This “m 98 world” manpower recruiting agency, mahooz offering 2 year canada work visa for all type of people (Skilled / unskilled) . They charge bd. 40 for registration from the candidate. And also they said 10 months for visa processing. I register there june 2011, that time they gave one receipt for 40 bahrain dinar, but that receipt they put one stamp also unfortunately that stamp is "m98 food" now my doubt how they can stamp these seal for manpower recruiting purpose, and also i saw their certificate of registration (Cr) , there cr activities is entirely difference from their profession (Manpower recruiting) . This is a single person company (Spc) . They daily gave big advertisement in all news papers and magazine. I contact this agency january 2012 through telephone and they told me february last is your medical in alkindi hospital, bahrain. But still they didn’t contact me yet. But if we call them theay are saying come and collect your medical form and take medical result from al kindi hospital, (Medical charge we want to pay bd. 150 / - to hospital) also we want to sign one declaration form from m98 world company. I met some other candidate their, they are also share the same story. Everybody saying if we contact they are saying we are planing to contact you. Also this hospital they have no information from any employer from canada also they have no responsibility for the job. If we go their they will take our medical result that’s all. (It’s their job we can’t say anything) . Now i want know about this m98 world company, is it geneuine company? Did they have any authorisation of manpoweer recruiting from bahrain? If anybody know about this company please reply.

Please don't take this as a bad comment. Of course anyone don't want to waste time, effort and money for nothing. This is an open forum of thoughts and opinions. If it is legal then of course they will be recommended. That's how it works, they help us then we help them too. It's a cycle. But if not, it's a different story.

Getting a work permit for Canada doesn't generally involve getting a medical examination (there are exceptions however). Also, you do not mention signing any work permit forms. If you have not signed your forms, then no work permit application could have been submitted for you. This is the official government web site. The forms are available for free here, and there is also information about getting a work permit in Canada. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/index.asp

This sounds like a scam.

Yes u have a point there.but how will we go about the matter if it's legal wat are the basis, m98 is not giving us full information, we do not wish you to be scammers or fraud, this means u clients are not fully satisfied, as an office there are many solutions to deal with dat.time is very precious today some left to there countries in trust to you maybe they resigned from there job.we respect your office but just give assurance that this thing is legal through proper documentation.

syengo is correct. all information must be provided to applicants. it doesn't mean that M98 is not collecting any recruitment fees, they are not liable for anything. applicants still spend their hard earned money to pay for the application, medical, pcc etc. all we need is assurance that M98 is really processing our papers legally. explain to us the STATUS of our application and which process our papers is in now. it should not be difficult on your part because you offer that service.

Till now they didnot send any candidate to canada?I think they are scammers.because they told only 7 months for process when i applied there.They may think that nobody will worry about 40 bd if not done.we have to respond and take action soon without waisting our precious time.They may disappear.it is their responsibility to explain each applicants about their processing?actually how are they doing?Now i felt they hide something from us.

In my opinion the issue is not just m98 in Bahrain I
The issue I know it's from the Canadian goverment... For Europeans no need for work permit or visa... But for Asians it's a major issue it take a lot of time for process unfortunately it's the sa, me if Asians wish to live n work abroad...i
If u think u can enter Canada easily then ur dreaming...read online on Canadian goverment website regarding work visa or visiting visa for Asians..., n the way I read it's not easy...

The last comment is incorrect. Europeans, Americans, Asians, and people from anywhere else in the world who are not Canadian need a work permit to work in Canada. Citizens of some countries do not need a visitor visa to visit Canada for short periods of time, but they still cannot work in Canada. And the work permit process is pretty much the same no matter what country you are from.

For those who registered in this fake recruitment, I was also caught by this ad but I have a strange feeling for this one.
if you noticed ion their advertisement, they only put their contact numbers but not any business address so it is unbelievable.
They even tell NO Recruitment Fee but once you register with them, they will charge you for a certain amount,
Now that you filed a complaint against this recruitment scam, as you notice, you can read a lot of people giving positive comments and feed backs to this. these people are working as one, they are all belong in this group who are making money so just approach the authority and share them your story but I believe you won;t be able to get your money back, anymore.

110 % sure .This sounds like a scam.. more than 20 people coming one day and registering in M98 with 40 BD . The calculation is very simple 20*40= 800 BD in one month it will be 24000 BD . last 2 year they are working here ..Full Profit . Very soon office will Close .boz cr is fake . they from balgaria they will escape.. NO ONE CAN FIND THEM...
WE ASKED ABOUT M 98 IN CANADIAN EMBASSY..THEY DONT KNOW ANYTHING about m98 Ltd
My dear friends there is no law like Canadian law now is open for candidates from India Philippines, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri lanka, Africa who work In GCC !

Any authorised hand in bahrain they can prevent this Canada Visa scam.. form the CID, or Expertes . please check how many people reach canada via M98.. and how many did the registration . boz myself ask the same qustions . as per the m98 policy they are not telling any thing .. boz they want to CLOSE BAHRIN BRANCH

Now the same thing is happening here in Qatar also. Once they mad as fool in Bahrain.

Now they are asking for 1500 QR for the visa processing, after 10 months they will call for medical and pcc.

It seems they are now ready to make the Qatar people also as fool. There office is located just opposite side of the Al Safa hotel Near the Jaida Bridge(Doha Musheirib).

So take Care alll...

i strongly believe that mideast countries dont do with such scams and fraud issue, , if that is the case who is involved in this as the islamic sharia condemns theft if you guys thing this is fraud you need to take actions with points in your hand as i have never heard this happeing in the mideast am a candidate who registered and am waiting for the fate, , if happens to be so the diginity will be so low if someone truly is responsible for this which i dont see happening, , , anyway lets be patient and see where all ends too..

i agree with you syengo. middle east is not known for scams and fraud issues, but as applicants we need proper answers and the company should not let us keep hanging. howcone M98 is not updating all these applicants? that is the main reason why these comments are here.

for you M98, i guarantee you that we are not your competitors. we are all applicants who are still waiting for something to happen. some are already waiting for a year and still no feedback from you. you have to consider being true to those who trusted your company. howcome until now, no one left for canada yet or maybe even other countries mentioned in your website? we need assurance that your company is real and legal. some already has taken a lot of money from their pockets to pay for medical and pcc but still no news from your company, WHY IS IT LIKE THIS? you can write here how your company is doing the step step process so we can understand. it's not just always saying you are legal, you have CR etc.
