Although not in Pune...sorry

But to be honest, I am in Brazil and E&Y in Canada, and this does not make any difference for me.

The process is very simple and you can manage it on your own without any consultants.

Is E&Y there in Pune or do i need to deal with them online?

From my personal experience..if you have time,can follow instruction which are pretty straightforward, and if your case is not complicated I would suggest doing all on your own. You know your situation more than the agency.

I took help of an agency in Pune and it was a nightmare. I was so irritated and frustrated about their services that I worked my file on my own..got nominated and have submitted my application. This forum is such a wonderful place you will be able to sail through. Good luck

hi can u name the agency in pune which made you feel so horrified? u may mail me at khatri.uday@gmail.com if you do not wish to disclose here

The process is fairly simple and straight forward. Try and go through the sticky threads in the first page of express entry forum and you will be able to gather almost all the information that you need. Unless your situation is tricky or complicated you can refrain from hiring a consultant. Moreover, you can always post your questions here and get your answers.

To the people who started blaming OP for his request:

Yes I agree with you the process of EE application is simple and straightforward to some of you but there is more to it. A small details can jeopardize your application.

you don't know what their circumstances are, perhaps they're afraid of this whole thing! Or they're in urgent need to move and don't want to make mistakes through their application. Perhaps their language skills are not so perfect, or they have special or a complicated case that doesn't apply to normal applicants! You never know!

OP gave you a set of a,b,c firms in Pune, so comment on your experience with them OR recommend a trustworthy one.

All the best

Fair enough if you put it that way.

I wouldn't recommend consultant because they charge ridiculous sums, most consultants refuse to manage WES process end to end and their processing time is high too, so getting a consultant doesn't guarantee good response time. But if you must, W W I C S and Y a x i s are both registered/recognized agencies that provide service PAN India and I know some people who have used these consultancies. W W I C S is comparatively more expensive but also provides post landing services among other things. Y a x i s assigns a case manager to your case, some are really professional and honest, others not so much. I would suggest speak to both companies about your requirement, be very clear you need end to end management (I believe Y A x i s provides support for WES too) and get a full break up of prices and services included. Then make your call based on that. I wouldn't recommend small/local consultants for this work, if you must go with an agency, go with those who have proven result and reputation.

Most of you have already given good reasons why consultants should not be chosen, I'll add real example-
My friend had applied via consultancy, they told him that he just needs 7 in all IELTS and then they will go for PNPs- his score got to be 380~ and even after inquiring number of times they kept telling him to wait as score were coming down and PNP were going to open etc.
When he got to know i am trying and received ITA, he called me up, then he realized that they kept him waiting on this for 8-10 months- instead he could have given IELTS and gotten better score!

Talking about lack of time, well if one really wants to they can take time over weekend to research and gather info, there are so many helpful people here on this forum who provide advise as well. (Did the same myself)

Having urgency- this is genuine reason for going to consultants, but unfortunately most of them (at least in Pune) are money minded, and want to do least of work (self- experience: went to 3-4 of them but all had same process: they will take money,yes, but it was upto us to collect everything properly and they will just file the documents on the portal).

If you feel the agency is genuine in helping you and not taking your money, please take their help and also recommend the name here as others will also require the same.

I second you on that ...
Its always better to do it all by yourself. No agency will know your life history better than you would ... It was tough for me initially but this forum and its members really helped me overcome my problems.

My friend is using y a x i s in India and has paid them a huge amount of money to them. He is in the pool since August 2016. He is 30, has a masters degree, 7 in all sections of IELTS, 3 years + work experience, his wife has a bachelors degree and 6 in all bands of IELTS and his agent says he has a CRS of 472 but he didnt get an ITA yet as CIC did not pic his NOC. CIC never does that.

I visited the same agent in London and they told me that my 7.5 in IELTS was great and made it sound like employers were waiting to give me jobs with LMIA and PNPs were waiting to nominate me. It sounded too good to be true and then I stumbled upon this forum and decided to do my own research.

Now, I am 30, have a CLB 10 in IELTS, 3 years + work experience, have a masters degree. My wife has a masters degree and a CLB 9 in IELTS and we have 472. We got an ITA within 6 days of entering the pool and have already submitted our application.

My friend says he has no time to work on his application. Everyone is busy and it depends on how much time you are willing to invest in your future. He has paid the agent more money to do a job search for him. I have tried to tell him how to improve his score with my own example as mine jumped from 412 to 472 just by improving my language scores.

It is your future and it is in your hands unless you want to pay someone to decide your future by paying ridiculous amounts of money.

Agents dont have a magic wand to give you PR easily.
