'Rising problem' of ghost consultancies hits man who lost $12K trying to get Canadian visa for wife | CBC News
Briefly

Krishan Jogia's experience with Canada Global Migration Consultants (GMC) reveals the dangers of using unverified immigration consultants. Despite being a dual citizen, he spent thousands for a visitor visa for his wife, Luana. Initially impressed by GMC's polished online presence, Jogia later discovered their unethical practices when the consultant went missing and did not respond to their requests for a spousal visa. Eventually, they learned the consultant had left GMC due to its dubious operations. Regulatory bodies were notified of their situation, exposing the consultancy's illegal status in Canada.

We started really aggressively trying to pursue a refund, and that's when they just stopped replying and ignored us.
The company's name does not appear on the list of immigration consultancies permitted to operate in Canada, contrary to the law.
