You might NOT have been scammed like a lot of people are saying. You can track the status of your application on the Canadian website to confirm if the case has been determined or not. The mistake you made is before you applied, you should have checked how long the application will take. Canadian immigration website always specifies that. I learnt it is taking one year plus due to Covid-19 now.

The truth is we can't say for now.
Even if he's legit the duration for a Canada visa processing takes up 4/6months presently...

So you have to wait...
Till then keep an eye on him �️

Why do you need an agent to get a Visa?

What exactly do this agent do for you guy's when all the informations you need can be found in the embassy website of the country you intend to go to?

Paying 1 million naira for what exactly?

Won't you go for a visa interview which determines if you get the visa or not or will the agent also go for the visa interview on your behalf?

You all should stop all this dumb behavior.

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.

what about the biometrics I did in lagos is it fake too?? I gave out all necessary document before getting an appointment for the capturing


Doing. Biometrics doesnt mean its legit

The agent could gather any documents and applied for you.

With that said, im not saying you're scammed yet. Some agent get slot to sell, some get inside job. But why pay the whole 1m without seeing visa confirmation

Honestly, I can boldly say that agents are a group of people who get free money from people who are too lazy to do their research. I could understand if you were a politician or some 'so-called' big man; hiring an visa agent would be equal to hiring a maid, driver etc, to do what you could do yourself.

In 2021, the internet should be an invaluable resource, especially for the younger generation. Visa agents are no longer necessary, don't be gullible.


I tire.

Go to the website fill the form and submit required documents. Book appointment. Shikena.

That's what you are paying agent for. Lol.

When you land airport and they ask you questions concerning what you are supposed to have filled yourself you start babbling and see yourself back in muritala

How much is visa fees that you paid 1million for.

Firstly don't listen to what many people are saying here, I vididly believe that your agent didn't scam you, Canada PR can take much longer due to the covid-19.

Since your documentation not online submission that will take you almost 6month, but if you submit your documents online that can only take you three months process, so you need to be extremely patient, and keep on teaching out to your agent time to time

So to me your agent didn't scam you because you did submission at VFS office, so you need to relax your mind and be more patient

But how many months now have you applied?

Its very risky to do it with agents, its safer to do it yourself, the only thing you need is advise and direction, don't give anyone huge sums of money to do it. I hope its not a scam, even though its shouting scam, i don't know about Canada, they have their procedure.
