Deceptive and Exploitative – Strongly Advise Against
Canada IMS has shown a clear pattern of dishonest and exploitative behavior. I was repeatedly and unexpectedly asked to pay more and more money — totaling $7,889 USD — with each new charge excused by vague claims of internal “department fees,” administrative costs, or government charges. I was eventually told in writing that I had paid in full and nothing more would be required.
Yet months later, they demanded an additional $4,500, citing supposed new visa-related government fees. When I asked for clear answers, they dodged the question entirely and refused to clarify the issue.
Their communication is evasive, their commitments meaningless, and their practices borderline fraudulent. After checking Trustpilot, it’s obvious I’m not alone — this company has a pattern of manipulating clients for more money under false pretenses. In my opinion, Canada IMS should be investigated for deceptive business practices.
Avoid at all costs.

Potential scam avoided !
I had reacted to an internet ad of the company, which looked serious. It asked for personal information “to check eligibility” (age, profession, nationality, marital status, personal data, etc). Having filled in the requested information, I received an email stating “Eligibility – Confirmed – Your invitation is available for a limited time”. I did not press the “View your invitation” button. Instead, a few days later, I was contacted on my mobile from a Vancouver phone number (1-778-654-3379) at around 3am (PacificDaylight Time) by an eloquent, friendly and obviously native English speaking guy. He asked me for further personal information (as well as information I had already provided) to check my “eligibility”. He pretended to consult “the system” and came back half a minute later to confirm my eligibility. However, to progress further he asked me to now pay a fee of “only” €347. When I asked him to send me this request via email, he refused to do so, pointing at their website for all general information. Fortunately, while talking to him, I had opened this Trustpilot website. Thank you guys for providing these warnings! When I said to the guy that I had to leave for another call, he warned me that he could not keep the invitation open, and I might lose my eligibility. Didn’t really sound trustworthy any more!

Am so angry and heartbroken…
Am so angry, heartbroken and disappointed with myself, I spent almost $10,000 and they are demanding more. Canadaims is taking advantage of desperate individuals like us with dreams…
It was late 2022 when my brother called me to give this information, obtained from a person of faith. Spoke to this person of faith who was with my brother in his car and said if you want to re-allocate to Canada, contact them & they will make it happen, they’re good and swift, in no time you will be in Canada!
I never thought a 2nd to check their reviews. My first payment was on 2023-07-30,
I was initially alarmed by their constant asking of payments, I kept paying them because of assurance I got from that person of faith, my mind was glued that it is coming from a reliable, trusted source therefore never questioned its legitimacy. And I have paid them 13 times.
I should have come here & see their reviews.
To everyone out there please don’t be stupid like me, check the reviews before committing to your hard, earned money…
Am demanding my money back! Anyone who has received their money back?

I’ve been dealing with this company for a few years now every time they call it’s a payment needed which I did. Every time they say you at the final stage. Received a call for another $3000 for again my “final stage” I’ve invested so much in this, if this is a scam can one take things further. My next payment is due the 26 May. Please can someone assist.

These people are unreal
These people are unreal, I got completely scammed. I lost a lot of money I am so ashamed. I have been with them for nearly 9 months. I realised something was wrong when, despite having lots of points I still hadn’t been called. I must start the process all over again. I am disgusted. Please AVOID. DO NOT lose your money like I did.

I wish I had read the reviews on this…
I wish I had read the reviews on this website. They offer nothing more than filling out your CRS profile which you can do for free. They offer lots of pathways which are all available to you anyway. please save your money and do it yourself
Ask them if they are doing anything more than just filling out your CRS profile.

AVOID AVOID AVOID
Fake company, only out to get your money. I initially started the immigration process with them asking to get a working visa for a trip. When I got a call back after I sent my documents, they started talking to me about a permanent residency… not what I was after so first red flag. They constantly push you for money, any reputable immigration firm will not take any money from you before paperwork is finalised and approved for a visa. I unfortunate gave my card details, and have since heard nothing back from them after saying I will not be continuing with their services… shock. Can’t stress enough how much you should avoid this company

Absolute Scam
Absolute Scam, called me today with a very strange Indian accent, as a german you can hear that too 🙂
The guy asked me a lot of things but nothing about my idea to move to Canada, after a few minutes he asked me about my credit-card. That was the point, I realized that this BS is a fraud. Don’t do business with these Bast…

SCAM and highly UNPROFESSIONAL. Not a SERIOUS company which calls you all the time!!
Please refrain from contacting me during inappropriate hours, such as midnight or other inconvenient times!!!! Please do not disturb me with your different calls anymore!!!! Any reputable company should avoid calling clients at such times! Please be mindful of time differences between continents when planning calls.
As a result of this experience, I will not be relying on your company for any further consultations or services and will not advice any other to do so !!!!!!

