Pinoys2Canada is a Canadian immigration consultancy that is based in Pasig City in the Philippines. The company provides immigration services to Filipinos for both temporary and permanent residency in Canada. Unfortunately, we could not find out when the company was created, who they employ or who owns it.
 

The company’s website is easy to navigate. Their content about immigration programs is useful and goes into a lot of detail. We liked that the company offers free online assessments to their clients. We are unfortunately disappointed at the fact that the website is not secure as this leaves you open to third party attacks from hackers. We noticed that Pinoys2Canada also has a page dedicated to their partners. These companies seem to be linked to IELTS courses, volunteer work, and even job services. The company has a news blog feature that we enjoyed. The only problem is that many of the latest articles they published are news articles from last year, for example, the article that talks about Dependents came out in May in 2017, but the company only published it in June 2018. Though this is not a huge issue, there may be problems if the business does not keep up to date on Canadian immigration news. The last post was also updated nearly a year ago and needs to be kept up to date regularly. Another problem we came across was that we could not find the company’s Terms and Conditions, Refund or Privacy Policy. These documents are meant to help protect both the company and the customer from fraud or misuse.
 

They offer services for:

• Atlantic Pilot Program;
• Business Visas;
• Canadian Experience Class;
• Express Entry
• Provincial Nominee Program;
• Investor Visas;
• Student Visas;
• Visitor Visas;
• Work permits

Though the company says that it is a Canadian immigration consultancy, we could not find any RCICs (Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants) hired at the company. There is no mention of their names or if the company used immigration lawyers that are authorized, representatives. Only legal immigration lawyers and RCICs can offer paid immigration services. If you apply with someone who is not qualified, the Immigration Refugee and Citizenship Canada can deny your application.

 

The company has a really large following on Facebook of 153,663 people. The reviews on the company also seem to be really positive, although we did notice that many of the reviews were comments about wanting to live in Canada rather than the services of Pinoys2Canada. They post often enough on their page yet it seems that they are not really responsive on messenger where they take up to a day to reply. There are also users that the company does not reply to at all. This does not give the company the best image. In comparison, the company has a more modest following on Twitter compared to Facebook, with 393 followers. The business also seems less active on their account having last posted on March 2018. Most of their posts are about customer reviews and there is some mention of immigration information. There does not seem to be any interaction between the customers and the company on Twitter. The company’s Instagram has a small following of 904. Here they post about successful clients getting their Canadian visas and very few posts about immigration, Express Entry draws and policy changes. We did find other reviews that talked about issues customers had with the “free evaluation” offered by the company however most google reviews were positive.
 

Pinoys2Canada seems to have a lot going for it. It has a user-friendly site, free evaluation services, along with basic content about certain immigration programs, but there are issues. Missing documents like a Privacy Policy, Terms and Conditions, and Refund policies are a major problem. There is also the problem that we could not find the authorized representative on the company site. We could not prove that the company hires either an immigration lawyer or that they have approved RCICs. It does help that the company seems to have a lot of positive reviews about their services. Although, the lack of customer interaction and the company’s posting do not support this image. We would suggest caution if you do hire their services. Request information about their consultants before you do any payments to make sure your application will not be in any danger of being rejected by the IRCC. Had any experience with this company?
