For Canada, the consultant handling your file must be licensed by the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC). For Australia, the agent must be registered with OMARA (MARA). Cosmos Immigration's Hyderabad office, at Somajiguda, runs the same firm-level credentials as our Dubai and Abu Dhabi offices - operating since 2014, with a 4.9/5 rating across 1,200+ verified Google reviews - and every named practitioner is verifiable on the official registers.
Last updated: July 2026, reviewed against current CICC and OMARA/MARA guidance.
The right one names the specific licensed individual working your case, gives you their registration number to verify independently, assesses your points and occupation honestly before selling a package, and never promises the outcome. Apply the criteria below to us and to every other firm you are considering in Hyderabad.
Canada regulates through CICC; Australia through OMARA/MARA. Both credential named individuals, not companies. A Hyderabad firm advertising "government-approved" or "certified" without naming a licensed consultant and giving you a checkable number is not showing you a real credential.
Verify: search Canada consultants at college-ic.ca and Australian agents at portal.mara.gov.au.
Canada's Express Entry and Australia's points-tested subclasses each weigh age, education, work experience, and language scores differently. A credible consultant runs your actual numbers - CRS for Canada, points test for Australia - before recommending a program, not the package that is easiest to sell.
Both countries require your qualifications to be formally assessed - WES or similar for Canada, ACS/VETASSESS/Engineers Australia and others for Australia - before you can proceed. A proper consultation identifies the correct assessing body for your occupation and what evidence it needs, before you spend on anything.
Fees should be quoted per stage against defined deliverables - assessment, documentation, and filing - in a written engagement letter you sign before paying. An "all-in" quote before your profile has been reviewed is a sales hook, not an assessment.
No consultant can guarantee a visa, PR, or citizenship outcome; IRCC and Home Affairs decide every case. A firm that guarantees an outcome in writing is telling you something about how it operates - not about your chances.
Apply these criteria to every firm on your list in Hyderabad, including Cosmos. The firm that survives them is the one to engage. Request an eligibility assessment.
