What i gave was what? a commentary?
The problem with some of you is that when someone say what you do not like to hear you will pick a fight.
If you want someone to validate your action there is no point coming to ask for advise.
You need to be deep thinker for you to be on the same frequency with some of us.
i no blame you,na wetin your Brain fit carry na him you write


Coming from someone who knew nothing reasonable to type. When you ought to be supportive, you were going off course,
Explains so much about you

Biometrics is JUST for the Visa application. And it doesn't cost 1 million
Are the contact details all yours or the agent's?
Go to VFS and make enquiries.

May I know how much he billed u for the whole thing, with that I may be able to help u assertain if it was scam or not. Some body said u can't get Canada work visa from Nigeria but that's not true. U can get but that depends on the kind of agent that's doing it for u and the amount u paid. So if u are willing to share d detail of d amount u bargained wit him I might be able to help u know if it was scam or not. Thank u.

your words re really encouraging , yes I goofed by paying such amount as down payment
to even think I also connected a friend of mine to that same agent is killing me

Brother- You have made the mistake already. Don't add High BP to the matter. 1. I told you before reach out the VFS and get some information. The problem is that biometrics is just a minor part of the process. And biometrics does not cost 1m naira.
2. Use the information to make a decision whether to ask for refund or not, But clearly what he promised you - Work Visa is not usually done in isolation. It is usually procured with the assistance of an employer, Did he secure employment for you already? Do you have the details of the employer? If you do also reach out to the employers and confirm .
3. Otherwise start asking for your money. Remember the police does not do free recovery jobs. They will collect percentage whether they recover all or not. All the best!

Canada is not treating applications for visiting, studying etc, they keep giving different kind of excuses but collect payment for visa fee..

I have applications that was submitted since last year Oct and not yet treated, even another one before the Corona that was March 2020 and not yet treated.

What actually causing delay in treating applications is only known to them, UK still remain the best when it comes to treating of visa applications while US embassy are mad as the available date in Lagos is Jan 2024 while Abuja is May 2022 grin

May 2022 for which Visa category pls?

Hi guys , please am in kind need of take on my current situation.

I applied for a canadian work visa through an agent with a down payment of 1miliom after which I did my biometrics capturing at VFS lagos .on

The problem now is that two months is almost gone and no feedback from the embassy and am seriously starting to feel the heat , I don't know if I should get my money back and start up a wine bar or wait for an update from the agent.

Anybody with an experience with situations like this with an agent should pls help me, am begining to lose my mind with my current state of joblessness and doubts of the legitimacy of the agent securing my visa.
Any latest news from u bro? I wish u all the best…
