I accept that lots of people on this site have told others to steer clear of them, but that doesn't appear to have been based on personal experience, but because of what they have read online.

I also accept that I might be wrong ........ which is why i said this was the first positive comment that I had read on this site.

You have your experience, I have mine!


I still maintain that no consultant can get you into Canada if you do not already have the qualifications, and that you have to collect all the information together for the consultant.

I guess it is personal preference as to whether the consultant is worth several thousand pounds over and above the other costs ......... or whether you can actually get the job interviews yourself, with a little bit of work!

And as a reminder, an Immigration Consultant (or an agency) can't charge you for finding you work.

There are quite a lot of posts that I've read over the years. The most memorable one for me was a forum member, Spaceace, who was rejected because Brazolot had incorrectly calculated his FSW points. He lost his application fee etc and had to apply again further down the line (did it by himself that time though and was successful!). As a FSW points calculation is fairly basic for an immi consultant to get right, I think that's pretty appalling personally.

So I may never have used them myself, but after seeing the 'advice' they've given to others over the years (whilst working for another consultant, and working alongside Brazolot at expos etc), I personally couldn't recommend them.

I think he lost around $1400 or something. There was someone else who had paid a deposit and then been hounded for further payments from Brazalot group even though they hadn't yet done anything. I think they were getting threats of legal action if I remember right.

I can remember when people were advised to use Mr. Miller and Mr. Wildy by posters on here. Look how that turned out.

I would simply suggest that they do their own research and make their decisions based upon that.

Yes, IIRC they wanted to cancel their agreement prior to any works being undertaken and there was a clause in the contract that stated that the fee was due regardless. It was around £3500... I'm not sure what the outcome was.
