Avoid CanadaVisa.org

Canadavisa.org is a website that claims to take the stress out of applying for a Canadian visa by handling your case on your behalf. In reality it is a manipulative organization that tricks you into paying thousands of dollars only to then make the barest attempts at securing your visa possible before disappearing completely. Canadavisa.org and all websites like it are best avoided unless you want your time and money wasted as well as having your travel plans ruined. My experience with Canadavisa.org started in October 2022, I had plans to go on a working holiday in april the following year. After getting in contact with their very friendly staff, a representative told me that I could expect to receive my visa no later than march. I was then led to make a payment of $1,500 CAD, fill out a short form and wait. After several weeks of waiting I received a series of convoluted and complex forms that I was supposed to fill out as soon as possible. What was supposed to be an easy alternative to applying for a visa turned into a task just as time consuming. It took several days and phone calls with my representative to fill the whole thing out but eventually I got it complete. After this I was then again tasked with waiting... and waiting, as it got closer and closer to march I began to worry, but I was unable to contact Canadavisa.org or my representative. I tried calling them, emailing them and sending a question through their website but to no avail. After months of radio silence I then finally heard from them, only to be told that one of the forms I submitted was out of date and that I'd need to fill out yet another form. Having already committed so much time into the process and being that it was getting worryingly close to march, which i was told would be when i could expect my visa to arrive, i begrudgingly filled out the form. that was the second to last time i heard from my representative or Canadavisa.org, my visa application then sat waiting to be approved by them and my numerous calls to every available number went unanswered. in fact the only way i ever got a hold of them was when they called me, march and then april came and went and after having my plans shattered i finally got one last call regarding my last email, in which i had asked to be refunded. The call was simply to refuse me a refund regardless of how I explained to them how they had wronged me. My experience with Canadavisa.org was nothing more than a waste of money and time. I wish that I had taken the time to research this company and done my due diligence to prevent this experience, so I hope that you take my advice and avoid using this service.
