Re: canada/ willis brazolot&co
Hi,
We are with WB&Co, we are at the stage of waiting for our PPR. It did make me a little jittery when I read the article though as due to Chris Willis leaving the company, we had signed over to Dennis Brazolot :eek: We too have have Heather as our advisor and have to agree that she (and her co-workers) have been nothing but professional :thumbup: Lets hope they manage to sort this out without it affecting their clients :fingerscrossed: Binty |

well nothing for them to worry about here :D
So if they do look at this forum, they're probably breathing a huge sigh of relief that they've finally got some positive reviews on here! ;) |

So if they do look at this forum, they're probably breathing a huge sigh of relief that they've finally got some positive reviews on here! ;) As for WB prices, yes they are expensive, but there are no hidden costs and every cost is detailed and made clear before you sign up (it certainly was with us - we were under no illusions as to how much it would cost!) - if you find them too expensive after signing up then surely thats down to your own lack of research or reading? There are a lot of different prices quoted by different agents - some significantly lower and im sure there will be some significantly higher - thats life, or business. My search for an agent wasnt based on price - my dislike of 'smart price' beans has coloured my opinions of all things 'no frills' :o All i could ever recommend anyone do is to speak to the agents and form your own opinion. Look carefully at what they offer and they price they are offering their services at. If necessary, ask how they justify a higher price. Email agents asking them questions. Base your decision on this information - with of course an eye on any opinions on forums to give it balance. |

Good news doesnt generally make news and unfortunately, and pretty much unintentionally, forums can give a biased view of a situation. Yes forums are an excellent source of information but it cannot give full perspective.

I agree before wb i went to london at this other company had a meeting with them the guy i spoke to on the phone was not able to meet me suprise suprise. Them guess what a salesman from the company kindly stepped in is place and was really bustin my chops about payment straight away. I nearly paid £6000 when i 1st looked into canada with this mob. Luckly for me i had the sense to spend £100 flying to london to see them. As it saved me a lot of money what a joke this lot where. So what i am tryin to say is there is always somethiing deep down telling you weather to go for it or not. And i got the go for it with wb. |
Re: canada/ willis brazolot&co
Have you tried asking for your money back?
See if it kicks them into gear :) |

Well im certainly not. It certainly hasnt affected the company as far as we are concerned - lets face it - half of BT bosses (or powergen, or skytv get the picture?) could be up to god knows what and it doesnt make the slightest difference to us - they had a situation and they dealt with it - end of story really? We paid our money to willis brazolot and are glad we did - yes its expensive - but at least we knew things were being done right - and they were. Our passports - with canadian visa stamped in them - are being couriered back to us as i type (hopefully arrive tomorrow) - and i certainly consider it to have been well worth the money - the whole emigrating process is stressful enough without having to worry about whether or not you have done the paperwork right etc - they have been nothing but professional and extremely helpful every step of the way - and a bonus is they were very friendly too - i can certainly recommend it!
My husbands job is plumbing & heating, He has been emailing companies direct and has a few interviews in June. W&B are expensive, but they have done everything for us & without their help I think we would have given up on our Canadian dream a long time ago! |

I agree with Lyn & John, we used W&B, they have been fantastic, nothing is too much trouble for them. We received our passports with visas last month & going out to Alberta in June to get them stamped to become official permanent residents, we hope to move out there by the end of the year.

Re: canada/ willis brazolot&co
Yep WB did the job for us, lined up some interviews with some smaller companies I would have never found and we are now PR and I work for BP Canada gas so no complaints from us, they even sent flowers to our new house when we got our PR which was only 5 months after we landed.
