Just tell the Agent you need to see him, try and lure him with wanting to give him more money to try and expedite the Biometric process(wet his appetite), then make sure you have contacted some mean-looking, dreadful SARS OFFICERS to deal with him..You have been Scammed


I so much appreciate boss, but why i haven't been able to think otherwise was recently he called me with a strange number and asked me to save the number as his new number, said he lost the other line and got the numbers back from icloud, thought he could use the opportunity to escape but he never did, pls i want to ask, is IRCC sending out biometric email at the moment that abuja VFS closed? i'm on 50/50 already, just hoping something good might come out with faith.

Please I ask for advice..
I have an admission already to resume sept. I work in a bank as a full staff and have a registered company with a plot of land already built to lintel level. My father is to act as my sponsor with a good turn over and standing balance.
Can I apply for visa without paying part of my school fees yet cos the money i am expecting to pay part of my school fees might come in late sept.

COVID-19 update: IRCC resuming processing of online applications for visitor visas and eTAs, but travel restrictions remain
Ottawa, June 30, 2020 – As of July 1, 2020, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will once again process online applications for visitor visas (including transit visas) and electronic travel authorizations (eTAs), to the extent possible.

Resuming processing and making final decisions where possible on visitor applications will help IRCC ensure future processing times aren’t significantly impacted and help expedite people’s travel when the travel restrictions are lifted.

However, due to current travel restrictions, applicants should keep in mind that, even if they apply and get a visitor visa or eTA, most people will not be able to travel to Canada at this time.

IRCC also continues to process study permit and work permit applications submitted online and permanent residence applications, to the extent possible. Paper applications for visitor visas, study permits and work permits will not be processed until further notice.

Measures have been put in place to make sure applicants have the time they need to complete all the steps in the application process, including giving their biometrics. Some visa application centres (VACs) are starting to reopen. Applicants can check the website for info on the VAC closest to them, so they can book an appointment to give their biometrics as soon as they’re able.

Those who are eligible to travel to Canada at this time must have a plan to quarantine for 14 days when they arrive in Canada. This is mandatory, even if they have no symptoms. Those who don’t have a plan should not travel to Canada.

We’ll continue to provide updates on further processing changes, including when the travel restrictions will be lifted.

You are still hanging on on this scam? Are you seriously expecting this to work out how? That you will get a visa to travel to Canada to work?

It amazes me how educated Nigerians with access to unlimited amount of info get taken to the cleaners by some heartless scammers.

Lets start from the simplest thing to do..

1. name and address of that company in Canada

2. Name and business address of the agent in Canada

Differ your admission till next year if possible.
Securing visa for Sept admission is impossible.

The world is confused for now, doubt if foreign embassy will open in Nigeria anytime soon.

Whenever I read about Agents and how much money people give to these guys I cringe. There should be ways to verify legitimate agents to spare you the trauma of having paid so much with nothing to show for it. You don't really need an Agent for anything. For all applications you need to make the steps are online somewhere, there are groups dedicated to such pursuits and then you really need to be honest with yourself on what your chances are.

For instance you cannot be 45 for example and think you have a shot using Express Entry or trying to use school admission to get in. The chances are slim to none. So up comes an agent and tries to convice you otherwise and you spend that money and regret right after.
Just searching online I found this: https://www.cicnews.com/2020/05/canada-announces-major-study-and-work-visa-change-for-fall-2020-0514355.html

International students will be able to enroll in online courses while abroad this fall and still be eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit after moving to Canada.

International students PGWPCanada is making a major change to its Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP) rules for international students who want to study in Canada beginning this fall.

The PGWP enables international students to gain Canadian work experience after completing their educational program at a Canadian designated learning institution (DLI).

