Immigration applicants cannot reliably identify legitimate visa service providers from fraudulent onesCanadian visa applicants are losing money and time to scam companies posing as legitimate immigration consultants. People desperately need a way to verify whether a visa service provider is trustworthy before paying thousands of dollars, but current solutions (basic web searches, reviews scattered across platforms) fail to catch sophisticated scams. The consequences are financial loss, delayed applications, and emotional distress during an already stressful process.