Dont Trust this company
Here’s an edited version of your review:

Absolutely scammers! I started dealing with them in 2022. Initially, they requested a small registration fee, followed by a demand for a much larger amount, claiming that if I didn’t pay, my application would be stopped. When I asked for a contract or an office address, they gave me vague excuses, citing “security reasons” for not providing their location.
I then asked for a refund, but they refused, stating that the money was for their “services.” They even demanded an additional $1,000 to continue! I had already paid three times and only received one assessment in return. To make matters worse, their phone number kept changing to different country codes, but it was always the same voice and person using different names!
Do not trust this company!

STAY AWAY FROM CANADAIMS SCAMMER
The legitimacy of this organisation is questionable. Upon submitting my personal information, I promptly received an email asserting that I satisfy the criteria set by the Canadian government, a claim that struck me as dubious. It seems implausible that merely providing my name and phone number would suffice to fulfil all prerequisites for obtaining a visa. Subsequently, I was contacted by a woman who introduced herself as the manager, instructed me to disregard the initial email, and insisted on an upfront payment for the application process. When I requested a detailed explanation of the procedures via email prior to making any payments, she abruptly terminated the call.

Straight up scammers
Straight up scammers. After enquiring and being told on their website I was already approved,
Today I got a call from them. Didn’t give a name but a strong Indian accent. I asked for credentials and she said it could be found on their “official website”. I asked if they were affiliated with any other organisation and she said “Canadian government”.
I said I would want to confirm who they are before proceeding further and she then started talking over me. I then said I would pursue my inquiry with the Canadian consulate direct and then I could hear another person say in the background “good luck with that” and they hung up.
Obviously a very unprofessional bunch of scammers. Just avoid.

