Beware Of Travel Agencies! by Blurpy: 11:24am On Oct 28, 2021
The hardship going on in Nigeria has made migration look like the only light at the end of the tunnel. This has birthed quite a number of travel agencies who help Nigerians with the travel process. While some of the travel agencies are legitimate and may have the right connections to get a visa easier and quicker for you. Many are fraudulent and have mendaciloquence to obtain huge sums of money from unsuspecting people. These people go to the extent of even selling their family land and assets just to pay the agents and get the visa with the hope of getting work abroad and sending money back home. The thing is that the travel process looks complex but actually it is not complex , you just need to calm down, research and read and obtain knowledge. Information is power.
Imagine this poster below advertising a sponsored work permit into Canada, something that is not possible, what skills do you have that any Canadian doesn't have that would make a company sponsor you all the way from Africa? When there are lots of Canadians, Americans, Indians, Chinese even Pakistanis and Bangladeshis including Africans over there too?
People have been misled and duped severally in Nigeria.
Beware of agencies! Especially like those in the picture attached.
It's best to due diligence and DIY.! To avoid stories that touches the heart. If you must use a travel agent, for example for Canada, use a Registered Canadian Immigration Consultant. They are verified on the IRCC List. They are not cheap though. They won't fraud you because they wouldn't want to risk their license.
Meanwhile, not all countries are worth travelling to, research very well on the country, countries like Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Serbia, Belarus, Albania etc shouldn't be travel options to Nigerians as greener pastures.
I come in peace.

People should be very careful when dealing with agencies/agents that offer working permit/visa to Poland and may be Croatia.from my research so it cost more than €2500 to get genuine work permit from both countries.The work permit for Croatia is not even worth it.salaries in Croatia for low skilled jobs is very low. Spending more than €4000 to Croatia to earn around €600 per month is a waste of time.
