Sorry to hear that!
That's why I advise: please, try to get a joboffer yourself instead of hiring a consultant to do it for you!
You are paying a lot of money that you could have spent yourself by going to Canada and find a job in a "normal" way....
No employer will hire you just by your applicationletter and some info a consultant is telling him/her.
I know, because we got the joboffer ourself and got approved after 30 weeks by SC.
Now it's "just" waiting and waiting for CIO to confirm it's a genuine one!!!!
Good luck!
Kind regards,
Louise!
It is virtually impossible to secure an AEO by yourself (unless you know someone personally). These are some reasons:
1. Job-Market is Recessive. There are hardly any "Genuine" AEOs except for some Cooks/Nurses
2. Employer won't wait for a year and half to fill a position
3. Employer has no time to support you with the plethora of documentation required to fulfill AEO criteria
4. Service Canada is taking longer and longer to approve AEOs
5. CIC can override the "Genuinity" of the job offer and determine that to be "Fake"
Now, if one doesn't fit into the "Elite Professions list", what does one do? You rightly said
"you could have spent yourself by going to Canada and find a job in a "normal" way...."...but forgot to add
"If you make it to Canada in a Normal Way". Most small "Employers" see the AEO as a method to make some fast bucks. Consultants in Canada offer them big bucks in exchange of Job Offers, and this cost is passed onto you. Its a game of Demand and Supply my dear Louise. Personally, I do not agree with AEOs and their methodology. Let me tell you, Canadian AEOs are 95% fake...whether you get them via a consultant OR get them yourself.
