Immigration Fraud Alert – Don’t be a victim
A note of caution to all International candidates. Innocent people from the Philippines, China, India, and several other countries have already been duped by ghost consultants. They send large sums of money, and forward their passport, and receive a fake visa stamp in return.
Please be alert! If you are emailing or calling someone who identifies themselves as us, using an address, phone number, email or website different than that of our offices in Toronto Canada, asking you to wire them money via Western Union, you are about to be the victim of an immigration fraud scheme.
Do not be fooled by advertise that quote you low fees that are too good to be true. They are often illegal agents that are not authorized to represent you to IRCC, and the quality of their service is so low, you will discover they tell you qualify when you don’t, and then discover they are out of business when you contact them again for help.
Alert: Beware of Immigration Fraud – fraudulent job offers for sale by ‘Ghost’ unregulated consultants
Immigration Fraud Alert related to Work Permits and Job Offers:
Please note that if you are interested in getting a Work Permit, job finding services or job offers, proceed with caution! This is the area of immigration where the highest incident of fraud happens worldwide; specially in India. Dishonest agents sell fake job offer letters, and tell you can now immigrate with this worthless letter.
You cannot get a Work Permit without two prerequisites: you need first to have a job offer from a Canadian employer, and the employer needs to apply to Service Canada (ESDC) to get an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) a long complex (and fairly costly) process where they must offer a competitive wage, and have advertised for more than one month in a prescribed way, and make an application for the LMIA to prove they cannot find a Canadian for the job.
This usually requires that you have met the employer, and gained their trust first. The chance of getting a job offer and LMIA granted from an employer that you have never met is not very high. We are an immigration service, and can help you get the LMIA, work permit, and permanent residence, but we do not find you the employer or a job offer. Beware of immigration firms that say they can find you employment and get you a Work Permit (and the LMIA) – there is an extremely high degree of fraud in this area of immigration practice, and you may be taken advantage of and lose all your money. You have been forewarned!
Be careful. Literally all of the people who do this are not RCIC’s – regulated consultants who are authorized to represent you.
