Dear D,
My heart missed a beat after reading that you've planned to leave this forum! Oh Oh, good people shouldn't take bad decisions, after all. We want you back. I want you back. THE SHOW IS NOT GOING; DON'T YOU SEE THAT?
Okay D and folks,
I will share a very sensitive information here.
DISCLAIMER: This is not to offend any Immigration agencies. I am only sharing my experience. CanadaVisa.com is an immigration agency by itself. After reading this please don't conclude all agencies are bad. Bad apples are everywhere.
Here is the story! I planned of moving to Canada roughly 6 years ago. In 2011 I paid some money(about a quarter grand!) to an Indian agency. He said he will have to check my eligibility so I have to make that initial payment. Not knowing about anything I paid and he said I will have to take IELTS to be eligible! He also sent thru mail the eligibility form (checklist kind of document) clearly stating IELTS is necessary to send a successful application to CIC. Should I've checked in CIC website, the document is free to download and checklist isn't a rocket scientist equation to work with; all it takes is about five minutes to know whether or not we qualify to apply!! I started gathering information myself after learning this lesson, only to fall into another big trap; read to know more.,
By the time IELTS got ready CIC introduced a cap reaching system. Since I was living in Middle east and agency is in India, by the time I took to prepare documents and sent to the agency, the cap is getting filled up every time. I think we'll have to wait another 4 or 5 months for the next batch. Believe me all the work is done by me; agency tells what to do! Again, should I've looked into CIC website I would've understood better and quicker!! All of a sudden CIC stopped taking people with my profession and degree. Then I lost interest too. Three years passed.
Then I brought the plans back when talks were going on that CIC is coming up with a new system called express entry. Although I knew a good deal of information about CIC, this time I went to a local agency. I thought even if I know a lot of things about immigration, approaching the agency is an absolute necessity because they provide you the encouragement, push, and focus! boy! I was so wrong!! They provide a secret siphoning hole on your wallet!! But I didn't know then! Very bad decision, I paid all that they asked for even before CIC opened to take apps. 1.5K usd, would you believe that!? Before CIC could open they forced me to join their IELTS coaching classes. Guess what - IELTS coaching given by a person who's of Asian origin (not qualified) who cannot speak English properly at all. He treats IELTS like Math classes. He would use previous IELTS questions and have his students do drills and practice. I only checked who's taking classes, I decided I am not going to join. They were angry at me for making a good judgement! When CIC opened with EE system, I booked for IELTS myself (without any third party coaching classes) I managed to get good scores. But it took about three months from the time CIC opened EE system. I then went to the agency with ILETS, credential assessment and every other documents ready, they told me my application is expired and I will have to pay full amount to open a new contract with them. 1.5K USD again!! I asked them why; they said I wasted three to four months and their representatives could've used that time to prepare application to a candidate who was ready at that time!! I said I had to take IELTS; they said if I've gone to IELTS thru their IELTS teacher it would've been faster.
I think I should be too dumb to believe this pyramid scheme guys anymore. I asked for refund. They only gave 35%. Hocuspocus mob has everything printed in their contracts!!
Why am I saying all this!?
Oh, after being scammed, the only person who gave his time and unbiased guidance and shared his invaluable immigration knowledge completely free of charge was DRAJPOOT. WHERE IS HE NOW?
For people who feel D has offended you, I want to tell you something. In the past D has given a lot a suggestions to me whenever I had questions. Not all the suggestions were fully sound and fitting for my situations. D is not here to reflect a perfect law of balance. He is here to share his opinions. If you feel he is unfriendly, please ask him nicely. Do you think he could've posted these many posts and people always look for his guidance if he is unfriendly, misleading and an ill-treating person??
I hope Drajpoot reads this post and request him - please consider coming back. Everybody needs you.
If i've offended anyone here I am sorry. I thought of sharing my ideas, so this long message.
Best,
Luder
