Hi,

I am writing this to inform you about a suspicious activities going on my Canada Visa Process.

I got a job offer from a company on April 23, 2019. I received this letter from a HR co ordinator. From that day the process moved smoothly and I have sent them all necessary documents for visa process (my passport scaned copy, PCC certificate, my education certificate, also Quebec selection application etc.)

After sometime they appointed a honary counsel to represent behalf of them over here in Delhi, India.

He asked me to get an IELTS certificate to proceed with PR visa. I said its not possible to get that within few days, I said I need one month of time to get that certificate.

Then he gave me an offer that if I pay 15000 to him he will get it done through some of his diplomat friend over here in Delhi. I suspect that this is not going to be legal proceeder and asked my employer about this. He said that it's a regular thing within their sphere, and it's safe as long as it's a diplomat handling your application.

So I paid 15000 and got a copy of IELTS certificate on my name(not at all happy with that). Then they proceed my application in Mumbai Canadian embassy.

Then the hounary counsel said that for PR visa I need to show Proof of fund and need to pay some extra money for processing fees etc. For that he said that my company will send you 2 months of salary to cover all these fees for visa process.

So my employer sent US $10000 through courier parcel to India. Courier company name is Purolator. I didn't feel this is right way of sending money and asked about it to honary councel.He said again it's safe to transfer money through parcel.

Now they saying the parcel is held by customs in Delhi and we need to pay 3000$ bribe to officer and get that back. The honary counsel said that he paid 1000$ to them to release the parcel but they refused to do so.

Now my employer asking me to talk with customs and pay that balance 2000$ bribe and get it back.

So now I feel suspicious over their activity and want to complain about them for misleading my application and troubling me for money.

Complete scam. Any money you've paid is lost.

oh boy what a scam. So cry a bit in your corner and say goodbye to your money and hope that they will not misuse your personal data for something shady.

Just a side question if your Quebec certificate actually genuine? If yes all you needed is to apply directly using it. In that case you do not need any language certificate (that is a paper based application).

man, the first signal of it being a scam was when they said they will arrange a fake IELTS. Do you even think this can be done?? IELTS results are verified as they all have a unique identification # printed on them. I hope you didnt give them any originals. do you have your passport with you or you gave it to them??

Thanks for all your reply. I didn't share any originals with them just a photo copy of all. And except that 15000 I never paid any thing more.

So now how should I complaint about them in Canadian embassy.

OK thanks for the reply,
How to complain them
There is no point in complaining to the Canadian embassy. They will not know anything about it or be able to do anything about it.
Call your local police if you like.

You and your employer have lost all your money and will never see it again, or any legitimate immigration documents.
Sorry, but you have been completely duped. It's too late for us to be able to advise you now.

Actually, I wonder if your employer might also be part of the scam... Or is incredibly naive!

OK I know it's too late to enquire about it.
Because all the process went butter smooth. It's all started when they said they sent huge money through parcel.
