Hi ate, I've been watching your videos for a while and I always find them incredibly well-written and delivered. Very concise and easy to follow. I especially appreciate videos about agencies, because I know a lot of people are constantly getting scammed by them. Your videos helped me in my DIY application, which is now awaiting approval. More power to you, ate! Stay safe always.
I am glad you are encouraged to DIY. I hope you get that approval soon. I share your sentiment about agencies. They reason why I take such a strong position against agencies is because people email me about their refused study permit applications on a daily basis. Most of them mentioned they used an agent. I will continue my mission to educate and inform more people. Thank you for your kind words and your support.
I was tempted to reach out to an agency until I watched your previous video about avoiding agencies. Thank God! DYI all the way. I haven’t finished watching this video yet but I wanted to say thank you ate Rachel. I just got my approval last week and received my passport with visa yesterday. Your videos helped me a lot in the entire process. Can’t wait to hopefully meet you there someday! More power to you ♥️♥️
So many people need to know this! Grateful for your channel as it helped me navigate my application for my now approved student visa. Thank you for what you do!
I am cheering you on. I hope you get approved soon. Please let me know when you do. I just get so excited knowing you will be starting your journey in Canada.
HUGO! You are always leaving me golden nugget type of comments. Very much appreciated. I will carry on the fight just because you keep on leaving comments. LOL
Always tempted to avail and reach out to an agency because I doubt my knowledge about the application. But with enough research and readings-feeling ko kakayanin💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
As always!!! Great video.. I totally believed that this lady is more knowledgable than agency!! I encourage you all future applicant of student permit to follow her videos cause it really help! I DIY my application and Thank Goodness my application was approved! There's a saying " knowledge is power" this video is a power!
LOL....knowledge is power. But, I tend to have more passion and determination than agencies. Maybe passion and determination will lead to world domination. LOL
thank you miss rache for the very simple, concise and informative vlog. been planning to study in Canada soon. your video helps me a lot. more power and God bless!
Hi ate 😭 I'm so glad that I found your videos. Me and my friend are trying to apply a scholarship abroad but we don't know what to do yet. I was really planning to find an agency to help us, I'm so glad that I found your videos 😭 thank you so much! 🤧
I'm really glad I've watched this video Rachel as i have doubts in agencies too i was on the brink to go for it, but luckily i did not so i decided to do it myself and learn from it step by step along the way. Thank you so much!
Hi Rachel kudos for making this video and exposing these agencies/agents. The same problem is also happening here in Australia. I agree with what you said that these agencies/agents get away because they are outside Canada (Australia) and not covered by the immigration law. It is very sad that they take advantage of this loophole in the law to gain money at the expense of others. In the case here in Australia, these agents give false hopes by saying that the course that the applicants/students will undertake have pathways to PR. Once these applicants/students realise that their course won't lead them to PR, they will eventually transfer to a new course. In the end, these students wasted their time, money, and effort on a course that won't lead them to get PR.
This is the exact same thing that is happening to so many students here in Canada. I AM FRUSTRATED AF. This agency problem will have to stop. Someone has to take a stand for the victims out there. I have been on so many video calls with people telling me the same old story how they fell victim to these agencies. I will continue this work and will continue to educate people so they can avoid being victims. I noticed that you have a channel and are talking about international student life in Australia. You are doing great work to help students. Keep it up.
@@rrdancel It is indeed frustrating Rachel. I feel very sad to those people who got denied. Thank you for continuing your great work to help them. Thanks for noticing my channel I really appreciate it. ♥️
Hi Rachel ! I haven’t been active to your Channel but now I’m back! You did a really good job especially in this video, really informative !!! Many thanks to you🙏.
I cried on the last part huhu I was touched. Actually I was afraid to do it myself and now you just slapped me hard that I can do it. I should and I would. Thank you so much! 😭
You can definitely do it yourself and avoid the agents. If you need assistance to apply to schools, then I can help. If you need to connect with immigration consultants, then I can assist with that as well. Please send me an email to rrdancel@canxvisa.com 😊
we tried to seek help for an agency here in the Philippines and we found that it requires too much money and I think my family cannot afford to risk that huge amount. I am watching your videos thoroughly so that I will go for DIY application just like you and to be in Canada soon when the time is right.
Hi Rachel! I have watched and even attended a number of webinars that offer help to obtain a study permit to Canada and bring my family at the same time. Your message is so powerful and I'd like to explore the DIY. I think you have a video on DIY, right? :-)
Yes, the DIY course is close to being finished. However, it is exclusively available to students that signed on with one of my partnered schools. You can learn more about my partnered schools on my website canxvisa.com
Hey, another helpful video. If possible could you also make a video on a checklist of documents required while filing for a study permit? That would be great.. Thanks!!