Your goal has to be clear: Do you want to get to Canada legitimately? Do you want to do it through schooling? Are you the right age? Have you also considered the Provincial route?

hello house, pls i need your assistance, I applied for MPNP Workers in manitoba last June 15th 2019, through an agent here in Nigeria who said to have a connection with employer in Canada, i got an email from EOI Confirmed my entry, the process could not hand me any evidence other than they asking me for the necessary credentials, I got employment letter from the company i'm to work for, filled and sent back September 2019, i was assured by my agent that Biometrics will come up on dec 2019, when i waited and it passed, had to mail the employer, he said my agent in Nigeria is the one delaying, i made contact and he said they needed few more candidate to meet the quoter then already been sorted, they are applied for skilled workers in manitoba which i was told it excluded the test of english due to the program package, it's quite obvious they could ignore me because they have collected all the money asked, recently i made a contact with my agent in Nigeria and he said the delay happened due to the COVID 19 outburst and international airports are opening now as so do the Visa center. I haven't receive any biometric email yet from IRCC, pls kindly enlighten my route if i haven't fall in a wrong hands. thanks (I was to find out more and get more information so i can check the whole thing myself but confirmed the employer handlingthe process there could not give out the information) i'm just confused.

Honestly, when will all this agent stop this scam things, without provincial nomination certificate and selection from federal express entry, you can't get anywhere near biometrics. Please go to MPNP site and read about it all,the process and stages are all clear.it is what you can do by yourself.
Re: Canada Visit/tourist Visa Discussion. by goobyparks(f): 8:11am On Jul 21, 2020
Good morning beautiful people.
I did paper application on 9th of March with my husband and son, we did biometrics same day. The only email we have ever got is from vfs saying that our Visa application has been received. We didn't even get the mail about biometrics that I usually see people talk about here.
I went to the CIC site and signed up an account using the GC key option then tried linking it my paper application as advised here.
I clicked "Add(link) your application to your account"
Then selected "Temporary Resident Visa"
The next thing I see is "Go to main account page"
When I click on it, it simply takes me back to the previous page ( ie. my main account page).

Pls what am I doing wrong?

Also I don't even know whether our application makes sense again coz our expected date of travel is 27th July �‍♀️. Our purpose of travel is family vacation.
If my fear is the case, how do we get our passport back esp as VFS hasn't opened. Also does that mean our Visa processing fee is gone like that �

Good day All,
My mum and I wants to apply for Canadian TRV. My dad will be sponsoring the trip although he isn’t traveling with us. Can our application be submitted online together as one application?
Does it also matter if I attach my personal bank statement, Pay slip and employment letter along with my dad’s bank statement as proof of funds. Or i should just attach only my documents as proof of funds since i have a paid job.
Thank you

Anybody can invite you to Canada,the inviting party just need proof of his status in Canada and finance but most important is your friend travel history ,home tie ,work and financial status in Nigeria..but from my experience most invitation like this are often refuse ,if the man is genuinely interested they should first meet at a neutral country face to face ,then he can invite her to Canada as a friend or fiancee with proof of their previous meeting and communication and if that did not work out ,the last option is genuine marriage and coming to Canada on a spouse visa ,Canada Spouse Visa enables Canadian citizens or permanent residents to sponsor a spouse or a common-law or conjugal partner living outside of Canada.

I think you are misleading people with this post.

You can apply for a supervisa for your parent at any time after you land so far you meet the requirements. You can apply even a month after you land so far you are employed and have a letter from your employer stating how much you earn and it is over the LICO as stipulated in the yearly LICO table. This info you have given is very inaccurate.

Also, where did you get your information from that you will not get a visa to visit the US just 6 months after you land? I am asking because I have friendssssssssssssssssssss that got US visas a few months after landing and by a few months, I am very certain it wasn't up to 6 months and they got their 10 years visitors visa. Your conviction in saying "you will be rejected" is mind-blowing

We need to be very careful about the kind of information we take in in a public forum. If you are in doubt, please make phone calls or go to the organization's website for more information.

I believe you can get your visa without knowing anyone in Canada. You just need to have a strong tie back in Nigeria. Just state you are coming for vacation but then winter is not a good time for vacation here. You might as well tell them it's next year summer that you plan to come

The Canada VAC in "Lagos" is closed to the public, but will provide passport return services via courier only with effect from 20th July 2020 (Monday & Wednesday from 9:00 to 15:00). A VAC representative will contact applicants whose passports are ready to be returned and will provide further details regarding how passports will be returned to applicants via the courier service provided by the VAC.
