Singapore PR Consultancy – Is it a true help to realize your Singapore Immigration Dream?

There are more than 100 Singapore PR consultancy firms in the market. Their main business is to assist people who want to apply for Singapore Permanent Residency / Citizenship. Services vary from just applying for Singapore Permanent Residency / Citizenship to providing services to help migrate to other countries such as Canada (this is categorized as outbound migration).

Some agencies will just do the filling of documents for you and some will advise on strategies to enhance your chances for Singapore Permanent Residency/ Citizenship.

Given all these different options it is important for consumers to clearly understand what services they are looking for and which agency can provide them at a reasonable price while ensuring quality, reliability, and expertise. Services desired should be understood and classified as “must-have” and “good to have” as the price difference for the same could be huge.

A rule of thumb

This industry is currently not regulated so it is important to engage a Singapore PR consultancy firm, that delivers what it promises and serves your best interest. Here are some pointers or simple rules to identify a good Immigration Consulting agency.

#1 – Response time

How do you measure response time? Within 24-hours, within 3 working days? Response time is one of the parameters on how a service provider determines the quality of the service provided. Many people use response time as a metric to measure the service they received. In our opinion, in our line of business, response time is crucial. We respond to our client’s requests/inquiries on the same or following working day. We always put ourselves in our client’s shoes. Promptness of response also indicates the promptness in service provided later.

#2 – Google review

Be mindful while taking Google reviews at their face value. The number of customer reviews on Google has risen exponentially in recent years. Unfortunately, not all reviews are reliable. Many businesses entice clients or even people who are not clients into leaving good reviews. You can’t always trust what you see on the internet. Due diligence is always advocated.

#3 – Quality of the consultant

Hiring a good consultant is never easy. Not all immigration consultants from big, reputed immigration agencies are good. Neither does it mean that someone from a small agency, not charging a huge service fee is bad. So, how exactly does one determine which is a good immigration consultant?
