WWICS Group Complaints & Reviews

I would like everyone to know that WWICS Mohali (Mr. Arvinder Singh - in-charge) is Duping me of my money in the name of the Covid situation I am in.
I have availed the Services for Job Seekers Visa for Germany via WWICS Mohali. They charged me 53000/- for that(the receipt is included). I was in process of completing my paperwork when the Covid stuck and I was not able to complete it. There was no communication for the WWICS side either that I have to complete it under a per decided deadline. Now that the lockdown restrictions have eased and I was ready to complete the paperwork they told me that this program is not there anymore and offered me to convert it to any other program which I am not interested in. Now, they are not refunding my money saying that I was not able to submit my paperwork in the stipulated time frame. They are just cheating me on my hard-earned money.
Can someone please help me? or what Legal route I can follow?

I have had a really pathetic experience with WWICS. Your staff is really uncooperative at all times. They make lame excuses like I am on a holiday for some days or I am having lunch. Saturday Sunday you can’t expect anything from them. I paid for RNIP Programme to your people but I am not interested in going to Canada. Refund my complete amount today Or otherwise I will contact the higher authorities.

I am very regretful that I applied for going abroad through WWICS, which is totally an incompetent institution in providing services. The employees are totally unprofessional who can not keep their words. No one bothers to give reply to calls or mails. WWICS received my application for refund on 04.06.2020, but neither I received my refund nor any proper reply from any responsible person till date. I am in urgent need of money. I hope you will look into the matter

I called the Chandigarh branch to enquire about student visa but I got a very cold response from them. The manner of talking was so rude that I felt humiliated and embarrassed. The staff must be trained to talk in a proper and respectful manner.

My cousin applied through them but they don't respond to him anymore. This is really disgusting and unprofessional. He has paid as required and is supposedly in the pool. But there is no update shared with him by the company and they don't respond to his inquiries.

My name is navpreet singh... On 3/7/2020 i have consulted with mr kartik of your jalandhar branch astt manager regarding canada PR under RNIP program.. He assured me to provide job offer within 6 months but he failed to fulfil his promise... Now my case has been suspended and he told me my money will be refunded within 12 13 days... Its already 16 days i have not receieved anything... Hoping for your positive revert..

Thanks and regards

Brief:
My profile had been checked by Ms. Shikha Parihar- Territory Manager (as conveyed to me), and I was told I am eligible for applying for Canada PR under the RNIP program initially for 9 communities as 2communities have not opened / established their website site, once open M/s.: WWICS shall file my application for the balance 2 communities too, i.e. totally 11.

However, once I paid up the advised fees, I was told I can apply only I had to follow up with the respective teams.
On which I came to know the listing for some communities is done on job portal and not the community directly.
My application/resume details were also no properly uploaded in full, which I Had to complete on my own.

This was done for 3 communities, when I asked what about the balance communities I was told I am not eligible for the same.

Before paying I had mentioned my preferences very clearly to Ms. Shikha Parihar, but not once did she mention to me that I am not eligible for the communities I am interested in.

Then on discussing with Ms. Shikha Parihar all points form start, she agreed there has been a communication gap between her and her team and she did no have the full information and asked me to send all details in writing on email to proceed and process for refund.

Now, after following up with Ms. Shikha Parihar since 5th November 2020, today they sent me an email that they have not approved my refund as I am with drawing my application.

When I am not eligible as confirmed by M/s.: WWICS own team, then what is the use to applying?
Why did they accept my application ?

And it was confirmed by Ms. Shikha Parihar, that I am eligible for the complete RNIP program.

A detailed email which i sent on 5th November 2020 has been pasted below to give you a detailed understanding of the complete matter.

Yours Truly,

Mr. G. Singh Soni

Greetings,

Many thanks for your feedback, request you and the Team to kindly read the detailed email and advise accordingly.

