hi friends yesterday me and my friends visit m98 office al khobar .saudi arabia, they ask sr 2000 for starting the processing and it will take 10 to 12 month processing they offer lots of things and we agree to register next week.after reading all these comments we are confused, m98 world is fraud ?

Am so sad that we have no idea whom m98 world.com is dealing with in Canada. All we have to do is wait. If a physical address is given in Ontario and genuinely Located there, what is the proof we have that m98 world.com are really scammers? All we get is word of Mouth and no evidence, let us be shown the evidence then we can agree to tarnish the company. I personally did go to the canadian website and read the requirements applied and where I found it not easy is to deal with Lawyers whom when I googled prooved to be con men&women. For your information the Canada Goverment had to stop many genuine and brifcase manpower firms c Agencies that were dealing with legal and illegal manpower to Canada. M98 world.com was given a greenlight and thus establishment of the office there. Ofcause m98 world.com has its time line, but the government of Canada and ESPECIALLY GIVEN STATES HAVE DIFFERENT RULES TO GOVERN THEM! If truely we have exhausted all these avenues then we can discredit m98 world.com, people listen to yourselves, you knew it wasnt easy to Go to Canada neither getting a Canadian Visa, Margarita has taken the risk to shoulder your risk, and also am just amazed that we have a thought that the government of Canada MUST RECOGNIZE m98 world.com, Hallow they have an office there, have you any idea how hard it is to establish an office there especially that of manpower? Try see ask or research, its much harder than getting a Visa, who would go to such limits to con anyone of such funds, besides its not you but the companies hiring you through m98 world.com that will pay your agency fees, do you think they will run themselves down to con us the 94 &118 Dollars to miss the big fund of Agency fee that runs their organisation? Think bigger. M98 world.com wouldnt do such things and miss out on the bigger picture, camon people, whats with the threats? Syengo what happened to those credible sources that they got information of 1st bunch of candidates from m98 world.com, now you are threatening to go to media and tarnish m98 world.com name, for what gains exactly. Also would anyone in their right mind establish offices in GCC, Canada, Europe&Africa to con People. If the office is moved in Bahrain, is not to con but to be closser to clients, isnt manama accessible than mahooz? Think people think. Its all for your own good. M98 world.com will tell you what they know, if Canada changes rules or halts or decides new laws, who is m9b to go against them, it is better to comply, be glad 1st bunch is gone, patiently wait for your turn, so what if you report the case then there is no sufficient evidence, wont you look the fool here, also wouldnt it be a waste of time and still wait. We were simply told to wait for their call, now if they have no answer other than wait, since m98 world.com is told our papers are still in the process, what will you do about it? For those who want to join m9b world.com to seek for a job you are welcome, kindly find out which office is closer or better yet call m98 with the contacts on their website www.m98world.com. Other than the few here, we are many more waiting. Syengo provide more information discrediting m98 world.com as a scam with evidence too then we can sail with your ship, as of now.., not yet convinced, am sorry. By the way, am waiting while still working, its a wise thing to do, if you can otherwise, its foolish to wait invain what will give you an upkeep till your turn comes, dont be a problem but part of the solution and dont turn all your failures and frustrations to m98 world.com! We can do better than this.

Mr.Mark.us I think you are working with M98 and making fools to innocent peoples, I also applied in June 2011 but there is no answer from M98 always telling wait, wait, wait,
wait for what to f*** margarita sorry bro she is expensive, I can offer only BD 2 for Margarita, otherwise they can open other business & nobody blame,
tell them to sale their body (money for sex) best job is good for them.
(tu banja salay Dalaal tu bhi kamayega)

mark, , i just dont understand anything yet here, , , , hope this company will make me understand ..but when?thats the question, , i have many options and am working also, , but my pain comes from those who left there jobs being promised miracles that at last wont happen i pitty, , will they recover?

To All,
My name is Junrey U. Balondo, registered with M98 last October 2011 and same with other guys here i am still waiting for the status of my application... but i am not worried about the whether or not the M98 is a fraud... because of only one thing... in GCC Countries, even one single complaint against any individual or company, the concern authorities will directly conduct an investigation, and we are all aware their system here unlike from my country (Philippines), here, they will put you first in jail while conducting an investigation. besides, i am working as an admin officer, so i can relate with Mark when it comes to processing the documents with the government, there is nothing we can do but to wait until they finished it. plus, i know much of us is aware how hard to get a visa of any kind in countries like Canada or America, because if not, we will not be needing any recruitment firm for us to go there.. guys.. "PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE"

Here is the official government of Canada Immigration website. If you feel that your application is taking too long to process, you can check the status here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index-can.asp

You can also enter your information under the "check application status" tab. If an application has been filed, you will see what stage it is at on the website. Most of the people posting here appear to be from Bahrain and applying for work permits. In that case, you should have received a response in about 5 months.

