I applied for Canadian Permanent Residency through an agent located in Vancouver, Canada during November Last year, 2010 under the AEO program. Currently I am on H1 and in the USA. During last week, roughly after 11 months of application my consultant told me my LMO has been denied/refused.
Ever since I applied there has been no documents I received from my consultant, neither he asked for any document except for a copy of my passport.
Sometimes, I doubt he didn't applied for anything so far. Is there any way out to find out if the consultant has ever done anything on my file. Can I cross check my application through any canadian website? I never receive any tracking number for my file either. Last time I spoke to my consultant for the LMO application copy and refusal letter from Canadian Embassy/service canada, he denied to share the copies on the basis of privacy.
I am very worried and already paid him quite a lot as an application fee. Please HELP.
Was the job real?
Did you have a face to face interview and official contract of work? If you did then report the consultant to CIC.
If not, then I am afraid your application was a fraudulent one. In this case, hope that your consultant did NOT send the application in, else you will be banned from Canada for misrepresentation.
Let this be a lesson to you all, you cannot BUY your way into Canada. As intelligent, skilled workers, you are aware that no one offers someone a job without a proper interview and contract, therefore when you pay these scammers to get you a PR through the AEO route, you are in effect just as sleazy as the fake consultants are.
