In 2014 I use this company over the phone in UK they ask me to give my bank account I did as they will open my file and apply for my visa. I was young and didn’t know all this sham things. I went to their office they gave me hope that I will be eligible to go to canada. At the end they take monthly payment £600 and total £3000 from my account and did nothing. I was thinking to go to police by the time I believe they are not in the market.

I used this company in 2015 to help me get my cic working holiday visa for Canada. They said they would set up my profile etc and charged me €500. I forwarded them my documentation and all they did was tell me when the online lottery was available. That was it. €500 for an email. Hands up it was my own fault for paying for the service,I should have known I could have easily applied for the working holiday Visa myself and researched the company more. However, they still charged me €500 and all I got was an email to alert me that the window for setting up my visa profile was available. If you are applying for a visa for Canada or Australia, do it yourself or consult a reputable immigration lawyer DIRECTLY for support. Please don't make my mistake, keep your €500.

Not helpful at all! While applying for my working holiday visa they were not giving me correct information in order to prepare me for my arrival to Canada. I almost got turned away at the boarder for incorrect medical paperwork that they informed me was what I needed. They were charging me hundreds of pounds for no extra service or no extra information to help better my chances of getting approved a visa. You’re better off winging it or researching online /social media. OVERPRICED, NOT HELPFUL AND INCORRECT INFORMATION ABOUT MY TRAVEL VISA!!! I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone.

applying for my visa to Australia was fine, paying for it was fine, but when it came to sorting out my spouse visa I was lied to over and over again. Constantly changing 'advisers'being told I can't so my spouse visa in Australia when I can, refusing to allow me to pay for it. It was constant stories. Then being told they changed their name to visa alliance and the visamigrate office was permenantly closed. Now it's open again. Really unprofessional. Use at your peril

We hired them to help with Canadian migration .But 3 years down the line,we are still waiting.They rushed my wife into handing over the cash saying they would guarantee us Canadian migration and then nothing. We paid 2400 pounds in 4 monthly installments.After taking the money they avoid contact as possible.They changed their office address within no time.They changed the case workers more than i could remember.We have spend so much money and time for this whole canadian immigration process but three years down the line ' we are still waiting'.

Very pleased with the process. Only a few minor hiccups along the way but in the end we got the visas granted before we were suppose to get them. She was a really good help from start to finish.

If you value your money and your time, do not even attempt to go with VisaMigrate. The processes I had to go through in order to attain some of my money back, after cancellation, caused me serious anxiety and hampered my faltering trust in this so called company. VisaMigrate will intentionally withhold information when it comes to taking money from your account. I was assured before proceeding with them as a client, that my deposit covered me in case of a change of mind, and when I did change my mind, VisaMigrate for the following months, continued to take money from my personal bank account. When highlighting this issue to VisaMigrate, they assured me it would be resolved. I gave in to paying the hefty cancellation fee. Not long ago I discovered, even after my business was concluded, under a different name they took another large sum of money from my account without previous authorisation. I am currently attempting to get the money back with my bank. Do not go ahead with VisaMigrate. Do not trust them, and do not be fooled by their admittedly professional phone service. They will take your money and lots of it, and I cannot assure you they will provide a valuable service in return. Go through the embassy of the nation you wish to migrate to instead; these cheap, 'pop up' services cannot capably be trustworthy enough. Also, if you conclude business with VisaMigrate, immediately put a block on them on your account. I had to learn the hard way.

ive made the mistake of signing up with visamigration before looking further into them, i wanted extra help with the process to increase my chances of moving to canada. i was stung by the bloke who told me how 98% of applicants with them got a visa,but after reading reviews i quickly realised they are not good to deal with within hours of paying the £200 first installment i decided to cancel with them and change my bank details but visamigrate are asking me for a £120 cancellation fee.. does anyone know if this is legally binding or is it just another pointless peace of mind payment that is not legitimate please help

I hired them to help me with my Canadian Visa application. I didn't want to go for Visa Migrate as I read bad reviews but the person I dealt with convinced me by giving me a discount. He said they are trying to fix bad reputation. I paid £200 as first instalments. The next person I dealt with was dealing with me case but after I spoke to her once I found out she went on holiday. No one was responding for my Emails. Can't get ahold of her. They aint helpful. No answering the phones. Avoid!!!!

We are in "use" of this company and we have been fleeced £2400 for 1 ill informed phone call. They rushed my wife into handing over the cash saying they would guarantee us Canadian migration and then nothing. They have now said they have closed the case and wee need to pay another £3000 to continue it. Absolutely cheated out of our money (NO REFUNDS). Please keep your money and find another way.

We contacted Visamigrate-London for our Residence card application. The service was high quality and we were kept up to date. I got my Residence card, Thank you Visamigrate for the excellent service.The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable and immediately dealt with all my queries during the waiting period. Everything was done very professionally.

