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.

if all these coments are coming from candidates who registered with this company for the last 12-14 mnths then its really dissapointing.probably most of the candidates have lost trust and respect to these individuals. sad experience indeed.

so what are we supposed to do? i am more than 14 months now still they did not call me. i called them they still say the same and told me NOT TO BELIEVE IN COMPLAINTS WRITTEN IN THE INTERNET. I said just answer our question, "what is the update on my application?" it seems that M98 has a lot of concerned applicants. the lady said that we just have to wait. i asked her just the same as I asked MARK (the one I had a long debate with here), until when are we supposed to wait? she told me that she cannot answer my question but USUALLY IT TAKES 10 MONTHS. I told her, so I am waiting for 15 months now what? she stopped, dead air on the phone, so I said "what is your answer to that? she said "JUST WAIT WE WILL CALL YOU!"

I think they are not threatened by people that the FOOL. they just get the money and that's it!

So you mean that all of us posting here are the 20% who have error or incorrect documents? Is that your best alibi? If there's ina problem with our documents then why no one is informing us so we can rectify it in order for us to have a successful application? It's more like abandoning the applicants, getting our money and leaving us nothing. Just answer our question, why we still dont hear from you? What will happen now?

Now, he is coming in Qatar. He contacts several people, and offering very good salary and working in Canada.
When I went to met him. He said, it will take long time to process the VISA.
He was also asking the money for register for about 800 QR.
One time I ever making call to him, but he was only talk a little bit, and close the conversation.
Right now, I really confusing ... when I read some comment above.
are they really scammers?
I don't want to be a looser.. Should I report to police regarding this things?

ouch 13 and the rest of you worthy and fellow highly esteemed and valued candidates! yes indeed I have been keenly following this conversation and it seems you are still STUCK at the same answer as before, and now added a new word PATIENTLY WAIT. m98 and the management thereof including Anne the secretary as well as "me" as you ouch13 earlier quoted me being one of the m98 world.com worker than client.
M98 WORLD.COM Is an Agency and is indeed responsible for vetting, interviewing and also forwarding your and my aka our documents to prospective employers per say, now the employer may agree to take you based on your credentials, that is fine, where trouble begins is the IMMIGRATION DEPARTMENT OF CANADA! It has many APPLICANTS From Job-seekers, asylum seekers, students, business, clergy, visit and tourists, family, green-card equivalent seekers, political, medical and so many other able cased seekers, from all over the world. this slows the process, just like any rush hour, there will be traffic jam and also heavy load carried by the roads, this of cause will cause delays, sometimes longer than usual, don't forget the legislators in the governments continue to change policies and demand immediate reviews and implementation of the same and updated to date. those in the know will agree with me that there are only limited personnel per every stage of the visa application process to handle the cases, now if you have a limited road carrier channel, with a load and traffic that is increasing in time, definitely there will be a build up, in communication we call this back log, for this to clear it takes time and hence may delay longer than usual, delay however doesn't mean that you have been denied, it means you wait a little longer than usually expected, we come from countries and even here in middle-east is no exception, that there are rush hour on our roads, remember these are government officers and need to break, take leave and so forth so on, having this in mind therefore, we have no basis to prove m98 is a scam or a corn for yes it may take even more months than the two months we have always perceived and ultimate them to and get that we nor m98 can force the immigration department to work faster, we are the ones applying so the candidates have no power whatsoever to dictate to any country to speed up their applications otherwise they may as well as reject, to our own loss, that is why m98 world.com has told us to wait for this is what they have been told. needless to add, those successful applicants cant be mentioned just to prove to you they have gone, we applied individually so we can not be right to demand for such, only the government can, also to say the list, classified information and how a business is run it does not expose how it works to the client for all you know they may as well as get them knocked out of business. that is why the secret manuals of a given firm are kept and for any infringement by a rival or competitor firm gets sued however duplicate, case in point Samsung galaxy and i phone. so let us not overstep boundaries demanding what is not forthcoming at all. how would you feel if you went to a doctor and the list of patients shown to clients has your name? you will sue the doctor automatically, that is why the records are kept in secrecy, lets not create more problems but seek solutions. some of us have paid and registered for others with our monies more than 200 dinar, we signed declaration forms, as you make noise, the website has been updated with their new branches and there is one in Canada Toronto, also in Saudi Arabia, so if the governments are comfortable to register the branches of m98, what investigations do you have to prove them as scam? we are quick to focus on the negative, we discredit the positive, go to any agency ask their Agency fee hear their response, you will run away, here is someone not asking for your agency fee, they will be paid by your [prospective employer, you pay for only your document and registration then go for medical, not at place of choice by m98 but the Canadian Government, how then do we accuse m98 world.com for cheating us when we sat down asked questions and got answered and felt okay signed a declaration form and now we cry foul? who has been called and told your application has failed, instead, we are the ones calling and getting no answer we desire since m98 has not got back your papers we cry fault! how quick we forget that Canadian visa process is a tedious one with many applicants and many requirements from some countries in Asia for verification and authenticity, so how many people applied before you, and after you, do we know if the government stopped temporarily the application process or not, so as to deal with the backlog? i bet you didn't know that too, so people, you are complaining and all illegal and backdoor agencies were halted from sending applications, only legal manpower agencies, which are few and m98 world.com is one of them was allowed access to. now the many legal firms are scrambling for m98 world.com to tender them as credible clients and we applicants are discrediting the same. i wonder, why cant we go on with what we are currently doing, until our papers are ready, we are called for medicals then we can either resign and prepare to go to Canada, or find something that will keep us going as we wait for the dream to materialized, that is what i will advise most of us, for those who left and cant afford to resign or pay the penalties of resigning, am sure when time comes we will be called at the right time and we will go, after all, a free ticket, free accommodation, free meals and free visa awaits, good things come to those who wait, and wait patiently, this could be our test, PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE, A GOD GIVEN GIFT AND NEVER TAUGHT IN CLASS AS A SUBJECT. better we exercise restraint, yes it may take longer, but let us not blame m98 for the legal written process is 10-1year, but owing to other factors, it may take even longer, these are factors beyond m98 world.com and we cant blame them but the government and since the government is always right no matter what, we are left to wait.

