- Author was charged $79 USD for a Canadian eVisa through a third-party site (evisatravel.org) instead of the official $7 CAD fee.
- The eVisa certificate received had several unprofessional elements, including a blurry Canadian flag and odd formatting.
- After realizing the mistake, the author applied through the official Canadian government website, which was cheaper and more professional.
- The author initiated a chargeback for the $79 USD fee and received a threatening email from the third-party site about potential blacklisting.
- Ignoring the threat, the author traveled to Canada without any issues, confirming the third-party's claim was a bluff.
