Immigration fraud cases can have serious repercussions on defrauders and their victims alike. Therefore, it is important to remain vigilant and informed of the various ways immigration fraud may be committed.
Unauthorized immigration representatives: It is critical to verify an immigration representative thoroughly before goind for their services. For Canadian immigration, an individual can be represented by either a licensed Canadian lawyer who must be a licensed member of the proper Bar Association or Law Society, or a consultant who is a member of the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC).
Illegitimate job offers: Securing a job offer from an employer in Canada can be beneficial when planning to immigrate to Canada. Many Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) streams require a job offer. A job offer is also advantageous to candidates in the federal Express Entry pool, who, depending on the job offer, may receive 50 or 200 points based on the Comprehensive Ranking System(CRS). Therefore, a qualifying job offer may improve a candidate’s potential of receiving an Invitation to Apply(ITA) and obtaining permanent resident status.
Fraudulent job offers: Potential immigrants who are eager to receive a job offer from a Canadian employer may fall prey to fraudulent job offers. By being vigilant and aware validity of a job offer can be verified.
• Do some research on the company, person who contacted you, website, online etc.
• Look at the email address of the person who was in contact with you. Reputable recruiters and employers will likely have corporate email addresses.
• Did the recruiter or employer ask for payment upfront? If someone is asking for a deposit, training fee, or money to cover costs such as work permit or visa fees, it may be a scam.
• Canadian companies very rarely hire without an interview, either in person or by phone. If you have only communicated by email with a potential employer who does not want to meet face-to-face or speak over the phone, it is likely a fraudulent offer.
