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 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 love how well documented all your videos are, always citing your sources!! I loved the table😂 And your story telling skills are amazing 👌🏻

Thanks Rachel..now I'm free from the false hope given by agencies..this one is of great help..😊 Keep'em coming😎👍

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💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I DIY my application and Thank Goodness my application was approved! There's a saying " knowledge is power" this video is a power!

One of your best videos ever, very honest and frank. So, a certified immigration consultant it is.

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 ! 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🙏.

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! 🤧

Hello! I like watching your videos because of how you put things together for people to understand. Keep it up.

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! 😭

this is very HELPFUL!!! I'm not aware about agency's before

thanks Rachel hope to see u one day in Canada. thank u for the detailed video

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.

Thanks, Rachel. very informative.

I like your vlog kabayan.. plain REAL talk walang "arte". Keep it up 👌

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.

What an informative video Rach!

Great Video!! Excellent analysis!!

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!!

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? :-)

Rachel, great content as always! Thanks for letting us pick up your brain to know the other side of these agencies.

thank you mam for this video u shared my agency told me to pay 4,000CAD for processing fee before she enroll me to their tie up schools

are the agencies you're talking about are different from consultancies?

Perfect as always !!👍🏻👍🏻

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... 🤣😂😇🤗

Love your videos !! Very helpful!!

You've done a good job on this! 👍

Love your videos! On the other hand, this makes me so anxious since I’ve been waiting for my student permit for weeks now. 🤞

Thank you po Ms Rachel because you warned others before they loose their money.

You are an Angel to us. Thank you so much. I will subscribe to your channel and please make more informative vlog for us.

This is an awareness. I got my study permit refused only if I knew this before paying my agency I better do the DIY.

Kung alam ko lang hindi ako ng agency!!! Please please learn from this vid. Thanks for this Rachel.

As always, a helpful video. Thank you for this! ❤

Hi Rachel! How about agencies who claim that part of the fee you’re paying is being paid for the service of their accredited immigration lawyer?

Proud to be a DIY after two months of figuring it out. I realized agencies are waste of hard earned money.

all i can say is thanks, God bless and more power!

also pls make a vlog about victoria bc (including UVic) thanks

Good advice, thanks!

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 🙏

Thanks you for this video😇

Very educational

such a great info thanks

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

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.

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,

Really appreciate your video

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

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?

You are great!!! Keep smiling 🙃

Hi, thanks for warning us. Is there any place with tips to how get the study permit? Because I have no idea how do apply.

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.

yay! another vid! thank u rachel!

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

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..

We need to talk Rachel, We need to!

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. 😭

Hey Rachel!! Really love your top! Where'd you get it from?

Great advised

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?

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.

Thank you sooo much

very informative video RR.

Hi ateee we appreciate this 🥺

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

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 😐

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?

Thank you po ate!

How do I find these paid representatives where I am living in Eastern African country called Ethiopia?

Hi Rachel!

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. 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

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 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! 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?

thank you for this

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

Hello po. Can I ask can you review the world connect?

And how about Growproexperience?

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?
