About Kansas Overseas Careers
The first issue we found surrounding Kansas Overseas Careers is the confusion regarding its name. At first, we were not sure whether we were reviewing a job placement website or an immigration company. This was clarified when we visited the “About US” page in very very small text, mentioning: “ Kansas Overseas Careers is a visa service provider & not any placement agency. We do not deal in any kind of direct placements/jobs. However, for clients registering for immigration, we provide resume writing & job search assistance as complimentary service.” The Indian company has offices all over the country. You can find them in:
- Bangalore;
- Chennai;
- Hyderabad;
- Thane;
- Vizag; and
- Secunderabad
In this review, we will simply refer to them as Kansas Overseas Careers.
Services
The company processes Canadian visa applications and also assists clients to find jobs in Canada. If you are looking to apply to a Canadian university, they will help you with the application process. Unfortunately, their evaluation service comes with a fee. If your application is unsuccessful, Kansas Overseas Careers’ promises to refund you if you meet certain conditions. They have extensive Terms and Conditions, Disclaimer, Privacy and Cancellation, and Refund Policies.
Kansas Overseas Careers Website
Next, our Kansas Overseas Careers review took a look at their website, which provides all the information that you need to immigrate to Canada. They have accurate information for those who want to migrate to Canada. We liked that they provide very specific information on the provincial nominee program for each Canadian province however it is not user-friendly as you would have to scroll through the entire page to find information regarding the particular province you are interested in. Other areas of their service include:
-
Permanent residence Visa;
-
Travel Visa;
-
Retirement Visa;
-
Family Visa;
-
Study Visa;
-
Business Visa;
-
Express Entry; and
-
Provincial Nominee Programs.
Be careful of about their claims that they have a 97% success rate with immigration and that they are foreign students’ favorite choice for studying abroad. It is a marketing trick used to bring them more customers. There is no proof on their website that shows this to be true. The company works with, “independent ICCRC consultants to provide authentic immigration services”. We think this is a little worrying because we could not check if these consultants are registered with the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC). People are often scammed out of their money by people who claim to be part of the ICCRC. This is why it is important to be able to check if consultants are actually registered. Thankfully the firm has a fantastic privacy policy that you can trust. They also have a long terms and conditions page that is definitely worth looking at.
Other Services
We enjoyed reading some of the excellent content on their website. The site is filled with interesting information like how to raise your Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) points and includes practice tests for the International English Language Training System (IELTS). The site has a news section and a blog that often posts useful articles however the blog was last updated on March 2019. The company has a long list of useful questions and answers on their FAQ page. Kansas Overseas Careers also provides immigration services to Australia and Hong Kong.
User Reviews
On their website, there is a long list of testimonials. Each one of these only praises their services. This is a warning sign because the company can choose which reviews get to be shown and no one would put negative reviews on their own website.
Social Media
Their Facebook page has 29,800 followers, which is a reasonable amount. Though they regularly post on their newsfeed, it seems that they have disabled the review option of the page. It seems as if the firm does not want you to see what people think of their services. The good thing is that they do respond to comment however sometimes it can take up to 24 hours. On Twitter, they have even fewer followers, a grand total of 66 with only 474 tweets since they joined in 2015. They tweet quite often, but the content doesn’t reach enough users. Their LinkedIn page has 428 followers and has regular posts uploaded on its feed. The Pinterest account has a great reach with over 1.8k views every month even though it only has 29 followers.
Conclusion
To conclude our Kansas Overseas Careers review the company itself has a lot to offer. We loved all the detailed information on their website and it really seems like they know exactly how to immigrate to Canada. Their expertise on immigration, privacy policy, terms and conditions, and refund policy leads us to believe that they can be trusted. It worries us that they do not say who their immigration consultants are, seeing as this is often an indication of immigration fraud. Overall we, at Canadian Visa Review, recommend using this company with caution.