This company appears to be a scam. I would not trust the information they are providing. You do not need to rely on other people to do your research for you, there is lots of information for free that you can get directly from the Canadian government.

Results:
The electronic Client Application Status tool is not available for the application you have applied for.
Thanks BLOVED... :)
I guess i have to wait for the advice from M98..

All I can say is: IF YOU APPLIED INDIVIDUALLY THEN YOU CAN TRACK ONLINE YOUR APPLICATION FORMS. IF YOU HOWEVER TRIED PERSONALY, FAILED OR FELL SHORT OF THE REQUIREMENTS AND TURNED TO AGENCIES WHICH ARE CREDIBLE AND CAN GET YOU THERE, TOU HAVE NO CHOICE THAN WAIT SINCE THAT IS THEIR JOB TO TRACK YOUR APPLICATION AND GET YOU THE END DESIRED RESULT. THATS WHY THEY GET PAID FOR THE JOB DOING IT ON YOUR BEHALF INTERMS OF AGENCY FEES BY YOU OR BY YOUR EMPLOYER. I keep asking myself this question, this is a worldwide web and many including govermnents read this but dont raise a Red flag or any one come up to disqualify with valid evidence that m98 world.com is a scam amd all that is done here is heighten and spread unconfirmed fears, and rumours that get us nowhere. If canada doesnt raise the red flag and m98 world.com have an office and many lawyers there are scrumbling for m98 world.com to be linked to her since she is a Legal manpower recruitment Agency, Bulgarians themselves dont raise alarm about this, how can one have a fat wallet to corrupt the systems, I believe with one you can but in Gulf Countries, Africa, Europe and USA CANADA? We know the process is Long and can take more than a year since its not only m98 world.com but many applicants from all over the world applying, m98 world.com hasnt asked you for agency fee and tells you your employer to be will pay your agency fee according or as per law Labor requirements of Canada regarding expatriates? Am more buffled! Lets not be part of the problem but Solution.

Employers interested in hiring temporary foreign workers are required to go through a specific process to bring them to Canada. The Temporary Foreign Worker Program is a federal program. It is designed to meet temporary labour needs – the workers are in Canada to fill short-term gaps in the labour force. Several government departments are involved in the process and it is important to understand what roles the federal and provincial governments play. In general, the process includes the following steps:

Employers must advertise the job opportunity to Canadians first.
If there are no Canadians or permanent residents available for the job, the employer can recruit a qualified foreign worker.
The employer can then make an offer of employment to the foreign worker.
The employer then completes the application for a Labour Market Opinion.
If the Labour Market Opinion is positive, the employer sends a copy to the foreign worker.
The foreign worker then applies for a work permit in their country of residence (outside Canada).
The foreign worker must then prove that he / she meets the job and admission to Canada requirements.

The role of the Government of Canada

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC)
Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) is the Government of Canada agency that processes and assesses employers' applications to hire temporary foreign worker applications and issues Labour Market Opinions (LMO). HRSDC ensures that employers have made every effort to hire and train Canadian citizens or permanent residents and that hiring a foreign worker does not affect employment or career opportunities for Canadians and permanent residents. Therefore, if employers want to hire a foreign worker they need to receive a positive LMO from HRSDC before they can bring a worker from abroad to work in Alberta.
To find out about the new minimum advertising requirements for the LMO application, visit: http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/workplaceskills/foreign_workers/communications/advertrecrutment.shtml
Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC)/Service Canada has implemented a new Accelerated Labour Market Opinion Initiative (A-LMO). This initiative applies to employers hiring temporary foreign workers in higher skilled positions. Employers who are eligible can apply, and if approved, will receive an A-LMO from HRSDC within 10 business days.
For more information visit: http://www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/workplaceskills/foreign_workers/communications/a-lmo.shtml
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC)
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is the Government of Canada department that manages immigration policies and programs. This includes the processing and issuance of permanent and temporary resident permits, including work permits. Foreign workers must obtain a work permit before entering Canada to work.
Good luck by-Habeeb

The following are the steps in the process:
Step 1: Determine the skill level required to do the job

The National Occupational Classification (NOC) defines skill levels. NOC defines categories of work:

The skilled worker category (NOC categories 0, A and B) includes managerial, professional or technical occupations (e.g. hotel managers; cooks and chefs, Drivers– these usually require post-secondary education - trade certificate, college diploma, or university degree);
The semi-skilled worker category (NOC categories C and D) includes jobs that require lower levels of formal training (e.g. food and beverage servers, chambermaids – usually require a high school diploma and some on-the-job training or job-specific courses);

Government of Canada: National Occupational Classification (PDF)

Step 2: Fill out the Foreign Worker - Labour Market Opinion application form

There are two options for employers applying for LMOs – regular and accelerated.

