Dear All, I am writing here on behalf of my friend who's become a victim of Immigration Fraud, I would request the seniors to advice, how to get the culprits, penalized.

Mr. Ali Anwar & Mr. Nadeem of "Independent Immigration and HR Consulting" Surrey, British Columbia were hired to arrange a work permit for my friend's brother, who is a competent and professional cook, with four years foreign bachelors, and exp in Europe.

Mr. Ali Anwar of "Independent Immigration and HR Consulting" assured to get us work permit for Mr. Rehman Zaib, and asked CAN $ 17000.00 for it. He asked to submit CAN $ 5000.00 in advance, because "the employers are asking for this money and the LMO is ready for Mr. Rehman Zaib" . We were told to send this Can $ 5000.00 through Western Union, to which we refused, and insisted on Bank to bank transaction. After a bit of hesitation from him, we got the bank details of Mr. Ali Anwar and CAN $ 5000.00 was submitted to his CIBC Bank Account.

As per the consultant's advice in the very beginning, the poor guy remained waiting for the work permit in Cyprus after his contract ended there. Extended his residence permit, couldn't work, couldn't go back his home country for 7 months, postponed his marriage and its been 10 months now, the so called consultants have stopped replying the queries itself...

When my friend demanded his money back, they stopped responding, and at last in a dialogue told my friend to forget about the money.

The point to be noted here is that

1- Mr. Anwar Ali is an approved immigration consultant from ICCRC.

2- All we have is that bank deposit receipt, and chat history on Viber.

Since am in Ontario, I want to take it up and try to get my friend's hard earned money back from these thugs. I have planned to drag them to all forums I could..

1) I will complain about this to ICCRC
2) Go to small claims court to file a case
3) Complain Best business practices to black list them.

I really need all of your input, to

Let them know that Immigration frauds are not the way to earn their bread n butter anymore.
Save all other prospective applicants to beware of such bull*censored word*.

if they did brother, then yes you should go ahead and complain and file suite against them, so that they won't do this again to any one else. they should be learnt a lesson. they are enjoying after doing such acts and ***Censored words***. best of luck and +1 for sharing to all.
 
Mai Manji kithay Dawaan??,
thank you for sharing this story with everyone. It can serve as a proper warning against careless actions.

I think it's a good idea to inform ICCRC. At least these guys names will be blacklisted.

However, some things are still unclear. First of all, how do you plan to arrange a lawsuite if you basically have no proof of any commitments from the 'layers' - no sighned contracts, no paper agreements, no invoice. Nothing. Viber chat can hardly be treated as a solid proof as one can always claim that the account was broken/hacked or just belonge to someone else. As well as a bank transfer in itself doesn't mean that the receiver have any commitments towards a payer. It can be just a gift.
Actually, how come that your brother didn't bother to arrange for any documents from the 'lawyer' side?

And why the assistance in obtaining a work permit costs as mich as CAD 17,000? Far too much for a simple paper work on behalf of an eligible candidate. Looks like it was somehow illegal way from the very beginning and your brother could anticipate what he was falling for and whom he's dealing with. In this case perhaps calling for justice may only worsen situation for him.
 
This had Fraud written all over from it very start, surprising you just agreed to it all..
 
I'm curious if this was ever resolved? To be honest there is no work permit in the world that could possibly cost $17,000. this hefty price should have been your warning to check with someone else for a better price and you would have discovered that this was a fraud,
