She is simply waiting until she receives her salary before she refunds you. She didnt submit anything. Put pressure on her, tell her you now know the procedure and she simply didnt submit anything. If i were you, i will give her two weeks to refund that money.

yes o, I think so too. I mail her everyday, and then WhatsApp her more

Elfmannisback:

That agent no get head!

lol

ednut1:
she is just buying time. Which application did she submit wen u dont hv ielts and eca

me I don't know o. She said she registered us and finally admitted she has not submitted our documents, I just pray she pays up and not just buy time since obviously we are forfeiting legal costs

Fizzile, TEECAN, einsteino, ednut1,elfmannisback,mcstan18, thank you guys for your timely advise about starting me and my spouse's application afresh. We contacted the immigration lawyer and told her we would like to stop using her service and that she should refund the money paid for application...after a little stalling, she agreed to pay up as soon as she can cancel our registration from their database. She says it will take up to a month, so fingers crossed. Once we get our refund, we can start a fresh application

This is a highly unprofessional article

fizzile:
That's the spirit. All the best

amen

einsteino:


Yes but you should know there is additional points for spouse ielts. So the best thing to do is to use the CRS calculator tool to check his tentative score to see if it would get you guys ITA without the additional points of your ielts.

we have decided to get all the additional points we can gather, age isn't really on our side

TEECANN:






Madam, the new upgraded express entry started in 2015 and from your chat, if memory serves me right, I think you said you started the process in 2016...Hence, what folks are telling you about the Express Entry procedures here are extant (ie very current and active for your case) and I presume that should also apply to your 2016 application.

Please, probe deeper and know the truth...one sure way to know what to ask for is by you to first of all, understand the express entry process and all that it entails. If your fears eventually gets confirmed (ie that you have been duped), please by all means, help yourself by "doing it yourself". You are a graduate, you can read and more importantly, you understand English as you will still pass IELTS. So there's no biggie to it, just create interest and time and take it step by step.


NB: Over the couple of threads previous, I have seen people with more zero knowledge of the express entry stagger into the threads, who came crying about their travails in the hands of agents (before they discover the express entry threads) and went ahead to get PPR- doing it step by step- WES evaluation, IELTS, ITA until their PPR dropped. Literally from the scratch...zero knowledge. You too can do it!


It will end in praise IJN!

this is inspiring. Thank you. We have decided to start the whole process all over ourselves and also follow her up on the side
Amen o, it will surely end in praise IJN.amen

mcstan18:


No medical report, no PCC yet she claims she has submitted an application? That doesn't sound so cool. I think you need to start doing these things yourself from here onward, while you follow up with her on the outcome of the one already paid for. I doubt if anything would come out of that anyway.

I think we would have to do just that. Thank you

Elfmannisback:

You need to check your eligibility and CRS score status es... Page 0 is for you.

thank you, I will

Elfmannisback:

She can not claim to have done something without ielts, eca, medicals and police report. Meanwhile, u can not even stand a chance without the first two... So confront her. How have you paid her?

yes, we paid her upfront plus application fees. She didn't ask for medicals, just ECA and ielts

ednut1:
without ielts and eca the agent could not have submitted your application. We can assume your were D****

if she really hasn't submitted it at all, that will be really sad. I doubt she is dubious, she has successfully helped some acquaintances and never ignores our calls, she also promptly responds to emails and whatsapp messages , but we just feel there is something she is not saying or doing. I cab now see from everything that ielts is the starting point of moving forward. I feel really dejected right now but moving forward is the only option right now

einsteino:


If you made an application via the old way ie not express entry, it may take forever. I cant speak about the sincerity/insincerity of your agent.

What i do know is that you are wasting your precious time dragging your feet. You already lost 2years and that translates to losing points for age. If i were you, I would evaluate my crs score now to see if i still stand a chance, then get the ball rolling.

By the way if you are willing to read through the pages of this thread, you can apply by yourself. If not, stick to your agent or anyone that you trust.

this is most helpful, thank you so much. She says we shld do an express entry application with our ielts seeing it is taking so long. I think we will have to do just that. Can my husband alone do the ielts based on cost implication?/he is the principal applicant. He has an MBA, I have an MSc

Hello house, I am new here and i have been trying to read through the posts to understand the whole application process but it looks like my case is a little different because I am a little lost
So my husband and I applied for the Canadian federal skilled workers programme in 2016 through an agent I. Canada but we are yet to get any form of correspondence showing application fee has been paid or that the office got our application.
The agent, an immigration lawyer claims the firm has filed our application and that there is a backlog of applications that need to be dealt with before it can get to out turn. She advised we change our application to express entry and that we would not need to pay another application fee, just go ahead and donour ielts. We have been dragging our feet on our ielts becos we are yet to see any proof of action from this agent.
Please, what documents do we need to ask her to show us to know she is actually doing something? And how long does it take them to view your application
N:B...all documents have already been sent, certs, police reports, etc etc. It only remains transcripts and ielts
Please advise further, we have spent a lot on this already but we do not see any progress

Sorry for the long post