Further, with reference to your email below; I hear by clarify and bring to your notice facts as under:

What I had been told before making the payment:
RNIP program a unique program in which 11 communities are participating such as:

(2 communities are not open yet- application shall be done in 9 initially and after the balance 2 communities open application shall be filed the also)
Community

Community website

North Bay, ON https://northbayrnip.ca/

- Sudbury, ON https://investsudbury.ca
- Timmins, ON www.timminsedc.com
- Sault Ste. Marie, ON www.welcometossm.com
- Thunder Bay, ON www.gotothunderbay.com
- Brandon, MB www.economicdevelopmentbrandon.com
- Altona/Rhineland, MB www.seedrgpa.com
- Moose Jaw, SK https://www.moosejawrnip.ca/
- Claresholm, AB www.claresholm.ca
- Vernon, BC https://rnip-vernon.ca
- West Kootenay (Trail, Castlegar, Rossland, Nelson), BC
https://wk-rnip.ca/

Step 1: the details of applicant are filed with the community such as:

Resume - Assessed education report by WES University degree

IELTS score (minimum bad 5) - Are submitted to each community,

Step 2:

as and when job requirements meeting the applicants profile arise in the community, the community contacts the applicant;

Step 3:

after which there is a meeting/interview (online) of the applicant,

Step: 4

once the applicant clears the interview the employee gives the required documents from his side to the community;

Step: 5

An online interview between the applicant and community is set up,

Step: 6

After successful interview with the respective community the community gives the client a recommendation letter, recommending the applicant to IRCC for PR process.

Step: 7

Applicant files for the PR with the IRCC/ respective government authorities;

Step: 8

All documents being in place; the government grants the applicant Permanent Residency of Canada (PR of Canada).


On knowing the above, I had shared my profile with your team who had advised me, that I should complete my WES education assessment and IELTS (since all other documents and profile are eligible for RNIP program as described above); and there is demand for my profile and your team is viewing the ongoing demands in RNIP.

On basis of which I completed my WES assessment and IELTS respective processes after paying their respective fees.

I was never informed that my profile is eligible only for 4 from the above 11 communities under the RNIP program; or any further formalities or processes are missing in my eligibility criteria in any manner what so ever.

I was always told my profile is complete and matches the RNIP requirements in all respects.

After I applied (paid up): What I was told & What has been done:

The details of the applicant are uploaded in the job board of the community and not to the community,
The applicant has to share his/her profile apply for jobs relevant to the applicant.
Apart from 4 communities i.e. Brandon, Vernon, Kootenay, Seeds.

my profile does not have eligibility for the balance communities- which is a total surprise and shock as most of the time I spoke to your coordinator; I was constantly referring to Sudbury, Timmins and other communities in Ontario & British Columbia; but not once was I informed that I am not eligible for these communities.

Out of the 4 communities, I had already applied in Vernon my-self as the teams was taking too much time to do any progress.
Further, on Kootenay jobs.com my profile was only-added with basics such name and email id, no categories were selected, my resume was not uploaded and neither any of my details in-spite of follow up with your team.

And on the balance existing 3-4 communities there are no relevant jobs.


This email which you have shared now dated: 02.11.2020 informing me of the various eligibility requirements for each community should have been shared to me much before I applied for the RNIP program; and I should have been informed earlier which communities if my profile eligible for; and then it would be my choice to proceed with the RNIP program or not.
Sharing misinformation / less information- was never expected from such a reputed firm.


As facts stated above, I feel thoroughly cheated and mis-informed which has not only made me loose the amount I paid to you plus the money I had to pay for:
Ielts &
WES: which is of no use to me, as the RNIP plan does not meet my requirements.

I, humbly request you to kindly put you self in my place and try and understand the stress, disappointment, let down not to mention the mental agony I have been going through along with my family due these un-ethical and ill-informed details from M/s.: WWICS, team.

I, hereby request you humbly to kindly refund me with the full amount I have paid to M/s.: WWICS, as the process I had been informed for before paying the fees has not been followed and has been misleading.

(Even if I manage to get a job offer for the communities other than the 3 applied for, getting a PR is not possible to eligibility criteria which I was not informed of from your team till I requested for my application to be filled in the respective balance 7 communities.)


Hoping for your kind consideration and cooperation in this regard to resolve the matter amicably to avoid arising any conflict of interest,

Thanks & Best Regards,

Mr. Gurpreet Singh Soni

I had given my work visa to wwics Ahmadabad branch with 5000 $ advance . after some time they closed their Ahmadabad branch office and know me my file is now at mohali head branch office . i had complained for transfer my file that time they told me if i not want to continue my file they treat my file as voluntary withdraw and will not return my advance money . due to this reason i was forcefully ready to continue my file . but after this my file was stuck their for long time after my main mails they just reply and told me they will do my visa as soon as, after my trail of mail they tell me you are getting only 14 $ wages which was very less as committed by their Ahmadabad branch
and if i am not ready with this wages they nothing do for me and will treat my file as voluntary withdraw and will not back my advance money, i need help for get back my advance money or my work visa