Canada immigration Scam
Scammers. I entered valid information, then on a separate device, completely outrageous info. Both accepted me for expedited entry to Canada, and asked for credit card details. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
Below are the analyze and conclusion of us about above reviews
The first piece of content is a company introduction. This is marketing material and self-promotion, so it doesn’t offer an unbiased view of the company’s credibility. It should be taken with a grain of salt, as it’s designed to portray the company in the most favorable light.
Review 1 (Bex Shin): This review is extremely negative, detailing a significant financial loss ($7,889 USD) due to unexpected and escalating fees. The reviewer alleges deceptive practices, evasive communication, and borderline fraudulent behavior. They also claim to have found similar complaints on Trustpilot, indicating a pattern of manipulating clients for money. The reviewer strongly advises against using Canada IMS and suggests a formal investigation. This review raises serious red flags regarding the company’s ethical and financial practices. The specific details of unexplained fees and the alleged demand for additional funds months later significantly damage the company’s credibility.
Review 2 (Ralf-B): This reviewer suspects a scam and describes receiving unsolicited contact after filling out an online form. The reviewer was contacted via phone at an unreasonable hour and pressured to pay a fee upfront without receiving a detailed request via email. The reviewer’s suspicion was heightened when the caller insisted on immediate payment to secure eligibility and the use of pressure tactics. The reviewer’s decision to check Trustpilot during the call and subsequently avoid further engagement suggests a potentially fraudulent operation. This highlights aggressive and potentially dishonest sales tactics.
Review 3 (Fungai Mkwawa): This review is a heartfelt account of losing nearly $10,000 with Canada IMS and being asked for more money. The reviewer expresses anger, heartbreak, and self-disappointment for not checking reviews earlier. The reviewer’s trust was misplaced in a “person of faith” who initially recommended the service. The sheer amount of money lost and the feeling of being taken advantage of strongly suggest a negative experience and raises significant concerns about the company’s business practices. The repeated payments without satisfactory progress point towards a potential scam.
Review 4 (sarah booysen): This reviewer reports dealing with the company for years and continuously being asked for payments, each time supposedly for the “final stage.” The continued demand for money without achieving the stated goal is a major red flag. The feeling of being trapped after investing a significant amount is a common characteristic of scam operations. The reviewer’s plea for assistance indicates a high level of frustration and suspicion.
Review 5 (Sandra Morgan): This review is brief but direct, stating that the reviewer spent over £9,000 with no progress on their emigration application. The reviewer explicitly labels the company as “Scammers” and is considering legal action. This concise, negative assessment adds to the growing pattern of financial loss and lack of service associated with Canada IMS.
Review 6 (Hélène Coulaud): This reviewer expresses feeling completely scammed and ashamed of losing a lot of money after nine months of working with the company. The lack of progress despite having sufficient points, as well as the need to restart the process, suggests incompetence or fraudulent behavior. The direct warning to “AVOID” reinforces the negative sentiment.
Review 7 (Mr Ovid): This is a very short and direct statement, labeling the company as a “Scam” and warning others to “stay away they will steal your money.” While brief, it reinforces the negative consensus found in the other reviews.
Review 8 (Shannon Mawande): This reviewer simply states “Scam Scam Scam,” conveying a strong and unambiguous negative experience with the company.
Review 9 (Amerjit Shergill): This review indicates that the company charges for services that can be done for free. The reviewer advises others to save their money and handle the application process themselves. This suggests that the company’s value proposition is questionable and that they may be exploiting individuals seeking assistance with immigration.
Review 10 (Julia Costa): This review alleges that the company stole money (€389.00) from the reviewer’s husband’s bank account after he only requested information. The reviewer claims that when they called to request a refund, the company hung up. This is a serious accusation of theft and extremely unethical behavior.
Review 11 (Noname): This review describes the company as “fake” and only interested in getting money. The reviewer states that they were pressured into pursuing permanent residency instead of the working visa they initially sought. The demand for money before finalizing paperwork is highlighted as a red flag, and the lack of communication after refusing to continue services further damages the company’s credibility.
Review 12 (Dennis Weidenhagen): This reviewer describes a suspicious phone call from someone with a strong accent who asked for credit card information without discussing the reviewer’s immigration plans. The reviewer recognized this as a fraud and terminated the call. This experience highlights aggressive and potentially fraudulent tactics used to obtain financial information.
Review 13 (Sanja Ljubimac): This reviewer simply labels the company as “Spam!!!!!!!!!!!!” This brief but emphatic statement adds to the overall negative perception of the company.
Review 14 (Konul Bilalova): This review focuses on unprofessional communication practices, specifically receiving calls at inappropriate hours. The reviewer expresses strong dissatisfaction and states they will not use the company’s services or recommend them to others. While not explicitly accusing the company of being a scam, the unprofessional behavior damages their reputation.
Review 15 (Sirvan Panahi): This reviewer claims to have been scammed, detailing requests for various fees, vague explanations about contracts and office addresses (“security reasons”), and refusal to provide a refund. The reviewer also mentions that the company’s phone number kept changing, further raising suspicion. This review strengthens the accusation of fraudulent practices.
Review 16 (Erwin): This review is short and to the point, labeling the company as “Scammers” and advising others to “avoid at all costs!!!” This reinforces the consistently negative sentiment.
Review 17 (Dias Monteiro Dos Santos): This reviewer questions the legitimacy of the organization after receiving an immediate email claiming eligibility for Canadian immigration based solely on minimal personal information. The reviewer became suspicious and was then contacted by a “manager” who insisted on upfront payment and abruptly ended the call when the reviewer requested information in writing. This experience highlights aggressive sales tactics and a reluctance to provide transparency.
Review 18 (Sam Stratten): This review describes a phone call with a person with a strong accent claiming affiliation with the Canadian government and refusing to provide credentials. The reviewer notes unprofessional behavior, including the caller talking over them and someone in the background making a dismissive remark. This experience points to a lack of professionalism and potentially deceptive practices.
Review 19 (Pippa MacDougall): This reviewer states they were scammed for £10,000 and expresses feeling foolish and angry. They describe the scam as well-organized and warn others to avoid the company. The significant financial loss and strong condemnation reinforce the scam accusations.
Review 20 (Bill Menzies): This reviewer claims the company accepts both valid and completely outrageous information for expedited entry to Canada, then asks for credit card details. This suggests a lack of genuine assessment and reinforces the suspicion of a scam designed to collect financial information.