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC)/Service Canada has implemented a new Accelerated Labour Market Opinion Initiative (A-LMO). This initiative applies to employers hiring temporary foreign workers in higher skilled positions. Employers who are eligible can apply, and if approved, will receive an LMO from HRSDC within 10 business days.

To be eligible to participate in the A-LMO Initiative employers must:

have been issued at least one positive LMO in the previous two years
have a clean compliance record with the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) within the last two years
have agreed to all of the attestations included in the A-LMO application
have consented to participate in a post A-LMO compliance review
not have been the subject of an investigation, infraction or a serious complaint
not have any unresolved violations or contraventions under provincial laws governing employment and recruitment

The A-LMO Initiative applies only to skilled workers classified under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill type O, (managerial occupations) or skill level A (professional occupations) or B (technical occupations and skilled trades).

At the present time, employers hiring for film, entertainment and agriculture sectors must apply under the regular LMO process. For more information, visit www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/workplaceskills/foreign_workers/communications/a-lmo.shtml.

If you are not eligible to use the A-LMO, then obtain a copy of the Foreign Worker - Labour Market Opinion Application from Service Canada.

Complete the application and include the following information and documentation:

Proof you have advertised on the Government of Canada's national Job Bank for a minimum of fourteen (14) calendar days during the three (3) months prior to applying for a LMO. The advertisement must include the employer's name, business address and wages being offered.
A job description that includes working conditions (hours of work, wage rates, etc.) and required qualifications.
An offer of employment that respects federal and provincial legal and regulatory requirements and collective agreements.

A copy of the employment contract signed by the employer and by foreign worker (in a semi-skilled position).

If you know the name of the person you want to hire, please include his/her name as well as date of birth and country of birth on the application.

If you don’t know the name of the person you want to hire, indicate on the top of your LMO application “PRE-APPROVAL ONLY” so that you get approval in principal which will allow you to continue looking for a foreign worker you want to hire. Usually Service Canada allows you between six and 12 months to identify a foreign worker and provide their personal information to get final approval.

If you are hiring more than one foreign worker for the same type position (e.g. five chambermaids) you can submit one application for all of them on the LMO application. You must indicate the number of foreign workers you are want hire on the LMO application.

Government of Canada: Foreign worker program application forms

Step 3: Send application to Service Canada

Apply online, or fax your completed Foreign Worker - Labour Market Opinion application and supporting documents to Service Canada at [protected], or mail to:
Service Canada Foreign Worker Unit
Suite 1440 Canada Place
9700 Jasper Avenue
Edmonton, Alberta T5J 4C1
Step 4: Labour Market Opinion (LMO)

Service Canada's role is to assess and provide their opinion on how the hiring of a temporary foreign worker will impact the Canadian labour market. If your application for a temporary foreign worker is approved, you will receive confirmation in writing. This confirmation letter permits a specific position to be filled by a specific foreign worker for a specific time period. This document is not a work permit.
Step 5: Approval and job offers

After you obtain a Labour Market Opinion approval letter, send a copy of the letter to the recruited temporary foreign worker, along with your employment contract, which must indicate how long you are offering a job to a temporary foreign worker. The LMO is issued for the same period of time.

If you are hiring semi-skilled workers (C or D of the NOC) an employment contract must be sent to foreign workers you want to hire, and must be signed by you (the employer).
In accepting the job offer, the temporary foreign worker must sign the employment contract and return it to the employer.
In addition, the employer should inform the recruited temporary foreign worker that the cost of his / her airfare and health care coverage will be paid by the employer (this is a mandatory requirement).

Step 6: Work permit, visas, medicals

Once a job offer has been made and accepted and the LMO letter has been sent to a temporary foreign worker, the worker must apply for a work permit. In most situations, the foreign worker must apply for a work permit from outside of Canada usually at the Canadian visa post in their home country. In some instances, the temporary foreign worker may apply for a work permit at a port of entry upon his/her arrival in Canada (under NAFTA).