the years i meant was 10months-1year and more depending on the backlog. m98 will do what it can to keep loyal to you, the employers to be are to pay hefty agency fees as per the law of Canada same applies to Europe and USA so please be assured your papers are in safe hands people. patience definitely will pay, slow but sure is their policy at the immigration department, so lets do as they do. sorry for the inconvenience and if am sounding offensive to you am sorry, but that is the naked truth and reality.

sanjul, never in this world have i read or been told that a website has to tally with the company since it started its opperations. a website is an information centre and marketing tool to enlighten you about what the company has been doingo r is all about. so website may be 2011 but the company operations is more than that, dont get swayed by the website time of establishment, rather get the validated information from time to time. did you read in Daily Tribune that noe m98 is going to do immigration to the USA? IF YOU DINT KNOW NOW YOU KNOW.

Jacor, if for your sake I may tell you if you kindly allow me, its true m98 world.com has a branch in Bahrain, riyath and qatar branches, depending on the job you are appliying for you pay different amount, definately you dont expect that your papers will send themselves to your to be employer do you? They are shipped there and it uses money. That is the processing fee for your papers and administrative work, meaning the m98 world.com to your employer and the canadian officials along with your country immigration ministry logistics your papers have to go to and verification, the rest is as said for your Visa, ticket as per canadian law is catered by the employer, if the Agent Mr.Petrov in Qatar is asking for Agency fee then that is not legal, but this QR800 is your paper processing fees for Visa application, this varries as per the Job, the rank and also the currency value and what that country requires so as to send the documents! Nothing wrong there Mr.Jocor Thanks. Lets not expect everything is to be free, we need to do our part including medical and police certificate of good conduct, m98 world.com wont do this for us, that is our commitment to the proccess!
