I've got an interview with Brazolot group in a few weeks to see if they can helps us get to Canada. They have sent us a consultation contract to sign, we haven't decided if we want to use them yet so is it safe to sign this?

NO, just do a search for the company name on here, and do some Google searches, do'nt waste your money.

What he said. ^^^^

A quick search will tell you why signing won't be a good idea! No immi consultant can help you get there, you're either eligible or you're not. A good immi consultant will just help you with the form filling etc, but unless you've got complicated circumstances (criminal record, medical issues etc), then there's really no need to pay anybody to help you.

Good luck!

Depends what it says... If it is just a standard storage of personnel information disclaimer then it should be ok, if it is signing you up to use them to represent you then no I would not sign. if after the consultation you feel they will offer value for the services they provide then sign up if that is the way you want to handle things.


General opinion on this site if that these agencies don't add much value if you are reasonably literate in English (or French). Especially if you are doing a straight forward application.

I wouldn't sign anything for that company, personally, regardless of what it is - and nor would I go to the consultation (for which they normally charge a fee, by the way).

If the OP feels the need to use an Immigration Consultant (and one who doesn't charge exhorbitant fees)) there are many reputable ones that have been mentioned on this site and others.

Bargepole and touch not, spring to mind with regards to brassalot.

We met them at an event in the UK. Filled out initial assessment then scheduled Skype meeting. They were going to charge us thousands of pounds at each stage of application. We didn't go any further and have used this forum instead which has been amazing. We are now at stage of going over in the summer, have a job offer secured by ourselves.
They were going to guide us through the process but you will see on here you can ask anything you need to and it wont cost you anything 😊

10 ft barge pole comes to mind. The only reason to normally need immigration advice is if you have a complicated situation and in most of those cases you need an immigration attorney who is capable of interpreting and arguing points of law.

I know this is a week old but we met them 8 years ago at an expo and got a 20 quid quick consult with them. The best thing that happened was that both of us weirdly forgot our wallets otherwise we were ready to sign over 5k+ with them. Instead for the price spent we learnt that yes were we eligible to apply and and from there onwards I used only this forum to complete our application form. We've been in Canada for 6 years. Good luck!
