About Xiphias Immigration
Xiphias Immigration is an India-based immigration company that specializes in the immigration process to various countries, including Canada. In the Contact Us page, the company states that it has offices in Bangalore, New Delhi, Mumbai and Pune in India. They also have branches in UAE, Canada, Europe, Hong Kong, USA and the UK. They claim to be one of the “leading immigration companies, providing premier personalized advice” to their clients. We take a closer look to see how valid these bold claims are.
Website & Services
The website design seems to be well thought out with a clean and simple design that is easy to navigate. We also appreciate that the website is secure as clients are expected to enter sensitive information on the website. The immigration and visa pages are relevant and provide a good amount of information about most of the major programs and visas. Their services include immigration, study, business and investors, tourist visas and work permits. According to the website, Xiphias Immigration can assist clients to immigrate to many different countries such as the U.K, the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Hong Kong. But Xiphias has more to offer - you will also find more countries to immigrate to, including Taiwan, Singapore, Ireland, Greece, Portugal, and Spain. Canadian immigration is handled by an RCIC consultant, Mehrani Payman, who's RCIC number is R511781.
Xiphias also offers value added services such as free 30 minute online consultations as well as IELTS support. We really appreciated their testimonials page as it allows clients to leave their comments, which assures us that they are not just selected positive reviews or false testimonials.The reviews are mostly positive except for one negative comment where a client complained about not being able to reach their consultant. The only comment we would make is that they don’t always respond to the comments on the testimonial page. The website has a blog which is updated regularly with relevant immigration information. The website also has a terms and conditions, refund and privacy policy, which means that clients can rest assured that their personal information will be kept safe.
Memberships
The company is a member of the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulation (ICCRC), Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) as well as the Office of Migration Agents Registration Authority (MARA) which deals with Australian immigration. Xiphias Immigration has every client’s best interests at heart and prior to accepting a case, the company will review your credentials to ensure that you stand a reasonable chance of being accepted by the Canadian Government. According to the website, the company does not take anyone’s money if the client does not meet the requirements, which is understandable. Of course, no one can guarantee a visa, as it is up to the Canadian Government to make the Visa decision, but what happens if you do not get a visa or change your mind about immigrating? The company has guidelines from the ICCRC and MARA in regards to any refund policy and they follow these guidelines for their clients after signup.
Social Media
There are social media links that can be found at the top of each page on the website and they all work. The social media presence for Xiphias Immigration is quite good. The Facebook page has over 264,000 likes and it has regular posts regarding immigration. Their reviews page is active and all reviews are positive, scoring a 5 out 5, which is exceptionally high for a review. Their Twitter account has a mere 133 followers and the post seemed to stop in February for some reason although all the posts are relevant. There is a LinkedIn account that has the same information as Facebook. They have a decent following of 3,073 with an average user interaction. Their Instagram account has 325 followers with minimal user interaction but useful immigration information.
Conclusion
We believe that Xiphias is a credible company that will provide you with the service you deserve.
