Hello. I am an applicant to Canada for bechelors program and I was consulting with this agency to secure admissions to the list of universities I provided them. I paid the application fees of the universities which are easily around 200 CAD. I provided them with all documents and my admission was supposed to be for theJanuary intake but it was postponed for the May intake. And I still havent secured my offer letter. They have been giving me expenses and I cleared it all. Totally I paid them an amount of more than 50000 rupees. I have been cautious about their motives and suspected they were lying but recently they told me that send in my TOEFL scores on behalf of me and that I need to pay in that charge. I realized that since my toefl rxam was ibt, my scorr can only be sent in by logging into my ets account the credentials to which they do not have. I immediately mailed in at Vancouver island university and University of Manitoba and learned that my application was never submitted and that tjere is no application history under my name. The director of that agency previously told me that my application was submitted 3 months back and then that University of Manitona rejected me when I clearly know that I am completely eligible there. For Vancouver Island university they have not yet replied and now they are saying that I will get in for the september intake. They are just delaying it. I have all the mails from the university and the mails the director send me about VIU. However he did not sent in a single mail about the University of Manitoba.
What can I do here? I want to make them pay and ensure thay they never do anything like thst to another student. I also want my money back. I can get the evidence by recording his conversation about my rejection from Manitona and no replies fom VIU on my phone. Can I register an F.I.R for this at the nearest police station with the evidence once I secure them? Please suggest!!

It happened in India at Ahmedabad. $200 CAD was per university and it was more than 50000 indian rupees including their consultancy charges and mailing charge which were also paid by me which apparently were not done.
I scored a TOEFL score of 105 and a high school GPA of 7.5 whcih as per the eligibility criteria were fulfilled for Manitoba as well as other universities.

You did not mention where the agency is situated,if it is in India then send a Legal Notice to the said Agency calling them to refund your money as mentioned.If the said agency would not comply as per Notice then lodge a complaint to the Police and file a Criminal Case under jurisdiction of the said agency in Magistrate Court u/sec.156(3) Cr.P.C. charge with sec.420,406 and 427 IPC.

Are you sure 200 Canadian Dollars are worth Rs.50,000? Either your calculation is wrong or you have quoted some wrong figure (CAD or INR).

If you have achieved a minimum iBT score of 80, or a minimum PBT of 550 in TOEFL, only then you would have been eligible for admission in the University of Manitoba.

Anyway, you may better report the matter to the Better Business Bureau organisation at the following link:

You can register an F.I.R for this at the nearest police station with the evidence once you secure them provided the consultancy's office with which you were dealing is in India.
