Please ask your friend’s Facebook agent the following questions:

What type of work permit is it — an open work permit or a closed work permit?
I am 100% sure the agent will not answer this question clearly.

Did the agent mention what job it is for?
God bless you bro..uve answered me..I'm fully satisfied..Thanks alot

Did your friend have any job interview?

Did the agent provide the LMIA number used to obtain the work permit?

What does the application number start with? Here’s an example of common prefixes:

Visitor: V123456789

Citizenship: C123456789

Work Permit: W993830598

Economic Class: E099977028

Remember, an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) is very much like the UK’s Certificate of Sponsorship (COS). The average illegal cost of obtaining an LMIA can be as high as $15,000 CAD.

Here’s the bitter truth:
Nigerian Facebook visa agents have been running a big business of selling fake work visa packages. In reality, many are just submitting visitor visa applications with falsified documents. This has caused many people to be banned from Canada — often without their knowledge — while jumping from one visa agent to another.

What your friend needs to ask the Facebook agent:

1. Who is the employer?

2. What is the LMIA number? (It’s a 7‑digit number, usually starting with an 8.)

3. Is the LMIA for an open work permit or a closed work permit?

4. What is the LMIA’s duration? Currently, it must be for 6 months, as the Government has stopped issuing 1‑year LMIA approvals for certain jobs.

If the agent lies or ignores these questions, that’s an immediate red flag.

Process of obtaining work visa
Employer applies for LMIA ➔ Gets LMIA ➔ Gives LMIA + Job Offer to You ➔ You Apply for a Work Permit ➔ IRCC Approves ➔ You Get the 6 months Work Permit ➔ Travel and Begin Working in Canada

In all there are still those with good intentions to enter Canada and go back to their home.

If one has a genuine investment of N500M both in cash and property, why should one abandon that to go and seek asylum somewhere else?

amnotapervert:
something does not add up

Your question is really confusing me. Are you saying that you completed your biometrics before submitting your application?

Please, if I’m mistaken, someone correct me — that’s if the process has changed.

If you’re submitting a visitor visa application for Canada online as a first time applicant

you can only do biometrics after submitting your application. Once you’ve submitted it, you’ll receive a Biometric Instruction Letter (BIL), which you must use to book an appointment at a Visa Application Centre (VAC). So, you can’t do biometrics before submitting the application.

or

If You’ve Done Biometrics in the Past 10 Years:
If you’ve already given biometrics for a Canadian visa or permit in the last 10 years, you don’t need to do it again until it expires. You can skip this step for the new application

hayyawithme:
I am not applying for a Residence visa, what I am applying for is a Tourist Visa.

DelCrux:

oluayebenz:
Agent O.T

That march application has been refused.

Agent just want to package another conference visa for you.

I'm very sure you paid a substantial amount of money.... He want to repackage your application.

That's just the plain truth

oluayebenz:
But they have got a tourist visa?



I don't even see Canada as a tourist destination.

Ok, firstly, it’s called a Business Visitor Visa because your intent is to visit Canada for business-related reasons — such as attending meetings, events, or conferences. It’s still a visitor visa, just with a focus on business activities.

You mentioned that you did biometrics in March. Was that for another application, different from this current one?

This is puzzling, because you can’t do biometrics — unless an application has already been submitted.

So, if your “Facebook agent” is now asking for these details, does that mean this is a new application? Or did he fail to submit this information in your first application?

Something doesn’t add up. Let me clarify:

You cannot do biometrics before submitting a visa application
And all what he is asking for is meant to be in the visa application before submitting.

You must first submit an application, and then you’ll be asked to do biometrics — unless this is your second visa application within 10 years.

I’m really confused, as it seems like your Facebook agent hasn’t told you the whole story.

DelCrux:
its only just one application..and its for the Business visitor visa that i did biometric for..

Milito:
Why you dey act like asylum seeker police up and down na.

amnotapervert:
Are you planning to claim asylum?
Remember, as a Nigerian, you have only a 13.71% chance of having your asylum claim approved.

Debbieeeeeee:
That’s a good one! Congratulations. About 9 days approval. Did you have prior travel history?

Milito:
Nahhhh. But I just find it funny the way that poster I quoted is always all over the place about asylum seekers.

While its a good thing to educate and hint people about the limitations and disadvantages of trying to claim asylum most especially dishonestly, but its distasteful the way some people make enquiries about visa an asylum-seeking intention.