Why don't you just pay part of that fee directly to the immigration lawyer so that you can avoid all that illegal stuff? Better yet, just send me an email and I can refer you directly to an immigration lawyer or immigration consultant.
My sister you are I really appreciate your advice thank you so much, this agent are killing us, they asked 11,000 US dollars for only visa no ticket included,
Beware of dogs to be a "beware of liar agencies". Most great work Rachel, I respect with you about anything from your true life information about prepare go to Canada, greeting from Indonesia that I want to live in Canada forevermore too... 🤣😂😇🤗
I am dealing with so many study permit refusals right now. It's getting to the point that I need to do something. I will continue this fight to educate and inform students.
A friend recommended me an agency to go through the process from applying schools to student permit. They did not charge me any fees tho which I was very surprised. That been said, I need to diy all the documents that I should submit. They would checked, examined and submitted for me (which I was participated in the process with them sharing the screen on zoom.), they also helped me inquiring schools if things went wrong. Lastly, they gave me advices and suggestions when I need it.
You should define AGENT. For instance I am a certified student support agent ICEF/ITAC...however I also have a certified IRCC agent on my team that handles the student application with Immigration and Refugee Canada. She charges a separate fee from my services and advises students separately. My work is student application and pre support, school placement, travel support and support once the student is in Canada.
I have defined it in this video. Point is, if the agent is the one providing legal advice - then that’s illegal bc that person is not qualified nor authorized to do so.
Hi Rachel! I have seen one video of yours that you explain the risks of get a PR with a 1 year post graduate certificate, you still think is risk to try to get a PR with this kind of certification?
Hello miss thank you for that information, I would like to know where the first step to do,or where I can send my application IN going to Canada? Do I have a chance to live and work in Canada since I only graduated a two year course here in the Philippines?
We are fighting the same monster- the illegal agents or fake immigration consultants. By the way, your giving immigration advice when you are neither an immigration lawyer nor a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant is an absolute no no and might get you into trouble if reported to Immigration Canada. Stick to sharing your personal experiences to avoid complaints.
Hi Rachel. What do you think about apply first using a private college and after get a course from a public one. I wish I could go to Canada but I don't have enough money to pay a public college at first. I would want save some money studying in a private college and after continue with the normal student stream. For you this strategy is possible?
Hi Rachel. Been watching your vlogs lately. May i ask if international student are eligible to invite parents to come to canada as a visitor? If yes may i know the required documents you have to provide? Thank you so much
There are so many agents in youtube. Chinese, Indian,pinoy and even African agents. They will ask for your details and charge u a consultation fee with a zoom session.
I would go with an Immigration Consultant because Lawyers charge much more. Unless your situation is super complex or requires a court hearing at the Federal court, there is no need for a lawyer.
I regret signing contract with an immigration agency. I paid 52,000 pesos as a processing fee. I don't have enough knowledge about immigration to canada. I really need to get a job in canada. What they offer was if I sign in, there will be a job offer. They are the one who will process it. I messed up.😭 So sad. 😭
Thank God :) i came across your videos. I was about to contact one agency. Now i can sleep well and blocked all the thousands of agencies here in Dubai that just popped and send you emails everyday for free asessments and so on. Very tempting. But really! You are the answer Rachel. Can i drop you an email? Thanks
hey rachel before i say anything, your videos are really helpfull and u must keep going for the sake of all international students, that being said i wanted to ask u a very important question about PR is there a 100% guaranteed way to get PR, and if there a way, what do we need to do with detail and thank u for your time and advice.
@@rrdancel thank u for ur reply, please just one last question, im from tunisia and im about to start getting my papers ready, whats the cheapest college that provide u with a work permit, to keep working in canada until u get ur PR. and thank u again.
Hi Rachel! It's very nice and knowledgeable watching ur video. May I just asked some questions, I've talk to 1 consultant regarding the sponsorship and she told me that I can have a sponsorship with a friend. do have an idea regarding this? Ur answer may help me a lot.tanku
Can you please clarify the following: 1. what do you mean by sponsorship (there is a legal definition, I am not sure if you are using this term correctly)? 2. Who is this consultant (I want to make sure this person is legit)?
Thank you mam for this information actually after I watched your Vlog actually I'm about to pay my agent for my application of work permit in Canada but seeing your Vlog I changed my mind I decided not to continue my application where they charged me about 85k pesos thank you for this one mam.. God bless..
