Being fed up with false commitments and poor services, some clients of One immigration Consultancy Services, have knocked the doors of Consumer Court for justice. The firm has been ordered to refund the charged amount with interest to its client. The clients got some relief from this decision The company has failed to provide any better services to the clients. These clients are asserting that they were taken in by the full-page, glossy mis-leading advertisements of the company which led them into believing without going through their bonafides. Some of these clients are even waiting for about 3 - 4 years who were promised to send abroad within 1½ - 2 years. When the clients demanded their money, the company asked for large deductions from the total amount paid. In addition, instead of refunding the money, the company was demanding more money from their clients which is a fraud. The clients are harrassed by the company mentally and financially. The company is headed and staffed by retired army officers to lend credence to their manipulation activities.

The consumer court order includes:
"The opposite party did not give any assistance to the complainant"
"Amount has been received from the complainant in a fradulent manner to fleece an innocent persons."
"Opposite Party is not deficient in any manner in performing its duty."
"Opposite party has also failed to show how the opposite party is in a position to help/procure visa for immigration for any person from India to Canada. If the opposite party has no authority to get visa/immigration for any person from India to Canada, the opposite party has no right to proclaim to be a competent to do so, and on this proclaimation, charging of the amount from innocent persons with promise of immigration to Europian/American country, we are of the view that the opposite party is deficient in not providing promised service and also in not refunding the amount charged on failing to do so."
"The complaint is accordingly allowed. The opposite party is directed to refund to the complainant the total amount paid with interest at the rate of 9% p.a. from 26/3/2003 (date of filing of the complaint) till date of payment is made. Costs of litigation is assessed at Rs. 500/-".

The clients insisting that Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) does not require the applicant to have a representative. CIC has tried to make application kits as simple as possible so that one can complete them oneself. CIC treats all applicants equally and does not provide preferential service to applicants with representatives.

CIC asserts - "Beware of representatives who claim that you will get a visa, obtain citizenship or benefit from special treatment from the Canadian government by using their services. CIC is not associated with any representatives."

Guys,

I needed to remove references of Immigration Consulting Firm from above text, as they asked me to do so.

In future please avoid using direct names as far as possible.

Thanks.

a bit of legal advice on defamation and libel laws:

You can publish the names as long as you are reporting/publishing facts. In future, just get the poster to provide you with solid proof or else you'll have to moderate.

So, if the immigration agency are really subject to the above court order, then you need not worry. In fact you are fulfilling your duty to educate and enlighten people. Don't be intimidated by anyone!

Besides, views expressed in a public forum are not yours and that should be enough to protect you as an individual who owns this site.

Well said

Thanks Massood for the clarification.

Being new in Canada, I am extra careful handling such issues. I know you and other members are there to support CanadianDesi and me , so that way I am confident, but at this time to go on legal controversy might not good for me.
