WWICS Dubai Reviews – WWICS Dubai Complaints – Do not fall in WWICS Trap

My case number with WWICS Dubai is [FSN:139506]
I gave them all the documents and the money 3 years back and they promised me to get all done in 6 months to 2 years after that they said we can claim refund.
I asked them to refund several times but they keep directing me to different employees emails and I fail to get any positive response.

What I can do now is to warn others from falling in the trap.
They might send 1  out of 10 successfully but they’ll take money from all 10 and no refund later.

Do not fall in WWICS Trap.

WWICS immigration Reviews – WWICS Worst Immigration Consultancy – WWICS immigration is not at all trustworthy

Posted By: Vinay

WWICS group is Worst Immigration Consultancy.

WWICS is not at all trustworthy. They are only involved in money making and least bothered about customer’s problems. WWICS would sound very professional and courteous initially but are not at all supportive to the customer once fees are paid. Especially in tough times like COVID-19, they were totally ignorant to our issues. WWICS group management is a bunch of crooks who only want to steal money our your pocket by hook or by crook but would never respond to your requests. I have my own bad experience and many people have also told me that wwics top the list of worst consultancies.

Please suggest me how to get my refund as I haven’t at all used their services.

Refund of money given for immigration

By: Arvind

Dear sir/Madam,

This is to bring to your notice that I arvind kumar has applied for PR to Canada under the advise given by the agent of WWICS,MOHALI. After verifying and going through my documents they told that I have a strong case for PR to Canada so I applied for PR under file no 80655. And I gave them 3,70,000 rupees in total including taxes. However after two years they told me that ur documents are not valid as per Canadian law so you apply for refund .and they told me that they can give only 50,000 rupees because they had paid money at Canada .they never gave me any slip or receipt of money given to Canada . so I filed a complaint in police station mohali.after two months of harassment that refunded me only 2,50,000 only and as I don’t understand Punjabi language properly that told me to sign consent form . because of long emotional and mental harrasment I took that money . but they never returned my documents that I had given to then that still have my ILETS and other documents with them when I told them they said they will return them and will give a call. I never got any call till date and they still have my 1,50,000 ruppes including miscellaneous money given to them . I want justice and strongly demand my refund. As I m working in a private university and I m from shimla himachal Pradesh basically I always feel insecure and stressed due to this kindly do the needful and ablidge.

Subsequently, the client decided to make an application only in her name as the principal applicant for creation of the Immigration File in the High Commission of Canada, by paying the requisite fee of INR 20,350/- (Indian Rupees Twenty Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty only).
On 13th January 2006, the company received an official letter from the Immigration Section of the High Commission of Canada, located at 7/8 Shantipath, Chanakyapuri, P.O. Box 5209, New Delhi – 110021, acknowledging the receipt of the application from the client for permanent residence in Canada dated 28th November 2005, and that an Immigration File No. B049028394 had been created for the client. The letter also stated that “We are presently assessing applications received approximately 52 months ago. With unforeseen changes in our volumes and the resources available to handle applications, we cannot, however, guarantee that we will be able to complete the initial screening of your application within 52 months.”
Attached to the letter was a scheme detailing how the application of the client would be processed, and a Receipt No. 6029 dated 12th December 2005 for INR 20,350/- (Indian Rupees Twenty Thousand Three Hundred and Fifty only), towards “Skilled Worker PR Application – Spouse/Common Law Partner, Dep > 22”.
The Settlement Division of the company accordingly assigned a Reference No. WWICS C05 – 411819/33156 for the file of the client and issued a letter to her on 13th February 2006 confirming the receipt of the Visa Processing Fee and including instructions for further stages of immigration.
On 12th June 2013, the company received an intimation from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), with Immigration file number B049028394, dated 24th May 2013, and addressed to the client, with regard to her Federal Skilled Worker application for immigration to Canada, which stated that her application for the same had been terminated by law due to the passage of “The Jobs, Growth, and Long-Term Prosperity Act” on 29th June 2012, under whose legislation the FSW applications made before 27th February 2008 were terminated by an operation of law if a selection decision had not been made by an immigration officer before 29th March 2012. The letter also stated that “The immigration processing fee(s) paid for your permanent residence application, and, if applicable, any Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF), formerly called the Right of Landing Fee (ROLF), paid for your permanent residence application, must be returned to you by law.” The letter carried with it an application form for “Refund of Processing Fee, Right of Permanent Residence Fee or Right of Landing Fee”, which needed to be filled-in and returned to CIC within 60 days of the receipt of the letter. The letter and application form were then forwarded to the client.
On 07th April 2014, the company received a notification from Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC), under the head “FEDERAL SKILL WORKER REFUND” for USD 550/- (United States Dollars Five Hundred and Fifty only), accompanied by a Demand Draft No. 997045310762, drawn on the Bank of America, dated 24th March 2014, and valid for 90 days, for an amount of USD 493.19/- (United States Dollars Four Hundred and Ninety Three and Nineteen Cents only) towards refund of Immigration Processing Fee from the Government of Canada.
The client refused to accept the draft and decided to explore further legal options to recover her monies spent on the process.

