NIN and Copy of your US visa.

quote author=wifey1 post=135280203]Good evening, pls what 2 documents did you use? I also want to apply, I have a 5yrs US visa renewed this year. [/quote]

Please can someone help clarify?

Mamaiyanu:
Hello house. Please do you have to pay for children's biometrics? We were sent port requests for my husband, myself and my son. My husband went to drop the ports and he was told at VFS that we have to pay for biometrics for my son which doesn't make sense to me.

The receipt he was given said "package transmission"

Please can someone help confirm if this is legit or they are just exploiting my husband?

Yes, he has to pay for the package transmission

Mamaiyanu:

Good morning, please is it compulsory to explain lump sum in statement for POF?

What is the implication of not explaining? the lump sum on the statements are far back Nov 2024 and January 2025, is the explanation necessary?

Mamaiyanu:

Children under 14years are not required to give their biometrics

Yes, better to explain, especially if it is a personal and an amount which is higher than the regular inflow into the

Thank you, but I don't need to show documents right? Like liquidation of investment documents, a simple explanation is fine?

Has anyone faced this!

I applied in March for a visitors visa for myself and my 5years old daughter. We got our visa approved April 30th and submitted our port May 1st. We both got a mail that our port is at IRCC. However, the next mail that followed two days after was for us to pick up our port. Getting there, they said it was only my port that is ready and her own isn't ready.

What causes such delay and how long do one have to wait?

Application Type: TRV

Application No: V4035......

Biometrics Done: 4th-Feb-2025

Still no response from either VFS or IRCC since then, I am curious to know why my application is taking so long.

Please Note,: my agent assisted me with the total processes since Feb-2023 up till this current stage. "CLOSED WORK PERMIT.. Job offer"

Please house,, what should I be expecting next after Biometrics and what are my chances of getting approved?... Especially after waiting for over 3months for the next available update

If your application number starts with a "V" that means ur agent didnt apply for work permit for you but visit visa. Work permit number starts with "W".
If u had not heard anything yet, just wait some more time or u can go to him and ask him to open ur portal and show u.

This is most likely a scam. The “V” in your application number means it’s a visitor visa, not a work permit. Your agent likely misled you. VFS is only responsible for biometrics — after that, only IRCC handles your application, so don’t expect any update from VFS. Also, who gave you a job without an LMIA? Most real job offers in Canada require one. Be careful . this situation has many signs of fraud.

Thank you Angie.

Well,i have been through alot with my agent before we got to this stage, we fight, quarrel, returned funds back and forth, Infact, you guys don't wanna hear the full gist but somehow, I believe everything's gonna come out clean.

Besides,done upfront medicals.
Positive LMIA received by *him*.. Emphasis on *him* because I didn't get to see it..
Job offer signed but I didn't get to do it myself either.
I just needed a time frame to prepare my mind for the best.

At this stage, common bro, I don't think it's a scam anymore..maybe the application number starting with "V" instead of "W" is what I don't understand, But if you gat any update about this bro, you can feed me please.

Thank you.

Your agent already run you street.

Do you do a zoom interview video for you to get LMIA?

Your agent applied visit visa for you not a work visa.

And expect a decision on your visit visa decision soon.
And I want to believe you submitted your own personal statement of to him with enough fund? If not 🤐🤐🤐

Stop giving yourself false hope and face reality,you have no valid work visa application. You’re a victim of a Canada work visa scam, and what you actually submitted is a visitor visa application with forged documents. Just hope and pray you don’t end up with a ban.

This is what was displayed while trying to get my gcm notes.

Please can I get your so you can guide me on how to my gcm notes..

I don’t know what’s wrong but my agents keep assuring me and it’s been over a year..
He said base in the steady ref he has withdrawn abi pause my application after doing my biometric o..
I just want to be sure though he did for my friends also and one visa was approved

Well, well… another victim of a Facebook visa agent.

While I was away, I anonymously ed several Facebook visa agent Telegram groups—and let me tell you, they are cashing out on ignorant people who refuse to learn. But trust me, they’ll learn the hard way.

These agents promise they can get you a work visa, or that they know how to convert a visitor visa into a work visa—using fake documents, of course. But they won’t tell you the documents are fake.

They offer different "packages":

Work visa package
Visitor visa that they promise to convert to a work visa once you land in Canada

😂 It’s all lies.

Since I had some free time, I decided to message one of these Facebook visa agents

Saying I just landed in canada and pretending I wanted to convert my visitor visa to a work visa.

For context: I’m a Canadian citizen. I came here as an international student, finished school, got a work permit, became a permanent resident, and eventually obtained citizenship.

This agent told me it’s possible and even claimed he just did it for someone else. 😂
I asked for evidence, and he sent me a document.

When I looked at it, I saw Case Type 28. 😏 and No Travel document number

That means the person filed for asylum after arriving in Canada on a visitor visa.

How do I know? A simple Google search told me and also comparing it with my old student permit and work permit
For reference:

Student permit: Case type 30
Post-grad work permit: Case type 56
Asylum claim: Case type 28

When I questioned him about the case type, he blocked me.😂
He knew I had caught him lying.

I hope you don’t get a 5-year ban.

I advice you request for Global Case Management System (GCMS) notes related to your Canadian visa application

Please understand: one Facebook visa agent can ruin your travel record permanently by using fake documents.

Do your research. Ask questions.
There is nothing a Facebook visa agent will do for you that you can't do for yourself—legally and properly.

I don't even know the site. But Google directed me to IRCC Portal and I applied. I always apply for my visas myself .

It's not compulsory or mandatory to explain any large amounts deposited into your , but it's very important, particularly if you're not a frequent traveler.
