I don't work for WES, I left to start Gate21. WES does 100,000 evaluations in Canada, as with anyone bound to be a small number of unhappy customers.

Again, for Gate21 there is no recruitment. We're career coaching for those already approved to immigrate to Canada. As for the upfront, I've signed many contracts with consultants which included a fee upon signing along with other points of production. I'll be moving my fee to 50% half way through and 50% upon completion, thanks for the input. I wasn't/am not selling anything here (just wanted to correct the info), again I work with people that are approved to immigrate best of luck if that's your goal.

Time is my most valuable commodity so I won't be able to contribute/correct anymore misinformation on this thread, I'll be back to helping people achieve their career goals.

Hi everyone,

Re Gate21, first we do not find people jobs and no where on the website is that even suggested. We help map out the steps needed to find work in Canada, a "teach someone to fish..."

We use a server in the US for our website, not uncommon at all.

If anyone gets an email from us they have filled out our contact us form so there are no unsolicited emails.

I have more than 10 years of experience helping new Canadian to find career success. Up until I founded Gate21 these programs were funded by the government of Canada and various provinces and were delivered by non-profit community based organizations. These are well intentioned programs but since these are paid for by the gov the priority is for these orgs to meet the gov's objectives and this often means the best interests of the new Canadian is not first and foremost and it is this reason why I founded Gate21. Offering a for-fee-service means the success of our clients is paramount and first priority.

As for the 50% upfront, again not uncommon and it's based on my experience with the very first Gate21 client. I prepared for the first online session, talked and listened to the individual, explained what is included in the service that they would receive which did not include finding them a job they said yes lets work together. I reviewed their resume, planned out the guidance and resources they'd need and prepared for the second session and they no showed and never got back, so all that time was lost thus the upfront fee along with an agreement that outlines all the specifics. We work with people already on their way to Canada to help them avoid the career barriers that many many new Canadians are facing these days.

I am very proud of my work helping new Canadians

Good for keeping an eye out for those that try to take advantage of immigrants, this happens all to often and it is despicable.

I just wanted to ensure you have accurate information about Gate21.