Temporary foreign workers from some countries must also obtain a Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) before arriving in Canada. The applications for a TRV should be submitted when the application for a work permit is submitted. TRV and work permit applications will be considered at the same time. Temporary foreign workers are responsible for providing all documents that may be requested by the immigration officer to prove that they are qualified to meet the job requirements. They must also meet health, criminality and security admissibility criteria to be admitted to Canada.

In some cases, before coming to Canada, temporary foreign workers may require an immigration medical examination.

Please note that the time required to complete the process of bringing a temporary foreign worker to Alberta may be depend on Canadian visa post and work permit processing times, which vary from country to country.

The following are the steps in that process:
Step 1: Determine the skill level required to do the job

The National Occupational Classification (NOC) defines skill levels. NOC defines categories of work:

The skilled worker category (NOC categories 0, A and B) includes managerial, professional or technical occupations (e.g. hotel managers; cooks and chefs – these usually require post-secondary education - trade certificate, college diploma, or university degree);
The semi-skilled worker category (NOC categories C and D) includes jobs that require lower levels of formal training (e.g. food and beverage servers, chambermaids – usually require a high school diploma and some on-the-job training or job-specific courses);

Employers who are eligible can apply, and if approved, will receive an LMO from HRSDC within 10 business days.

To be eligible to participate in the A-LMO Initiative employers must:

have agreed to all of the attestations included in the A-LMO application
have consented to participate in a post A-LMO compliance review
not have been the subject of an investigation, infraction or a serious complaint
not have any unresolved violations or contraventions under provincial laws governing employment and recruitment

The A-LMO Initiative applies only to skilled workers classified under the National Occupational Classification (NOC) skill type O, (managerial occupations) or skill level A (professional occupations) or B (technical occupations and skilled trades).

At the present time, employers hiring for film, entertainment and agriculture sectors must apply under the regular LMO process. For more information, visit www.hrsdc.gc.ca/eng/workplaceskills/foreign_workers/communications/a-lmo.shtml.

If you are not eligible to use the A-LMO, then obtain a copy of the Foreign Worker - Labour Market Opinion Application from Service Canada.

Complete the application and include the following information and documentation:

Proof you have advertised on the Government of Canada's national Job Bank for a minimum of fourteen (14) calendar days during the three (3) months prior to applying for a LMO. The advertisement must include the employer's name, business address and wages being offered.

What do I do if I want to extend the foreign worker's contract?

Employers of Temporary Foreign Workers may apply for a new Labour Market Opinion (LMO) when the employee's work permit needs to be extended. The approved LMO and a letter of employment should then be provided to the worker to apply to extend their work permit through Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC).

Government of Canada: Foreign worker program application forms
Government of Canada: Application to change conditions or extend your stay in Canada as a worker

What do I do if I want to keep my temporary foreign workers permanently?

If you decide to offer permanent employment to your foreign workers, you can nominate them through the Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP) for permanent resident status. You can only nominate foreign workers who are hired into the skilled positions (NOC levels 0, A or B) and some selected semi-skilled positions (NOC C and D).

moopan ..

thats the reality about all information regarding temporary work permit, , , opposite to those this company is telling us here, , , maybe the have there own part of canadian work permit process, , , if they could not tell me what an LMO is at the first place, , , wasting peoples time

well well well...seems a lot are finally coming to their senses! i have spoken to the lady last week of october and promised that me and my friends will receive the job offer supposedly last november. LET ME ASK THIS AGAIN...WHAT IS THE DATE NOW? "WAIT WAIT WAIT!" that is the only answer we get from M98. it is ok to wait but waiting for nothing is a different story!

GUYS MAYBE WE CAN SET A DATE WHEN ALL OF US CAN GO TO M98 ALL THE SAME TIME! LET'S PUT AN END TO OUR MISERY AND SQUEEZE THE TRUTH OUT OF M98.

if they are unable to answer us, then media will do it's works and let the police take care of them after being exposed. let's not tolerate people like them to take advantage of us.

ALSO FOR ALL YOUR INFORMATION, THERE IS NO OFFICE IN CANADA! THE ADDRESS WRITTEN IN THEIR WEBSITE IS A HOME ADDRESS WHERE IT IS SITUATED IN THE RESIDENTIAL AREA OF WINDSOR, ON! IF THIS IS A REGISTERED OFFICE THEY SHOULD HAVE A TELEPHONE NUMBER REGISTERED UNDER THEIR COMPANY NAME! MY UNCLE WENT TO THIS PLACE AND DID NOT FIND ANY OFFICE!