QUESTIONS RAISED BY THE CLIENT
1) The client would now like to know if her legal options are limited by her signing of the two Contracts of Engagement, one of which limited the scope of arbitration proceedings to Chandigarh, India, and the other, which limited the scope of arbitration proceedings to Dubai, UAE.
2) As a new act has been passed by the Government of Canada under which the in-process application of the client has been declared null and void as a decision on the application was pending at the time of the passage of the act, the client intends to know the available legal options, especially in light of the Clause No. 8 of the Contract of Engagement between the client and the second company.
3) How tenable is the argument that: the services provided by the company being professional in nature, the client is not entitled to a refund of any part of the fees paid by her to the company?
4) The client wishes to know the exact purpose for which the company collected USD 1400 (United states Dollars One Thousand and Four Hundred only). If this amount was collected towards the Immigration Processing Fees, then the client wishes to know:
a. If this entire amount collected in USD (1400) was forwarded to the High Commission of Canada by the company on behalf of the client, then is the client not entitled to the full refund of this amount on the basis of the statement in the letter of Citizenship and Immigration Canada dated 24th May 2013, that “The immigration processing fee(s) paid for your permanent residence application, and, if applicable, any Right of Permanent Residence Fee (RPRF), formerly called the Right of Landing Fee (ROLF), paid for your permanent residence application, must be returned to you by law.”
b. If this amount was forwarded in part to the High Commission of Canada by the company, then the client is of the opinion that the part which was with held by the company must be refunded to her forthwith.
5) The client feels that the clauses are very unilateral and that she deserves a full refund of the money as the application for Immigration under the Federal Skilled Worker Scheme has been refused after a long period of processing time for no fault of hers.

Fraud, Misguidance and Harrasment

By: Jr. admin

My complaint is against WWICS head office Mohali. In the month of April 2014, my sister applied for admission for SIAST in Canada. The employee of WWICS Mr, Puneet advised us to apply for Post Graduate diploma in Business Management. The course was for 8 months and he informed us that she will get one year work permit after completion of the studies. My sister paid 12,000 Rs. as their services charges and Rs. 9000 application fee for SIAST. But soon we came to know from our own sources that she will get only eight month work permit.. We immediately asked him to stop the admission procedure for SIAST and ask for the refund to SIAST……Anyhow we asked them to apply for Douglas college in Canada as there is a one year course in which she can get one year work permit after the completion of studies. Their employee Ms. Navjot informed us that WWICS has a tie up with Douglas college and they recieved Rs. 6500 from my sister as the application fee for Douglas College. When we asked her in how many days she will get the offer letter. She asked us to wait for 3 months more as she had applied and Douglas college take some time to issue offer letter. She also put pressure on us to apply for some other colleges also and to pay the application fee for that colleges also. She asked us to wait as the offer letter will come in the month of November. These all thing created doubt in our mind and we sent an email to Doulgas College. We were shocked when Douglas College informed us that it has no tie up with WWICS and the college has not received any application fee from WWICS The college also made clear to us that it will not work with WWICS in future also. We immediately asked them to withdraw our case and refund all the money which they have received. It is almost two months passed but even after so many visits at their office, they didn’t refund our money and few days back they asked us to take Rs. 5000 only and pressurized my sister to sign a consent letter in which it is mentioned that we will not take legal action against them. When she refused to sign the letter, they refused to pay anything.
It is a clear case of fraud, misguidance and harrasment. My sister missed her September session because of their misguidance and poor services. Please do something in this matter. Our time has already been wasted but we do not want to waste our money.

Immigration fees scam

Immigration fees scam

Hi
In April 2006 I have hired WWICS Ltd service to file for Canada Immigration. For their services they have taken 60,000 rupees in 2006 from me and until today they were keep telling me to keep patience and i will get positive response from Canada Immigration authorities one day.
Recently i have received letter from Canada Immigration authorities mentioning that all application filled before 2008 as getting cancelled as per there new amended law.
I have trying to connect with WWICS Chandigarh head office but no one is responding to me on my refund request. I am sure there will thousands of other sufferers who have been cheated by WWICS. Now when our application has been dropped by Canadian Immigration service, WWICS is avoiding repaying our money back.
We should get our money with interest as WWICS is holding it since 2006 which is fairly a long time. Moreover when our application is no more getting consider by Canadian Immigration authorities the WWICS has no legal right to keep our money as there counselling service for immigration file.

WWICS is keep telling me lie since 2006 that application processing is talking time but in reality application filed in 2006 were never put into consideration by Canadian authorities. When any company take fees for consultancy it is expected from them that they have specific field knowledge and will provide fair consultancy to their client. WWICS has charged me 60,000 rupees at that time and I really did not get any benefit out of it, as my application was never even put for consideration by Canadian authorities.
I have waited for 7 years for my application to process which is really a painful long time and in these 7 years WWICS regularly keep lying and saying they are in touch of Canadian authorities and we will get response on our application soon.

I donot want any compensation. What i want my 60,000 rupees should be returned to me with interest and some strict action should be taken against WWICS Ltd

For reference only- at time of filing immigration request, I was in Delhi, India in April 2006 but my current residence county in United Kingdom. I am in UK from my company assignment.
