hello,
please i need help.
How does someone pay or sort an issue that says the applicant has unpaid debt to the crown.
This was the message received through a GCMS NOTE.
I would like to know how to go about this payment so as to be able to possibly reapply as it seems like if this is not sorted, re-application will still come back refused.
I would appreciate anyone who can help with good info on how to handle this.
Thank you

Honestly I have to chat the guy whom I told you was able to check is...... and ask him how he goes about it, Said he followed same way you did and was able to track is application, God's
my witness, He doesn't have access to the mail the agent used. I won't come here to give false narrative if otherwise. I'm only trying to help and nothing more.

There was a charge back to a previous Visa fee which is fraudulent.
My take: craft a apology letter and pay the debt. Use your own bank dollar card or likes of chipper cash to pay.

If I may ask, who payed your previous Visa fee? Agent or U?

Paulo01:


Thanks for your updates so far..

Heaven knows I'm been honest here. I can forward my chats on how I suggested he tracked his application and how I gave him the same tracking links, and how he said he doesn't have access to the mail the agent used..... but was able to check it and I can equally forward is rejection stuff. I have no interest in giving false narrative to mislead anyone at all. And when people say they aren't able to check there's because they can't access their portal gives me concern because he was able to to God who made me. Why not just start from the beginning and let just see, make use of a new Gmail and follow the steps, it might works....

The said guy applied June/July submittion and Biometric, got denied September last year, and he keeps telling me is Visa is still on processing at Feb, but I suggest he tracked it and he see that it has been denied. The annoying part is that till now the agent is still telling him they haven't made any decisions yet. He paid for Work Visa but it was VV The agent apply for him.

please check your mail need to ask some question from you. Thanks

I'm not an agent please and I never claimed to be.

id4sho:


I meant the Agent processing it for him. Advice him to confront the Agent and collect his login details. I advise people to avoid agents and DIY. This thread and EE thread is very rich which is enough for knowledge and questions. Visa application ain't rocket science

Eriokanmi:
Will they ever listen? Let them keep using agents and allow their chances and dream grow dim. Our people are so lazy.

How can I use an agent when I have an android phone and data to research? Visit quora, nairaland, read extensively, even print as much as you can...any information relevant to the type of visa you're applying for. Most of these agents aren't as knowledgeable as you are. They also visit here to tap information either as guests or as members. Always DIY but they'd never listen. They can consume their data on Netflix movies instead

DIY is cool if u got POF.
Some use agent cos some agent provide all and urs is only to be present at biometrics center.
As much as their are scammers everywhere, their are still good agents. Not everyone wants to rack there brain. Or sit with Lappy or phone.
Do what works for you… not all agent are scammers.
I know people use agent and got positive outcome, so also people who diy and got positive…. Likewise opposite… diy with large POF yet denied… agent with 1000years visa experience yet denied… all is grace…

Good morning Nairalanders, I submitted my passport and that of my spouse since Feb 12. Each time I track it says it's under processing. Should i be worried because it's over one month already, it's PR visa but no response yet ... Has anyone experience same ?

Eriokanmi:
I still maintain my stand on people being lazy. What's the success rate among those who used agents after parting with their millions and those who did it themselves with their brains? I've read people's comments on this threads from when it was created, till this point and I can tell you the percentage of those who used their brains far outweighs those who used agents. You can tell from their testimonies. What I've read mostly are sad stories of naive applicants who used agents.

You don't even need any agent for your POF. There are hundreds of loan companies who can offer that service at a flexible percentage interest or commission. Some do advertise here on NL sef. Go to students threads and you'd see them advertised by nairaland.com.

You don't need any agent to search for a conference that's relevant to your field. There's 10times.com, which is a leading global conference site. I had used it back in the days for all the events that I had attended. Most of the partners we work with in Nigeria today were sourced from those conferences and exhibitions attended which, I got via 10times.com. I had used eventsbrite too but 10times is richer and nobody recommended or introduced it to me. I searched online and did my due diligence on it. What else do you need...? You don't even need a property or the map of your home town to apply for a TRV. Agents had dashed the hopes of many innocent Nigerians and they cannever enter the USA, Canada and UK again. Some may be aware of their continued refusals after requesting a GCMS Note, while some aren't. That's not good news.

DIY remains the only option. If you're refused, try again.. you'd be surprised by the time you finally get through, you'd not spend one-quarter of what you'd have dashed an agent who would only kill your dreams. Enough said

Tell agent A and he will fill B. Visa application will be rejected, they will refuse telling you. Give clients his IRCC login details and they won't. Frustration sets in. They want you to still use their services for next application. They will hold your passport to Ransome (gangsters & criminals), why do they need your passport in the first place .
They won't pick your call nor reply your messages. IRCC will serve you 10yrs ban for false information abi Visa application fee charge back . Issuance of fake visa stamp or Visa on arrival story abi work permit in Nigeria. Demons from the pit of hell in human body.
Your mind go dey.
They cons is far more than the pros .
Everybody, should choose his poison

Please guys, my agent used my email for the visa processing. My question is if the visa is approved, will IRCC contact me through my email ? The agent didn't give me my IRCC login details.

Nazkid1:
Please I’m about applying for a tourist visa. I have a virgin passport because I’ve not traveled out of the country ever before, but currently I’m thinking of traveling to Ghana by road to get it stamped. Do you think it’s a nice idea? I read an article here on nairaland where someone was saying the land borders issues fake stamp and I can be banned from entering Canada if they discover the stamp is fake. NOTE: I’m not trying to fake any stamp I just want to travel to Ghana to boost my travel history, I don’t know if someone in the past has used this means to relocate to Canada