Using employment agencies
Do employment agencies have to be licensed to do business in Alberta?

Businesses are required to be licensed by Service Alberta. Regardless of where they are located, if they help employers in Alberta find employees, help employees find work in Alberta, or evaluate or test people for employers seeking employees. Under the Fair Trading Act, all businesses are required to have an Employment Agency Business Licence, including employment or recruitment agencies.

back to top

Why does the province license employment agencies?

The province licenses employment agencies to prevent problems in the marketplace.

Sometimes employment agencies charge foreign workers a job placement fee but fail to provide the promised jobs or fail to meet contractual requirements. The province introduced the legislation by establishing regulatory guidelines to prevent or reduce the potential for misrepresentation, fraud or exploitation of workers.

back to top

What are the rules on licensing employment agencies that are based in other provinces, but are recruiting workers for Alberta companies?

If the employment agency is acting on behalf of employers hiring for positions in the Province of Alberta, the agency must be licensed under the Alberta Employment Agency Business Licensing Regulations, which follows the regulations of the Canadian Fair Trading Act.

back to top

How, if at all, do those rules vary if the company is recruiting temporary foreign workers overseas for an Alberta company?

The regulations apply to any employment agency securing employees for positions in Alberta. They must be licensed under the Alberta Employment Agency Business Licensing Regulations.

back to top

What fees can employment agencies charge workers?

An employment agency cannot directly or indirectly demand or charge a fee, reward or other compensation to a person seeking employment or information about employers seeking employees, or for securing employment or information about any employer. To do so is an offence and illegal under the Alberta Employment Agency Business Licensing Regulation.

Employment agencies may charge a fee for services provided, relating to the preparation of a resume, but the agency cannot require a person to purchase these services as a condition of the agency's job placement services. If the agency charges fees for a resume, these must be clearly indicated and visible in their business premises and in the contract with their client.

back to top

What fees can employment agencies charge the companies that they are recruiting for?

The regulation does not address the issue of fees or contractual requirements for the business clients of employment agencies. The fees are compatible with the common business practices in that industry.

back to top

How, if at all, are those fee-regulations different if an employment agency is recruiting temporary foreign workers abroad for an Alberta company?

The regulation applies to all situations in which an employment agency is securing persons for employment in Alberta, securing employment for persons in Alberta or evaluating or testing persons for employers where the individual is in Alberta or the position is in Alberta. In other words, it does not make any difference if the agency is recruiting workers abroad – the rules are the same – workers cannot be charged a placement fee.

back to top

One Alberta company representative told me that a few companies from Toronto have approached him, boasting that their claim to fame is that the company doesn't have to pay any fees. The worker pays everything. Is that allowed under the Fair Trading Act?

No. That is a completely false statement. Employment agencies cannot charge job placement fees to workers, regardless where they operate in Canada.

back to top

An Ontario company which is not licensed in Alberta recruited a group of Romanian Temporary Foreign Workers for three Edmonton area companies. Someone at that company claimed his legal counsel told him that since he does not have an office in Alberta, he does not have to be licensed here? Is that the case? Please explain.

If the company is securing employment for Albertans or securing employees for positions in Alberta, it is required to be licensed in Alberta - and must provide a business address in Alberta.

Out-of-province employment agencies must provide an Alberta address for a person who can act for the business, such as a lawyer.

back to top

He also said that because he registered his employment agency business federally, he can operate in any province? Is that true? Please explain.

There is no federal license registration of this nature as the licensing and registration of businesses is a provincial jurisdiction. He may be referring to a federal incorporation of his company. If that is the case, his company would also have to be registered provincially, in Alberta.

Incorporation does not provide the business with a licence required to operate. The business would still be obligated to meet municipal or provincial licensing requirements.

Ms.Ouch13
If you have an uncle in Canada it was better and easy for him to find an employer and receive job offer
for you from that employer rather than go and search the M98 office in Canada.So what we believe?

My Fellow applicants especially Moopan, Syengo and Ouch13; I am so glad that you are quite informed and bring up healthy issues of relevance to discuss.

I as ussual will be on the disagreeing side till FULLY CONVINCED WITH TANGIBLE EVIDENCE.

NOW www.cic.gc.ca/..apply-how.asp Apply-skilled workers and professionals 7 Nov 2012: as of July 1, 2012, CIC= CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATOIN CANADA Has TEMPORARLY STOPPED ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE FEDERAL SKILLED PROGRAM.