I m Dr. Seema Sharma working in Hospital and posted at Haryana State. I approached the WWICS Mohali for just getting the idea of PR, Then Flood of phone Calls repeatedly by Madam Amita Narulla, She got trapped me by her smooth talk and got One Lakh 18 Thousand from me on 25 Feb, 2019, Even I didnt qualify ILETS that time
Nor she described that until I qualify for ILETS, I am not eligible for further process, after getting money, No calls I received from Amita Narulla except auto generated calls from WWICS and WES,
Then without clearing ILETS they got transcriptions of my all educational and professional certificates from universities, and did the same as Madam Narulla told then I appeared two times in ILETS and got 5.5 Band, she didnt give any detail of Age constraint or other major issues but keep on submission money after PNP express entry She demanded 50 Thousand more from me, but I dodnt give as already I have given to madam Narulla One Lac, 18 000 ( A huge amount), She deceived me . I just want justice.

It all started from an online advertisement which I came across in June-2018, that stated “Work and settle in Canada”, which asked for my contact details if I am interested.
Their representative called and asked a few questions about my academic and work background and convinced me that I am more than eligible to work and settle with a permanent residence visa in Canada.
The same was shared to me on my email and i was asked to meet them at their office in Domlur, Bangalore. I met their representative Mr. Bhupathi, who explained me the whole process and convinced me how I am eligible for express entry permanent residence visa for Canada and the steps I will be following to make my profile.
As I had further doubts, I was asked to meet there branch in-charge Mr. Jagdeesh, who again convinced me by telling me about the pros of moving to Canada and how it is a right decision for me. Hence, i was asked to make a payment of INR 94400 to WWICS.
Moving forward, I had to meet the basic eligibility criteria’s, which included getting my education credentials certified by “World Education Services” and obtaining a score above (7, 7, 7, 8) in IELTS.
For WES, they just made the profile online and I was supposed to run behind everything from getting the transcripts to checking if the same are delivered to WES on time to getting the final WES certification for which I had to pay an extra INR 12283. For IELTS, I was guided by their team members to join a local IELTS coaching institute, for which I had to pay INR 12500 and I scored a band of 7.5 (8.5, 7.5, 7, 7) (more than the minimum eligibility criteria) in October-2018
Finally after getting done with all the other formalities and procedures, my profile was made active from Feb-2019 and I was asked to wait for an invitation to apply from the government of Canada and that the Express Entry draw takes place every 2 weeks or so.
After waiting for almost 9 months and not getting any update on the same, I was advised to file for a PNP with Prince Edward Island for which they charged me INR 70799 again as their fee.
Till now, all the payment which I had made to WWICS was for their consultation and guidance only.
Even after all the this, nothing seemed to be working out and disappointed, I waited till Feb-2020 when I found out that my express entry profile has expired and not being renewed which I was assured of that it will be taken care by WWICS. On calling their office, I came to know that they have shut their Bangalore office permanently and the case is now handled by the Mohali team in Punjab.
When I got in touch with the Mohali team for getting my profile renewed, I was told that the same got delayed because the Bangalore office got shut. The opportunities that i would have got during the period my profile was inactive were also lost.
I was then shared my GC Login key and password, where I can view my profile online and can see if there are any new updates. When I logged in to my profile, I found out that I had a pending invitation to apply for a PNP from the New Brunswick government. The message was received in October- 2019 and was not even opened or checked until I opened it in Feb-2020 after my profile had expired.
On calling their head office in Mohali, I was simply told that they will reinitiate my profile and that they had missed out on this message as the Bangalore office had shut and they will try their best to help me getting the opportunity back, which was again not possible because the profile had to be reinitiated and the previous one had expired.
They finally reinitiated the profile in March- 2020 after a number of calls and emails from my end. As I was already fed up of their false promises, unprofessional behaviour and carelessness, I asked them to initiate a refund for the money which I had paid them for their services, for which nobody replied on email till date and on call I was told that the refund cannot be proceeded because they don’t have a policy to refund even if they mess the case up.
Later due to lockdown, the whole process was at a halt and I again waited till October to get another chance from the Govenrment of Canada or a province when I came to know that my IELTS score has now expired and I will again have to appear for the same and get my profile reinitiated again. After all this, I had already lost all hope and energy to waste for the process. So again I mailed them regarding the refund and that how it has been so depressing for me due to their unprofessional and careless behaviour.
Till date I have not received an answer for the same. On calling their head office, team has been asking me to wait as they are trying to take a decision with their legal team on whether to initiate the refund or not and there has been no assurance or compensation given till date except apologies.
In total, have spent INR 203154 directly excluding the other expenses covered for obtaining the transcripts, travelling, etc.

