Welcome to Our New Website
Proud to be respected by a wide pool of multicultural clientele
Hundreds of service oriented companies/agents start in the UAE with big ambitions and a lot of pomp and show. However, it is no secret that several dozen companies shut down in UAE after 1-2 years of lost aspirations. Many fly by night operators are attracted by the diverse expatriate population & obvious notion of free flow of money in UAE. However, UAE's high operating costs catch up faster than these firms can earn. As a result we many would disappear with client's fees or dodge them for months, only to role their money forward to cover up for their badly planned finances. The list of the wrong doings is long, so we will not discuss here.
To survive and thrive in UAE since 1999, as an expatriate & UAE national partnership, one must have something special, something durable coupled with capability and ethic. We believe that our survival through the years and the recent downturn is owed to a few qualities we possess that we are proud to share with you:
Since 1999, We have processed hundreds of cases of expatriate clients from varied backgrounds and nationalities with a near perfect track record ( No, not 100% )
Since 1999, We have a strict policy of a detailed discussion and in depth Case Assessment before we say YES, we can do it. It adds to the time and cost but it has helped us weather the storm over the years and avoid unpleasant circumstances of unexpected refusals of our clients' visas.
Since 1999, We have not 'left anything to chance" or to say, ok, "lets just try and see". Clients are NOT 'guinea pigs" and we value everyone's time, future aspirations and emotions that people put behind crucial decisions to move to another country.
Since 1999, we don't have a queue of disgruntled clients knocking on our door and asking "where is my visa" or "give me my money back". Can you imagine the scenario, if we did ? Would we be in business for such a long time and, more importantly, at the same office location and with same phone coordinates ? Yes, there are refusals but only where the client had been indicated of the chances in advance. So no unpleasant surprises.
Since 1999, We are based at the same office location in Sharjah, with satellite locations in Dubai. Most of our clients take this as proof of solidity. Yes, some of you might ask why we have not expanded into a massive office in Dubai. But as explained, expansion is easy, maintaining a reputation of a consistent result oriented consultant is not easy. We have tried to preserve the latter and have decided not to expand at the expense or our valued client's future aspirations and hard earned money. Ultimately you, the client has to pay for your consultant's high overheads. We believe in the age old saying, " if your recipe is good, people will find you even in the smallest nook or alley of the city" Those of us who have been to Parathay Wali Gali in old Delhi would agree with me. I'm sure my Arab friends from Syria, Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Palestine also have some favorite places that are hard to reach, but making an effort to get there is well rewarded and totally worth it.
Since 1999, We have processed hundreds of skilled worker and investor visas for Canada over the period of our operations in UAE. Many of our investor clients vouch for our service and unique attitude of 'Say NO, if you know you cannot do it'. Fast fact : 238 European residency permits have been issued to our clients in 2014.