BREAKING NEWS: FEDERAL SKILLED WORKER PROGRAM WILL RE-OPEN IN MAY 2013
www.canadavisa.com Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) Has ANNOUNCED the NEW POINTS SYSTEM for FEDERAL SKILLED WORKER PROGRAM (FSWP) will take effect on May 4TH 2013 at that time, the Program will Begin ACCEPTING APPLICANTS TO ITS SKILLED WORKER CATEGORY OF THE FSWP THAT HAS BEEN CLOSED SINCE MID-2012 SO THAT NECCESSARY CHANGES COULD BE MADE TO SELECTION CRITERIA.
THE NEW SELECTION SYSTEM FOR THE FEDERAL SKILLED WORKER PROGRAM FSWP IN CANADA WILL TAKE EFFECT ON 4TH MAY NEXT YEAR WHEN THE PROGRAME WILL RE-OPEN FOR APPLICATIONS IT HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED. IT WILL ENSURE THAT CANADA IS SELECTING THE SKILLED IMMIGRANTS THAT IT NEEDS ECONOMICALLY AND WHO ARE THE MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED AND FULLY REALISE THEIR POTENTIAL. ACCORDING TO CIC AND MULTICULTURALISM MINISTER JASON KENNEY.

This also allows the Canadian government to deal with the backlog of applications.

Now the normal process takes one year, having stopped the process mid 2012 what are you to do other than wait till the process starts to roll again? Its amazing that some of us are so quick to download the process yet after appliying for FREE CANADA IMMIGRATION ASSESMENT FORM! They fell short of the requirements then sought for M98 world.com as their bridge to their dream and now so quick to critique and condemn m98 world.com so if they froze the process what do you expect m98 world.com to tell you? Yes there may have started to grant you the Visa but Government froze it. Kindly check the reason why, and so how do we know what reliable sources we have no communication with as gospel truth that indeed they checked and got no office there, or if we know the process so much than m98 World.com to ask for information they cant avail to you now and also if we can apply and make it why did you use m98 world.com then and do you expect the paper processing to be free, let alone sending them to and fro and sending required documents, can you fund that too? We like to bite the hand that feeds us. If you lost faith in m98 world.com or got impatient then dont demonise the organisation for no apparent reason. All you need to know is there, google, I dint need to bother m98 world.com to know this information. Let them do their job professionaly and that is why you will get deaf ears and eyes coz you rush too much and prove you know alot that you hardly do and incite people. So go ahead now and demo see who will hear you let alone pay an ear. Ahaaaaaaaah, its just amazing how we cant prove m98 world.com since they do their business Legally and professionaly. I have no appologies to make since what you are engaging in my dear Learned friends and coleagues is an exercise in futility! PATIENCE PAYS! I still say lets exhaust all avenues, for sure we cant be the 1st to call m98 world .com fraudsters and scam simply because they dont divulge and cave in to demands so as to satisfy our appetite some of us hardly have not clocked a year yet and we are the Loudest mouths to yap here, shame on us really, REALLY?!

moopan, yes i have an uncle in canada and we are trying to find a job directly from there. but when i saw this M98 offering jobs in canada i said why not? i am still looking for ways to go there and it's not because i have a relative in canada means i can easily go there. if i have a lot of money to show then for sure i am already there. unfortunately not so i have to find other ways that can help me. so i found m98, i was really happy when i registered. but see now, my hopes and dreams are slowly breaking. it's been 16 months and i am still waiting.
and also, mapoon bear in mind that finding a job in a country where you don't reside is not as easy as you think. my uncle is still asking around to get me a job. you believe in what you believe.

Junrey Balondo and Subash and all readers thankyou for your understanding my way of thought and Reason. Moop, Syengo and Ouch13 NEWS FLASH!