Thanks for this, Rachel! You've always been so helpful! I remember sending an inquiry to this ~Immigration Agency~ I saw on Facebook to help me assess if I am eligible for express entry. They told me that I do not qualify and that I should choose the student pathway instead (coz maybe they want the moolah lol). Here I am, having an active express entry profile and just hoping and praying to get an ITA soon 🙏
Thank you for the information, it is realy helpful how can I apply for a university? do I have to do it in the university's website? does it have a cost?
You may apply to your choosing University directly from their website. You need to sign up for a student ID to make an application. There’s also the option to apply to several schools under one application through us to alleviate the logistical headache of setting up your student ID per school website. 😊
Hi good evening rachel. I'm done watching your video. You discussed avoiding agency. I'm sharing my story with you just to get you to give me some advice. I do assess to immigration consultant which is based in Dubai. And they have a branch here in the Philippines. So applied for a student visa and I paid their processing fee of Php 88k. One of my dreams is to go there not just for only studying but also to find a good opportunity and a better life. But in my case, I am only a high school graduate only. the best find way to come there that I think is to apply for a student visa. That's why I do assess and paid the processing fee to the Immigration consultant. But in my conclusion, I felt that something was not okay. After 1 month I do assess that consultant. I was confused and think a lot. If they can help me or not? Is it worth it that I paid them 88k Or maybe I just wasted my money only for nothing. It's too late for me to know DIY? I already paid that consultant. What should i do??
Hi Rachel! I have completed my grade 12th without maths in my home country and i wanna apply in Business administration (diploma) in vancouver community college but they require maths to apply for it although i got some info that i can still be able to get admission but i have to give a maths test when i arrive in canada. So my question is what level test shall i have to give? Like grade 10th or 11th or 12th? Contacted college about the same but they didn't cleared my doubt. So can you tell me if any of your friends were in the same scenario, what test they gave?
@@rrdancel Thanks for replying! I guess I can only get to know it once i get my offer letter🥲... till then I'll see your videos to know more about vancouver😅
SAVED BY THE BELL 🛎 I’m glad this video got to you first before signing on. Some agencies overcharge and are not even authorized to handle immigration applications! So I’m happy this got to you in the nick of time 🤗 Either DIY or seek legal help. No in-betweens
Hi, I'm pretty naive about his topic, but can't you just go to the nearest Canadian embassy and ask them about the information? Is there a department that is willing to give suggestions to individuals?
The agent called Green light Canada Global Mobility Solutions Ltd. has requested me to pay $10,000-$15,000 USD to search for job offer. I think it is too much, and also has no guarantee for not to lose
Thanks for this Rachel! I feel so scared right now because I paid an agency to help me with my application years ago. I am continuing my application just now, but I’m not sure if it’s still the correct way. But I can’t get a refund 😰 Also, what I find about this agency I am in, they’re so slow and needed to email them from time to time because they don’t usually update you 😐
My best advice to you is get your money back ASAP. Get the right legal advice from an immigration lawyer. Please reach out to me on IG and you can explain your situation in private there.
@@rrdancel hello po, i just happened to paid a consultancy firm here in Phil for my study permit before i watched your video. If they’re unwilling to refund? I havent started my processing yet. just paid last Dec 23. 2021z
Hi Rachel! I hope you are doing good. CEC AOR August 2020 file is stuck at security not started. Can you suggest something. It’s been months that status is security not started. Any help is highly appreciated
Hi rachel. Can you teach me how to verify, they claim they are ICCRC- registered canadian company, Id like to know for sure and if it is so, then by your info i guess we can let them represent/guide us. New fan here, Thanks and more power. Mabuhay
basically do everything yourself, right? maybe I missed it but is there a real need in a lawyer or a consultant during the process of applying/migrating to CA?
Some matters are a bit more complicated. So, its recommended to seek assistance from an immigration lawyer or consultant. Otherwise, you should be able to do most applications yourself.
@@rrdancel hey just a fun fact - I applied for evaluation of my diploma in May and thought that maybe they will do it in a month or so. turned out that with Covid situation and due to my evaluation of physical transcripts the process will take between 25 and 30 weeks. I've just started my journey of immigration to CA and the plan is already messed up :)
Hi Ms. Rachel! Can you help us know what agency or educational consultancy who we can trust? I am currently enrolled to an educational consultancy and I want to know if it is legit. Thank you!
You can either use my table found in my video to see if they are legit. From my experience, its unlikely that they are legit. But you can provide their website and the name of the person you are working with for your immigration application and I will check for you. Also, please let me know if you are paying them for immigration services and how much.
