What Our Students Say
Long story alert: My journey began in 2017 when I met Richard Sir, and little did I know how significantly this man would change my life. At that time, I was pursuing my Master’s in Ahmedabad without a solid plan for my future, as Cyber Security was still an emerging term for many. Richard Sir had faith in me and encouraged me to attempt the IELTS exam. He provided guidance, corrected numerous writing pieces, and, to my surprise, I successfully cleared it. Following this achievement, he introduced me to opportunities in Canada, where I could pursue my second master’s and build a career in Cyber Security, given its booming demand in North America. After careful consideration, we decided to apply to Dalhousie University, Canada, ranked among the top 300 universities globally. Throughout the application process, whether it was crafting the Statement of Purpose (SOP), Letters of Recommendation (LOR), Visa Application, or obtaining the offer letter, he stood by me like a rock, guiding me through each challenge. With his unwavering support, I received my offer letter, followed by obtaining a Study Visa in November 2018. I arrived in Canada in December 2018 and successfully graduated in 2020. I graduated during the global struggle with the devastating effects of COVID-19, with employees facing layoffs. However, after numerous job applications, LinkedIn messages, and coffee meet-ups with professionals from different companies, I landed my first job in Canada, where I have been for the last three years. Currently, I am a Permanent Resident of Canada since 2023, and all of this happened because of the ideas and support of this man, who is more like an elder brother to me. For those planning to study abroad, rest assured that this man will be there for you until the end.
I got excellent service from SIO. All team members were very supportive. They have guided me from the beginning to the very end of this long journey and I really appreciate the immense efforts taken by them in many stages. I can say that they are the best supportive team that anybody can find in this industry considering my own experiences in approaching other established consultants for my study visa. Also, nobody would take that much extra efforts and care in getting the study permit without leaving any chance to be rejected. I would wholeheartedly appreciate their efforts. Thank you SIO Team.
I’m extremely grateful for Aarti Ma’am and Richard Sir for their help. My visa for Canada got through yesterday and now I’m closer to achieving my dream. This would not have been possible without their support. They’re always available to help and make things so much easier. Let it be anything, they have contacts for everything and I would definitely recommend SIO if you want to pursue your dream of going abroad. Thank you so much!