BREAKING NEWS: FEDERAL SKILLED WORKER PROGRAM will REOPEN in May2013

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has announced the NEW POINTS SYSTEM for Federal SKilled Worker Program (FSWP) will take effect on May 4th 2013 At that time, the PROGRAM will BEGIN accepting APPLICATIONS to its SKILLED WORKER CATEGORY of the FSWP that has been closed since Mid-2012 so that NECCESSARY CHANGES COULD BE MADE to the SELECTION CRITERIA.
*THE NEW SELECTION SYSTEM for the FEDERAL SKILLED WORKER PROGRAM(FSWP) in Canada will take EFFECT on 4thMay Next Year when the Program ill RE-OPEN for APPLICATIONS it has been Announced. It will ENSURE that Canada is Selecting the Skilled Immigrants that it Needs Economically and who are the MOST likely to Succeed and FULLY realise their Potential, According to CIC and MULTICULTURALISM Minister Jason Kenney. So what can you m98 world.com not even WWICS GROUP you and I or any relevant Government authority can do anything about it but wait.
*severaly I have and will tirelessly warn you not to dictate terms, demand which system or what office or even be shown documents just to satisfy your selfish appetites and risk running m98 world.com out of business, you INDIVIDUALLY failed to get the VISA REQUIREMENTS SOLO, NOW YOU TRIED M98 WORLD.COM and they have PROFESSIONALY HANDLED IT FOR YOU! patience pays, Good things come to those who wait and also nothing good comes easy, if the deal is too good think twice, m98 world.com did their part at Best, they cant dictate what the canadian Government can or cant do so all applicants all over the world got to wait just as does the Legal Manpower Agencies (as well as Illegal Agencies, Lawyers and Agents that are rendered redundant now by the new system). Am so glad m9b world.com is a legal Manpower recruitment Agency professionaly handling issues as well as trusted with many Governments and thats why they are growing.

None has shown us reason to doubt m9b world.com, we all took the FREE CANADA IMMIGRATION ASSESSMENT FORM (FCIAF) DID OUR LABOR MARKET OPINION FORMS (LMOF) and fell short of the needed requirements. I told you the major problem was BACKLOG APPLICATIONS AHEAD OF US, but you didnt listen and spread rumours they dumped your papers and burrned them in a garbage bin, and many other tarnishing things, I told you to cook your heels but instead chose to show your prowess at it and couldnt prove me wrong, now am having the last laugh since i stuck with the truth. Now go ahead and take that action see what evidence you will give against m98 world.com and who will listen to the noise you are making? Dont tell what m9b world what to do call it a scam and a fraud and havent proved a thing, am sad that you want them to use their resources to fund your registration, paper processing and all the needed comminication with your governments, past employers, canada, and you for free, they havent asked for Agency fee from you, they need your commitment and its a Legal procedure to show your commitment to the process willfuly and not at gun point so that you dont attract Heavy penalty to the Agency but abide and this is always non refundable, you did and signed a declaration form having been told what it is that you are getting in to. So why would you turn and threaten, bite, trash spread rumours and lies about what you have no clue about? Ofcause thats why it hasnt worked yet for there was truth and now you know, people dont accept lies and rumours, this is a trusted Agency and will grow even bigger! I told you while you wyne and cry, m9b world.com is working. What would you do about it other than WAIT PATIENTLY! YOUR EMPLOYERS ARE THE ONES TO WORRY ALOT FOR THE GUARANTEE THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT ASKS OF THEM BECAUSE OF YOU AS WELL AS THEIR REQUIREMENTS SO THAT YOU GET THERE INCLUSIVE OF THEM PAYING YOUR AGENCY FEE.. i dont get why you fret endlessly.

Mr.Mark
Temporary Foreign worker program(TFWP) and Federal skilled worker Prgram is two different work program.I think our category falls in TFWP.

Who is a federal skilled worker?
Skilled workers are chosen as permanent residents based on their education, work experience, knowledge of English and/or French, and other factors. These things often help them succeed in Canada.
People can apply to immigrate to Canada under "Federal skilled worker" category. Skilled workers apply under this category if they want to live in any Canadian province or territory except Quebec.
Skilled workers who want to live in Quebec apply under a separate category. The province of Quebec selects its own skilled workers. Applicants who intend to go to Quebec are known as "Quebec-selected" skilled workers.

Guys, do you have updates regarding this company?.. is this really fraud? thanks

Guys what happened to your applications? is still pending? thanks

Mr. Moopan We cant say a Branch doesnt belong to the tree. The difference between Temporary Foreign Worker Program TFWP and Federal Skilled Worker Program FSWP is, TFWP requires atleast 1 Year Experience working in GCC, adoptability and endurance in Gcc, Proven expertise and Education in the Skilled filled mentioned while FSWP requires 1 Year Experience working in Canada, then Work Experience and also adoptability and endurance to life in Canada, the two fall under CITIZEN IMIGRATION CANADA (CIC).Federal Skilled Worker Program FSWP & Temporary Foreign Worker Program TFWP use the same selection Criteria to vet SKILLED WORKERS immigrating to CANADA, whether Permanently or Temporarly the work force entering Canada is thereby considered Skilled and thus point system awarded as per your qualification level of Skill and Experience.