Thanks to all at visa migrate I got my visit visa within 24 hours yep I was extremely shocked to and at some point thought it was a joke, but I was proved wrong as it arrived as my case manager said it would and so once again many thanks Tamanna who was a great help and also thanks Shazan for introducing me to visa migrate.

We got the news that we were successful in our visa application yesterday and would like to thank our migration agent at visa migrate for the most professional service we could have wished for. We like most people chose to use a migration agent due to the complicated process and red tape involved. To be honest chose visa migrate blindly from the Internet search so wasn't sure what to expect. We had a tight time scale to get the application in due to skills select criteria which we weren't so sure we'd achieve at the beginning of the process. In our experience visa migrate were prompt and clear in replying to all our questions and cannot fault any advise given whatsoever. If you're serious about emmigrating then talk to visa migrate.

Informed me they could assist with recruitment, at no point was I contacted for this. They make promises to call you back with regards to information and assistance with recruitment but didn't. Having dealt with this business, I felt that they abused my trust; I didn't feel like they cared about helping me once they had received my funds. Do they not know that excellent customer service will mean that customers will promote the company to other friends and family? Obviously not. Really upset with this service. I wish someone had written a review like mine previously. AVOID THIS COMPANY AT ALL COSTS!!

Ok ….so like everyone, i am lost when it comes to official paperwork, so i looked around and found visamigrate, i looked at all their blurb and they looked very professional and after chatting with their charming sales team, i signed up.......that was my first mistake, the second was believing anything they said....so here in a nut shell is what visamigrate do and dont do be warned dont get suckered in like me!! they DO promise you everything, they DO tell you it will be sooooo simple, as they will do all the work, they Do make damn sure you're payments are taken on time, and they DO contact you very quickly if for any reason they are late, they DO seem to make very little noticeable progress on your case until ALL of the fee has been collected,oh theyll tell you there is but nothing seems to happen till that last payment is in!! thats when the delays start!!!! thats when they DONT answer your e mails for weeks, they DONT seem to do any work on your case, they DONT seem follow up on things, they definitely DONT give you updates or progress reports unless you ask, a feel they DONT really care if you get a visa or not, as they already have their money, then, if you push them AS I DID... promise a refund..BUT it will NOT be what they said on the phone in the beginning or anywhere close, they will simply point you at the terms and conditions you signed, and make out like they are doing you a favour by giving any refund at all!,, then they WILL stall and stall in giving you that tiny refund, in fact at time of writing, i still hadn't had mine. in short these people will promise you everything, they will say that reviews like mine (and there are others just like this) are just from people who failed the system, or are disgruntled in some other way, they told me this on the phone, OH I WISH I HAD JUST LISTENED TO THE PEOPLE WHO WROTE REVIEWS LIKE THIS!!!! DUE TO MY OWN EXPERIENCES I SAY THIS....STAY AWAY FROM VISAMIGRATE..........YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

hi, i cancelled cos they had not fulfilled their end of the contract, ie they did not get me even close to residency even though they say they do not take money if its a no go situation....well they do tell you you have a great chance even if you dont, to cut a long story short, i got 800 £ back, but from the 2400£ that i paid it was way less than half, so basicly they charged me 1600£ to fill in some online forms which i could have done for free, they have to give you a refund, trouble is most people wont push for it, keep on at them and get your money back, i am still in the process of trying to get the rest back, but if they dont pay, i will just keep on warning people off from them.

Hello,
Thanks a lot for your warning.
I recently started the process with them. My mistake, I signed the terms and conditions. I paid them initial 400£
So far, no job was done and I was provided with wrong information.
Right now, I want to quit with the company and get my 400 back as refunnd as the process hasn't started yet. they haven't created a profile and no actual job was done apart from sending me an automaticly generated email.
However, the phone conversation with the case manager and the email is counted as they begun the process. The refused to refund 400£ and on top of that they try to charge me additional 800£ for cancelling the case with them.
I can't see the reason why I should pay them 1200£. What for? Automaticly generated email?
Please, advise what can I use as a reason to terminate the contract with them.
Thanks in advance,

hi sorry they got you too, they are crafty buggers, they wont lift a finger to do anything until all the money is paid, like i said they tell you its all going well but in fact its not going anywhere.....
they eventually refunded me 800, and they said it was a good will gesture, i only got that because i emailed them and called them nearly everyday and told them that i was going to try and warn others of their sharp practice, i was told originally by the smooth salesman that they would refund all but a nominal fee for work done, i think it was 100 but that was a lie too, you will be lucky to get your money back and for gods sake dont pay them a penny more!!!! you could try the fsa financial services association or the relevant body ho oversee these things, the more people like you and i who bring this to light the better the case is....but at the very least your reply backs up my review and hopefully we can save others from these gutless sharks who prey on peoples dreams promise the earth but only deliver the mud!

I highly recommend VisaMigrate to everyone, thank you for all you have done!
