Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
The Canadian Visas and Immigration advice website www.ovcanada.com is not legitimate. The website looks authentic, but on the registration page, the security seal "TRUST ME, verified site" is a fake. This fake security seal was created to trick users of the website into believing the website has been verified by an authentic security website such as Geo-Trust.
This fake security seal is not clickable and was not generated by an authentic security website. This fake seal was generated by the same website using the internet programming JavaScript.
A website security seal should allow a website user to click on it, so that the user can be taken to a website to verify it. But this fake seal does not, and there is no way to determine who the owner of it is.
The website www.ovcanada.com should not be trusted and do not submit your personal or financial information on this bogus Canadian visas and immigration advice website.

Hi,I'm one of the victim of OVCanada, I found this website on my FB. After 1 weeks of my registration I received a call from Josef Samson Immigration Agent, He said I haven't finished the registration. After a long conversation he than ask for a payment of $249 euro fee for my submission, in short I deed make that payment after I make that payment he pass me to the immigration department lady Ms Grace(Gem Collin) and than she repeat the same question what Josef ask me, after our conversation she ask me to pay another $199 euro for my Language test programmed. I paid it so that my application will be process fast. After a few days when I go to the Canadian Consult for verification they till me I am scam.....A lesson for this, do a research on the website before you make any commitment or better do your application straight to the embassy closer to you.I know I will not be able to collect my lost hope other will not do the same mistake I made.God Bless all...
Hi,I got called from a guy name JOHN DAY saying he will fastened my application and am just few steps away from the process, all I need to do is make a payment via phone, when I refused, he transferred me to his supervisor RACHEL Ray. She repeated the same thing and when I refused to make any sort of payment she just hang up on me... hahahah... tq god I found out they are scammers.
Hi, ovcanada is a scam. I am in the Bahamas talking to them on the phone and this is the new number 1289-768-0076, so if you guys see this number calling dont answer, they just want money, so dont send them none.
They called me today after applying online. Asked me for $600 US for processing. Nope don't have that money. Then I found this site. Thanks.
Hello guys, how can I get back my money? They took from me 500 euros, can you help me?
Hi, this is the new number that the ovcanada scammers are using now 1-289-768-0076.
Sorry, but we cannot help you get back your money. Please report it to the police.
Hello, I am Max. I live in Moscow, Russia. I started to registrate on website www.ovcanada.com. I haven't finished the registration because they requested money. Next day I had a call from somebody representing this website. It was a Moscow phone number 74956494884. After several questions about me and my family they insisted on giving them my credit card number to check. Of course I didn't do that. I hope this information will help others. Thank you for your job.
Wow, I was really excited about this because I was almost done...I would be the victim thanks for your help.
I received a call this morning from unknown number, but I did not answer and after that evening, I called them back and they told me that they are an internation corporation, which help people to apply and get accepted for Canadian Visas. They told me that they found my telephone No. from their website Ovcanada .Yes, I registered my information on their website before, but I did not pay and they asked me to start the process, but I told them that I am not ready now. So they told me when I am ready I should call them. I didn't because I searched and found that they are a scum website. This is their number : 19179798908
It is a fake website. Don't trust them. They are liar. Personally I lost 600 euros with them.
Any one knows,hoW to get the money back from this predators?ThxGyorgy
Hello everybody.Me too I have been contacted from this ovcanada and they still keep asking for my money without justification that I could really trust! Be careful.
Hello,I was naive to give to a some "Vallery" and his supervisor a some "Jessie Wite" my card credit number. Thanks to this blog an others I have found that OVCANADA and OVAUSTRALIA are scammers. They are the same thing: SCAMMERS.I want to know if the official Embassies of both countries know about this and if they could do something to alert people.And what about the police, they must put in jail to these SCAMMERS, or at least not allow these OVCANADA and OVAUSTRALIA web sites.
Just received a call from a David Grant -a supposedly `native english speaker´ with a Pakistani accent - who was very kind in helping me out with my application, until he asked for my credit card number which I declined. Then he transferred me to his supervisor, a Maria something, who basically repeated the same thing David had told me, but stressing the 'fact' that this was a legit company and that our conversation is secure - like if being told the same by a 'supervisor' would legitimize the call-After telling her - the exact same thing I had told David- that I would not make a 450 euro transfer over the phone and that I would want to look up and check them out, her tone changed and said that I should be 'more serious' about my intentions of working in Canada.. She EVEN said that they don't have intentions of luring me into this and that I'm the supposed interested person, not them! SCAM written all over it!
Hello, I'm from Algeria and I have received a lot of emails from the site OVCnada and a lawyer named Dave Rose called me many times and told me that they are a private organisation for the visa procedures and he asked me to complete the registration and payment via Visa Card.And I did not pay. Fortunately now, I knew they are a fraud corporation.Please give me legal sites or offices lawyers to complete the immigration procedures because I want to travel to Canada as soon as possible thanks a lot.
Go to the website mentioned in the article above.
Hello every one, the site called ovcanada is not real, so please avoid falling victim to them because they try to defraud me but thank God for my bank for their effort to help me get my money back..
How did you get your moneyback?
Let me ask, is the website www. OVCanada.com a legal company or only fraud corporation.
It is not a company. It is a fraudulent website created by scammers.
I got this email offering me a visa to immigrate to Canada, but as always,. I do my research to see if it's fake.. and it turned out that it is.. be careful people.
Yes, I was naive enough to fall in the scam Ovcanada! I even gave the complete information about my credit card! Unfortunately they charged the amount (nearly 500€) just two lousy minutes before I cancelled the credit card! And now all I have left is a debt to pay to the card's bank!
Contact your bank and dispute the charge. Tell you were ripped off by scammers.
