I had opt for Arcade Visa Service (AVS) for AIPP process.
I was told by one of their employees, Shailja Pandey that AVS will help me in getting a job in Atlantic region in Canada. She told me that AIPP process takes not more than 6-8 months once I have done all my documentations. I joined their service on her saying and she promised me that they will schedule my interview with 5-6 different companies related to my stream.
I joined their service in September 2021 and initially I paid Rs 5,900 for my profile to get verified if I was eligible to work in Canada. Within 24 hours I got a positive response from them, saying I was eligible. Later they asked me to pay 60,000 Rupees plus GST which comes to Rs 70,800. I decided to pay in two instalments.
I paid my 1st instalment of Rs 41,300 on 20th September 2021. Once the payment was done, we made an agreement for 11 months, and she said within 11 months I will get a job if I crack the interview and fly to Canada. Later I completed all the required documents which I had to submit for this process.
I did my 2nd payment in January 2022 as Shailja was asking me to pay for the process. I got into her talks and made a very big mistake.
From 8th March 2022 till September end, I was waiting and was in a hope that AVS will give me an opportunity to have an interview with any company.
AVS had send my resume to only 7-8 company’s in one whole year and they lied me saying they are still applying to other companies, but never told me which company they are applying to. They told me only 6 companies in which they had applied.
Before giving them the money, Shailja used to call me everyday and later once I paid my full fees, she removed my number as if I was no one to AVS.
My 11 months contract got over but AVS didn’t even lined up 1 interview, and always told me they are working but all this was bullshit.
Later after calling thousands of time, begging them, my dad talked with his boss Akash Lahari, they paid me 36,000. The rest all money they just took.
I would like to say, everyone who are planning to join AVS, please don’t even think of doing that, AVS IS A FRAUD.
1- Akash Lahari – He is the boss of AVS, never pay to him. He doesn’t even understand his client problem, and can never solve our issues.
2- Shailja Pandey – Calling department for you to enrol
3- Shilpa Bhandari – Case Manager, never reply’s you correctly
4- Namit – Same, Case Manager, never reply’s you correctly
5- Bavleen
All these people are the members of AVS, never come in their trap, especially from Shailja Pandey.
Also one of my friend along with me is trap, they aren’t paying money to him as well.
Please be very careful, AVS IS A FRAUD!
