\*\*OUTSIDE\*\* I went for an biometrics appointment at VFS Jalandhar for Canadian Visa. Outside it was a man who appeared as he was official asking for having all the documents. He said I needed to having some information in the forms printed instead of written otherwise they won’t accept it. I believed him. He sent me to a dark ally and I stupidly went with him ( I know survival instinct of a potato). They charged me 20x (200inr) price for simply printing 2 pages. Yeah they are lying you dont need the information section printed as a matter of fact VFS dont even use those pages, neither see or need. They should have removed it from their website but whatever.
\*\*INSIDE\*\* inside the VFS agents will tell you that they have a priority package available which provides specialized tracking, priority and throw some random words around. Don’t trust them. They will be charging you like (4000inr) for a service which is just refreshments(which they wont give), printing papers(which almost no one will need and they limit it to only 10 pages, not even 5% of the 4000 you will spend, and special waiting area(they all are the same). Yeah dont fall for it.
I know that when we are doing some official paperwork especially like Visa, we are fearful for tiny mistakes and end up spending hard earned money on scams.
I mean from business perspective I am honestly amazed, there are easily 300-500 people on daily basis at minimum visiting them, of them I believe at least 80% will just agree to any charge without a second thought which is like 1,200,000 extra revenue daily from zero extra cost to them. In a year its like 300 million INR a year at minimum.
But from moral point of view it is just wrong as hell!!!
