A: Hello! Canadian Visa Expert is a private company that provides assistance with the Canadian visa application process. They are not affiliated with the government of Canada.

Regarding your questions:

1. Visa card information: Legitimate visa assistance companies should not ask for your credit card or banking details as part of the application process. The only payments you should make are the official government fees, which you pay directly to the government, not through a third party.

2. Movements on your credit card: A legitimate visa consultant will not make any unauthorized charges or purchases using your credit card. If you notice any suspicious activity, report it to your bank immediately.

Be cautious when dealing with visa assistance companies. Some red flags include:

- Guaranteeing visa approval

- Requesting payment to the company rather than to the government

- Asking for your credit card details or online banking login

- Offering to fabricate documents or provide false information

For the most reliable information, it's best to refer directly to the official Canadian government websites, such as Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC). If you do choose to use a visa consultant, make sure they are authorized by the Canadian government.

I hope this helps clarify things! Let me know if you have any other questions.