Hi miss R, I am currently on the process of applying my permit, and I don't want to get refuse, so saan po pwede maka seek ng legal help para malaman namin kung okay na ba lahat ng papers namin? thank you po.
They are illegal if they’re not authorized to give legal advice on your application. If they wanted to help, they shouldn’t charge you legal fees. It’s explicitly said on IRCC’s website. I’ve seen so many cases like this shrugged bc “they got to Canada anyway” but it doesn’t discount the fact they’re not authorized. They are not supposed to charge you for providing legal assistance. May I ask how much you paid them for transparency reasons?
@@rrdancel Hi there! I paid them a total of P50,000. First half payment upon signing the agreement, and the other half, before they lodged my application.
hello maam nice content, same situation, but my concern is do i need to have the show money even if i have the 10kcad im so confused😞 thank you and God bless🙏

Thank you mam for this information actually after I watched your Vlog actually I'm about to pay my agent for my application of work permit in Canada but seeing your Vlog I changed my mind I decided not to continue my application where they charged me about 85k pesos thank you for this one mam.. God bless..
Jesus Christ! Thats a lot of money for something that may not even be a job. Glad you were able to dodge a potential scam.
Thanks for this, Rachel! You've always been so helpful! I remember sending an inquiry to this ~Immigration Agency~ I saw on Facebook to help me assess if I am eligible for express entry. They told me that I do not qualify and that I should choose the student pathway instead (coz maybe they want the moolah lol). Here I am, having an active express entry profile and just hoping and praying to get an ITA soon 🙏
same happened to me a few days ago. good luck!
Thats just awesome. I am glad you were able to avoid it.
I hope both of you will get your ITA soon.
Thank you for the information, it is realy helpful how can I apply for a university? do I have to do it in the university's website? does it have a cost?
You may apply to your choosing University directly from their website. You need to sign up for a student ID to make an application.
There’s also the option to apply to several schools under one application through us to alleviate the logistical headache of setting up your student ID per school website. 😊
@@rrdancel I didnot know, how can I do it through you?
Hi good evening rachel. I'm done watching your video. You discussed avoiding agency. I'm sharing my story with you just to get you to give me some advice. I do assess to immigration consultant which is based in Dubai. And they have a branch here in the Philippines. So applied for a student visa and I paid their processing fee of Php 88k. One of my dreams is to go there not just for only studying but also to find a good opportunity and a better life. But in my case, I am only a high school graduate only. the best find way to come there that I think is to apply for a student visa. That's why I do assess and paid the processing fee to the Immigration consultant. But in my conclusion, I felt that something was not okay. After 1 month I do assess that consultant. I was confused and think a lot. If they can help me or not? Is it worth it that I paid them 88k Or maybe I just wasted my money only for nothing. It's too late for me to know DIY? I already paid that consultant. What should i do??
Any update please I really scared for getting agency that pays a lot. How is it going your application is it legit agency or consultancy?
Hi Rachel! I have completed my grade 12th without maths in my home country and i wanna apply in Business administration (diploma) in vancouver community college but they require maths to apply for it although i got some info that i can still be able to get admission but i have to give a maths test when i arrive in canada. So my question is what level test shall i have to give? Like grade 10th or 11th or 12th? Contacted college about the same but they didn't cleared my doubt. So can you tell me if any of your friends were in the same scenario, what test they gave?
I am not sure as well as each school will have different entrance requirements for each of their programs. I am not too familiar with VCC.
@@rrdancel Thanks for replying! I guess I can only get to know it once i get my offer letter🥲... till then I'll see your videos to know more about vancouver😅
Oh my gosh I didn't know about and I'm planning to use an agency to help me with my application but now I am planning to DIY
SAVED BY THE BELL 🛎 I’m glad this video got to you first before signing on. Some agencies overcharge and are not even authorized to handle immigration applications! So I’m happy this got to you in the nick of time 🤗
Either DIY or seek legal help. No in-betweens
Thanks you for this video😇
Hi, I'm pretty naive about his topic, but can't you just go to the nearest Canadian embassy and ask them about the information? Is there a department that is willing to give suggestions to individuals?
Yes you can. Most of them are extremely busy though. Best to check online cic.gc.ca
How do I find these paid representatives where I am living in Eastern African country called Ethiopia?
The agent called Green light Canada Global Mobility Solutions Ltd. has requested me to pay $10,000-$15,000 USD to search for job offer. I think it is too much, and also has no guarantee for not to lose
yay! another vid! thank u rachel!
Hope you enjoyed it!
