GOING TO PARLIAMENT TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC
Cobus Kriek, the Owner of Matrixvisa Inc, was invited by the ‘Canadian Parliamentary Standing Committee on Citizenship and Immigration’ to appear before the committee on 5 April 2017. He will be providing an opinion about the role of oversight bodies in regulating and providing adequate oversight of regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants.
Matrixvisa receives dozens of complaints about so called “Ghost agents” or unregulated agents in South Africa and Canada every year. Last year we reported some of these individuals to the Canadian Federal Prosecution Service. We hope that our contribution to the committee will further assist to protect the public from unscrupulous immigration agents.
Our contribution to the Committee will be made available on our website after we make the presentation.
VISIT TO NAMIBIA & SOUTH AFRICA – MAY 2017
We are pleased to announce that Matrixvisa will be visiting Namibia for the first time on our next trip to South Africa in May 2017.
Thank you to those …
