Visa & immigration consultants · Surat

A licensed Canada immigration consultant, serving Surat

There is no office in Surat. The nearest is Ahmedabad, about 257 km away, and almost none of the work needs you to go there.

The short answer

The Visa Tales works with clients in Surat from its office in Ahmedabad, about 257 km away, and does not have a branch in Surat. Canadian files are prepared and filed under RCIC licence R710507, a federal Canadian licence anyone can verify on the CICC public register. The file is handled over WhatsApp and video unless you would rather come in.

How far Surat actually is

Surat is the only city here with a Regional Passport Office of its own rather than a counter, and it governs the passport offices at Bardoli, Navsari, Valsad, Vapi and Rajpipla. For the visa file the two Canada application centres are nearly equidistant, 257 km to Ahmedabad against 286 to Mumbai, which is unusual. Everywhere else in Gujarat the answer is obvious.

Why a licence matters more than a local address

A signboard in Surat is not a credential, and the agents families here lose money to almost always have one. What decides whether somebody can act for you before IRCC is a Canadian federal licence, because only a licensed consultant or a lawyer may act for you before IRCC. Check R710507 on the register before you take our word for any of it.

What we handle for Surat

The RCIC licence is Canadian and covers Canadian files. Other countries are handled by the firm under its own name, with no claim to a licence that does not cover them.

Questions people in Surat ask

Do you have an office in Surat?

No. The Visa Tales has two offices in Gujarat, one in Bhavnagar and one in Ahmedabad, and neither is in Surat. The nearest is Ahmedabad, about 257 km by road, and the file is prepared and filed online under RCIC licence R710507 either way.

Is there a licensed Canadian immigration consultant in Surat?

The CICC public register lists individuals, not towns, so there may or may not be a registered consultant living in Surat. What you can check is the licence: search any name or number on that register before you hand over documents or money. Ours is R710507, held by Jay Sharma.

Where do I give biometrics if I live in Surat?

At the Canada visa application centre in Ahmedabad, about 257 km from Surat. Canada runs ten of them in India and Ahmedabad is the only one in Gujarat. Biometrics are given in person, once, after a biometric instruction letter with a deadline on it, near the end of the process rather than the start.

Where is the passport office for Surat?

Regional Passport Office, Surat, which is a Regional Passport Office, and it answers to the Surat regional office. It issues your Indian passport and has nothing to do with a visa to another country, which is the mix-up we see most.