Hi ateee we appreciate this 🥺
Thank you for watching! Glad I can shed light on the matter 🤗
You are great!!! Keep smiling 🙃
Really appreciate your video
Hi Rachel.. can you recommend a good immigration lawyer?
Lou Dangzalan!! 😊
Very educational
Thanks for this Rachel! I feel so scared right now because I paid an agency to help me with my application years ago. I am continuing my application just now, but I’m not sure if it’s still the correct way. But I can’t get a refund 😰 Also, what I find about this agency I am in, they’re so slow and needed to email them from time to time because they don’t usually update you 😐
My best advice to you is get your money back ASAP. Get the right legal advice from an immigration lawyer. Please reach out to me on IG and you can explain your situation in private there.
Is this First place Inc? Not sure if FPI is one of these agencies..
@@rrdancel hello po, i just happened to paid a consultancy firm here in Phil for my study permit before i watched your video. If they’re unwilling to refund? I havent started my processing yet. just paid last Dec 23. 2021z
Hi Rachel! I hope you are doing good. CEC AOR August 2020 file is stuck at security not started. Can you suggest something. It’s been months that status is security not started. Any help is highly appreciated
such a great info thanks
Hi rachel. Can you teach me how to verify, they claim they are ICCRC- registered canadian company, Id like to know for sure and if it is so, then by your info i guess we can let them represent/guide us. New fan here, Thanks and more power. Mabuhay
basically do everything yourself, right? maybe I missed it but is there a real need in a lawyer or a consultant during the process of applying/migrating to CA?
Some matters are a bit more complicated. So, its recommended to seek assistance from an immigration lawyer or consultant. Otherwise, you should be able to do most applications yourself.
@@rrdancel that sounds great. I definitely will try on my own first. Thank you, you are doing an amazing job!
@@rrdancel hey just a fun fact - I applied for evaluation of my diploma in May and thought that maybe they will do it in a month or so. turned out that with Covid situation and due to my evaluation of physical transcripts the process will take between 25 and 30 weeks. I've just started my journey of immigration to CA and the plan is already messed up :)
Is an 8 month post-graduate course enough to get a work permit after the course and how long will we get the work permit?
This video is about agencies. Please watch my other videos about post graduate work permit. You will find more necessary information there.
Hello 👋 How many times can you apply for PR? Is there a number of maximum times?
I don't think you have worded your question properly. Which program are you eligible for to apply for PR?
very informative video RR.
Thank you Dear!
hello, do the immigration personnel ask you RCMP certificate for your PR application after receiving AOR?
Which immigration personnel are you referring to?
@@rrdancel officer from immigration who evaluating your application, does ask you of RCMP certificate during your PR application?
Hi Ms. Rachel! Can you help us know what agency or educational consultancy who we can trust? I am currently enrolled to an educational consultancy and I want to know if it is legit. Thank you!
You can either use my table found in my video to see if they are legit. From my experience, its unlikely that they are legit. But you can provide their website and the name of the person you are working with for your immigration application and I will check for you. Also, please let me know if you are paying them for immigration services and how much.
Great advised
Hello po. Can I ask can you review the world connect?
Hindi po ba advisable na mag agency sa application? Kakayanin bang magsarili sa application?
Hi Rachel!
Hello.
Thank you sooo much
@Rachel is it possible to communicate with you on some sort of chat platform (besides IG, I don't have IG) regarding how life in VC is? :)
You can try emailing me rrdancel@canxvisa.com
I haven't been active on this channel lately but today IM BACK
HAPPY TO HAVE YOU HERE YIPEE 💕😜
Hi miss R, I am currently on the process of applying my permit, and I don't want to get refuse, so saan po pwede maka seek ng legal help para malaman namin kung okay na ba lahat ng papers namin? thank you po.
Hi mam. Are there universities/colleges offering scholarship programs?
Hi Jan, there are many. I will be uploading a video on scholarships soon.
not all naman. kaya dapat icheck talaga ng mabuti. agency nagprocess sa application ko, ok naman nakarating naman ng canada.
They are illegal if they’re not authorized to give legal advice on your application. If they wanted to help, they shouldn’t charge you legal fees. It’s explicitly said on IRCC’s website.
I’ve seen so many cases like this shrugged bc “they got to Canada anyway” but it doesn’t discount the fact they’re not authorized. They are not supposed to charge you for providing legal assistance.
May I ask how much you paid them for transparency reasons?
@@rrdancel Hi there! I paid them a total of P50,000. First half payment upon signing the agreement, and the other half, before they lodged my application.
hello maam nice content, same situation, but my concern is do i need to have the show money even if i have the 10kcad im so confused😞 thank you and God bless🙏
