Pros & cons

Canam Consultants Ahmedabad

✓ What students love

✓Largest study abroad network: Part of a pan-India group with 100+ branches, meaning consistent processes and backup support if your counsellor changes.
✓AAERI and QEAC accredited: These accreditations require ethical conduct standards and are recognised by Australian and Canadian institutions.
✓Strong Canada track record: Over 1,100 Google reviews, many citing successful Canadian study permit approvals and post-visa support.
✓University Road location: Located in Ahmedabad's main student belt, walk-in friendly with extended hours during intake seasons.

✗ Drawbacks

✗Mixed individual counsellor quality: Several Google reviews mention inconsistent guidance between counsellors — some students received conflicting advice on documentation.
✗Canada-heavy focus: Less depth for non-Canada destinations; students targeting the UK or Germany may get better specialist support elsewhere.
✗High volume office: As a large office, some students report feeling like a number during busy intake seasons rather than receiving personalised attention.

IDP Education Ahmedabad

✓ What students love

✓IELTS co-owner and test administrator: IDP administers official IELTS tests — students can sit their English test and receive counselling from the same organisation.
✓Global network of 650+ partner universities: Particularly strong for Australia, with comprehensive coverage of Group of Eight and other Australian universities.
✓55+ years of operation: The longest-established study abroad consultancy in the world — processes, compliance, and quality controls are mature.
✓Free counselling: All counselling is free; IDP earns commission from placement, not from students.
✓C.G. Road location: Well-connected office on one of Ahmedabad's most accessible commercial strips.

✗ Drawbacks

✗Commission model can influence recommendations: Like all free-counselling offices, IDP earns more from institutions that pay higher commissions — be aware that recommendations may not cover all available options.
✗Less personalised than boutique offices: As a large corporate consultancy, students seeking highly personalised attention may prefer smaller offices.