My Proof stems from 3 sources namely:

U-turn on SKILLED WOrker Program
18 May, 2012 BY Everlyn Acheh Issue.

With the above, I believe we see a Tree has branches with leaves facing different directions but still on same branch and pool in the same trank and therefore the desired fruit is Uniform as above. We belong to both hence when the program was stopped, both were put on pose, to deal with backlog as well as upgrade the SELECTION CRETERIA POINTS SYSTEM used to vet Aplicants, reducing initially from 24 Months to 12 Months =1 Year and lastly talk of from 1 Year to just Months. So we see and believe that TFWP &FSWP is like our right and Left hands of same body. Nobody has two strong arms 1 is usually the lead and strongest the other weak and subject but equally strong and same as the other hand.

*Pol_dish M98 world.com is a Legal, Professional and genuine Manpower Recruitment Agency and hence Trustworthy, Read my coments and you will know.
*Ouch13 I wish you the very Best in your alternative ways to get to Canada. Hope when all is said done and dust settles I meet you there and we have coffee reflecting this very page and Laughing.

Mr.Moopon I tend to disagree and say branches of a tree however different sides they face still have the same stem that anchors them, Similarly different roads take different route but end you in the same destination desired. Ofcause the in roads to a city may be many but pool at some point to enter the very city. Also we cant say Class or Grade 1 or Kindergarten is not a school, infact its that foundation that we build the others on.
Having said that, I dont believe Temporary Foreign Worker Program TFWP is that different from Federal Skilled Worker Program FSWP
THE DIFFERENCE COMES IN THIS MANNER: while TFWP ESPECIALY those who applied in GCC have to have 1year work experience, skills and also adoptability and endurance in GCC atleast a year plus, As for FSWP a 1 year work Experience in Canada& atleast 2years stay in Canada.
Therefore yes they use different places but the same SELECTION POINTS SYSTEM CRETERIA, And when the Citizenship Immigration Canada Department (CIC) which IS THE POOL THAT FSWP&TFWP draw from, then that is possibly true. Again TFWP may not so much APPLY to us since we are not seeking for the EMPLOYER directly but are using a MANPOWER RECRUITMENT AGENCY which is the Link between us and Employer and therefore could be using a different model more so that of FSWP and that is why we are told after 1year we can apply for Canada Visa, which model/class/program better handles this than FSWP? TFWP is the model with which we can source for employers and place our application for work, then employer taking you you go through that model personally! Federal skilled worker Program does the same but here its the employer seeking for you. The new changes therefore affect the same system and hence end up affecting us, if they are so different why did the temporary pause to upgrade the FSWPprogram affect us then if we are in the TFWP? I dont think so.
Now here are three Sources that can Help us better

*If you read the last part of Permanent Job Offer point you will realise that ARRANGED EMPLOYMENT FACTOR (AEF) and FEDERAL SKILLED WORKER PROGRAM (FSWP) are more closer to us than the TEMPORARY FOREIGN WORKER PROGRAM, We are not being taken to temporarly fill the gap but with prospects of staying there and not change our minds midway. That is why when the system got paused it affected all of us.

I believe now we understand each other better, am not dismissing Temporary Foreign Worker Program but am enlightening the possibility that m98 world.com could be in the ARRANGED EMPLOYMENT FACTOR for Permanent Job Offers on Contractual Basis than the Temporary Foreign Worker Program.

* Pol_dish m98 world.com is a Legal Manpower Recruitment Agency handling and dealing with Clients Professionaly and operating as per the Laws and Requirements of the country of operation where the offices are based, the employers country and also the countries where the clients are coming from. Its not a scam, con, neither is it a fraud.

God bless you, God bless us and God bless m98 world.com ‎

i really appreciate mark.us and moopan about how they discussed all about this, it helps me a lot to understand how my application goes on, , , but on my point, we cannot blame those people who still waiting for almost 1 1/2 year and yet the they were saying that whenever they call m98 they were only saying wait wait and wait, , , but if they let people understand about all these things rather than the applicants are the ones explaining it properly i think it didn't come to a point that they need to throw foul words as it was cited above. i am here in qatar and i registered here last may, i decided to renew may contract which will be finished this coming january because of my application in this agency, at least i will not be able to apply in Philippines when i go home. i need to be optimistic, we must be optimistic too, , , , we'll just see, , , , i will be opening this site more often to keep updated on you guys, , , , , thanks a lotttt
