed me as if it was my own home.I also thank Nimmy Nair for the support and encouragement she gave me.Once again, I thank you all for the same.

On behalf of my family and I, I would like to express our sincere gratitude for all your help and support since the beginning of the process of acquiring permanent immigration visa for Australia. We will be leaving to Australia hopefully by the end of this year. If it wasn't for your consistent guidence we would have given up hope. I would also like to appreciate the sincere and prompt service whenever I had any query regarding visa application. Special thanks to Vinay, Nisha, Savneet and entire wwics team for making our dream come to reality.