Anyone who value their time, money and stress levels, please stay away from this company. Not only they will waste your money, their carelessness and unprofessional behaviour will be an added stress factor for the time they pretend to provide you the services.
Have wasted more than 2 years of my life and due to their carelessness, lost a golden opportunity for which by the way I paid them. Not only that, their casual behaviour and reluctance to take any responsibility for the same will make you doubt the very existence of this company.
DONOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THEM, NO MATTER HOW CONVINCING THEY SOUND.

Before we apply for visit visa for wwics dubai jot brance and they told me they give visa within 30 day but now they told gov stop visa so they can’t give visa and they didn’t want refunds our money also

I am trying to get refund of my hard earned money from WWICS for the last one year but no body is listening. I am salaried class person and this money means a lot to me.
I have done all as per the WWICS people but they ditched me and my family's emotions.
I feel very much frustrated and demotivated.
Request you to help me to get my money back from this notorious company.

Hi
My self Ashok kachchhi, I already lots of call about refund. But not response properly and already pass lot if month.so please give me reply about that. I need very argent refund

I submitted my case since jan 2016 for pr in canada in wwics ludhiana br. How many years have been passed instead of to follow my case seriously & professionally. The staff of ludhiana office showed so much irresponsibility. They have lost my hard copies of documents. 3 to 4 staff who were handling my case have been resigned. Whenever new person come to handle my case they asked again to submit the documents. They don't keep backup. So much poor service provider. Now i want refund but these people again want me to submit my all the documents. For last 4 yr 8 months these people are playing with me.

I am mrs. Pooja resident of chandigarh. I have registered last year in the month of december with wwics for pr immigration to canada. Initially i got the calls from the office but after that no communication till date. I have already paid the amount more than 1 lakh in one go but not happy with the services. It's their duty to get in touch with us and put every effort to make our case a success. Now 7 months have passed but no call from their side and if i call then there is no reply. I was under the impression that wwics is such a big name in immigration field, i should approach them. But i was wrong. I will never recommend anyone to go and waste their time and hard earned money to these kind of companies. I want justice. I want the services to value my money. Ashish is the concerned person who is handling my case. He hardly calls and replies back and ignores all the time. I don't want to hear false promises but want results to justify my huge money paid to the company. If you can't fulfill the promise please refund the money paid as soon as possible. Looking forward to hear from you and working on the matter seriously/ constructively. Please don't prove the words we usually hear from every next person about cheating and running away with money by these immigration companies right. Do justice. Stay honest.

Wwics is chitting with customers if customer paid huge amount for service for next day they are not receiving phone and not giving answers properly. All teams members make wrong guidance and they have no any knowledge. Stupid and i'll literal staff.

I am very disappointed with the service. I am trying to get in touch with the branch of vadodara since last four to five months bt have still not received any satisfactory response. The phone are either not reachable or switched off

I am rupinder singh. 2 years back i went to wwics main branch mohali to enquire for study visa of my wife. I was guided to file pr instead of going with study visa by payal who was our counsellor. She was so confident that we can easily get pr in 12 to 13 months so we followed her instructions. They took entire amount 2 lacs 24 thousand before starting any procedure. The very initial step wes approval takes only about one month which because of them took 8 months. After enquiring from other persons i came to know that we cannot get pr from the way they are suggesting. They misguided us immensely. That was a complete mental torture. Then i took my step back and requested the refund about 1 year back as nothing was done in my process by their side. But they refused to give the money back. Therefore, i request you to help in the reimbursement of the money so that i can invest the amont in my future plans. I will be really greatful if you can look into this matter.

Wwics asked for documents which they need to proceed. I provided all the documents with in 24 hours. They asked me to submit manipulated experience letter (Fake experiecen letter) which i denied to provide.

As they can't proceed with my original documents, i asked them for refund. I am following up with them since last 18 months. They are just approving 35-40% amount which does not make sense. They did not work on my case and they want to deduct 60-65% of money.

Looking forward to cancel comapny's immigration license if they can proceed with fake documents. Let me know if anyone else is looking forward for a strong action against company.
