Hi oommenku, applying for Work visa or Permanent Residence for Canada and Australia is quiet easy and straight forward. As brit said, it would be better for you if you apply on your own. This was you will be saving close to 9000 Qr. Moreover, WWICS is a good consultancy firm, they don't cheat and they deal with respect but again they don't do anything special. They will simply follow the rules and guidelines set by the Government. So if you think you have time and energy to do this on your own then you should. But if you are working from 7 to 5 and i dont think it will be easy for you to come home and start the application process. So you should decide whether you have time and energy to do this because its not difficult just time consuming.

Moreover i don't agree with molten, what you said in your comments is simply judging them over someones biased opinion. I was in UK for 2 years and now in Canada so i know information first handed. While opportunities for jobs may not be suffieceint in numbers but its not like gulf here. Here you can do any job for any amount of time. You are not bound to your "sponsor" to serve him till hes done with you. People in UK and Canada are driving Taxis as they earn more money this way and their timings are flexible. I asked a chemical engineer driving a Taxi in Toronto and he told me that he worked as an engineer for 1 year before driving a Taxi and now hes earning double the amount with flexible hours and days. So kindly dont judge the whole nation or the whole country solely based on your or somebody's opinion.

UK is a very friendly country, they respect each other and i also heard stories about them but they were all false when i witnessed the country myself. I never felt so welcome before. And now i am in Canada, these people will frustrate you with their kindness and friendliness. They respect you and deal with you like you are their own so forget about getting hit by them, they wont even talk bad to you.
oommenku asked for advice on whether he should use consultancy firm or not. So, brother bottom line is that the process is very easy and straight forward but it needs your time and energy and if you think you can manage it then definitely go ahead and do it yourself it will save you alot of money. And here is a little trick, just go and visit WWICS anytime, they will do the assessment of your profile and will tell you in detail what to do and how much score you need on your IELTS. The best thing is that their assessment is totally free. This will help you a lot in making your decision. Good luck and let me know if you need any more information. Just PM me and i will share my number with you.

I am not saying whole UK is welcoming or whole Canada is friendly but they are far far better in manners then ****.
