I am trying for Canada work permit.

I have some queries about traveling cheque.

I met immigration agent here in Indore, india. He gave me the scheme for work permit. There are vacancy in ontario canada in shopping, they require labour work/general workers/ sales man etc for shopping mall in canada. According to agent, salary will be 1,00,000/- per month with accommodation and air ticket free provided by company. He don't ask for any advance payment. Total charge after getting work permit is 6,00,000/- indian Rupees. processing time is just 15 days.

He ask following documents to process work permit file
1. Passport Original
2. Photos 35mmx45mm 8 photos
3. Resume
4. Experience Certificates
5. Traveling Cheque worth Rs . 5,00,000/-

I went to money changer office/ money gram/ thomas cook money changer., they replied, they can not issue traveling cheque without visa or air tickets.

My agent told me, our LMO/ HREDC letter letter is ready, we need traveling cheque number to process file. It takes just 15 days. He asked me for cheque number only. he told me, we require only cheque number, cheque will be in the name of principle applicant, not agent.

I have some confusion about this agents.

He ask me to submit original passport..... Shall I submit?

He told me, LMO/HREDC letter is ready... Is it possible LMO letter without name of worker?

He told me, process time is 15 days... Is it possible to get work permit in just 15 days? I heard, LMO takes 2 months times to approval.

He asked me for travelling cheque ... Is it possible to make traveling cheque before visa and air ticket? I am from Gujarat and agent asked me, some money changer make cheque in delhi without visa and air ticket. He asked me to bring 5,00,000/- in delhi, He told me to help to get traveling cheque. If I go to Delhi with 5 Lack money and some robbery occured, then who will be resposible.

One more question and important, Is it really traveling cheque require to process file of work permit in any circumstances? I mean, If I submit traveling cheque, will it help me to get work permit sure or faster?

I request all seniors to comments my queries.

It looks Dodgy to me firstly visa in 15 days and secondly jobs in Canada. Its canada not a Middle East where visas are available for labour type jobs for the people of any other country.

I'd second that. It sure looks like one of those scams...

He ask me to submit original passport..... Shall I submit?
-I'd opine against it.

He told me, LMO/HREDC letter is ready... Is it possible LMO letter without name of worker?
-Not likely.

He told me, process time is 15 days... Is it possible to get work permit in just 15 days? I heard, LMO takes 2 months times to approval.
-Not possible.

-For expatriates, Travelers Cheques can be obtained anytime. But, for u, probably the Forex House would like to see some sort of authority, to issue the same. I'm not sure though.

One more question and important, Is it really traveling cheque require to process file of work permit in any circumstances? I mean, If I submit traveling cheque, will it help me to get work permit sure or faster?
-Not required.

Be careful... & Good Luck !

1. processing time for Canadian work permit is more than 3 months and not 15 days. LMO is by name and not blank.

2. No Traveling Cheque worth anything or Rs . 5,00,000/- of required for processing the file. The fee od HRSDC is about Rs 22,000 which the employer submits. Rather no show money/ settlement amount is required for work permit holders.

3. For India -Even after HRSDC approval there is no gurantee of visa. The embassy can decline also and tell HRSDC to cancel the LMO. Your money can go waste also.

4. You will loose your money if you go ahead with this deal.

SO BE CAUTIOUS
