With the rise in immigration from India to Canada, many fraudsters have started playing with people's minds by offering fake promises to satisfy their greed for money. The rapid increase in such incidents has shaken the faith of naive people in immigration consultants. It has caused the professional consultants in the field to prove their innocence.
If you are visiting Canada for the first time, you should be aware of the scams targeted at newcomers. You should prepare yourself for any wrongdoings that may happen to you:
• Fake government officials: Scammers may dupe you by posing as government officials. They use scaring mechanisms to rob money from people. They will call you to tell you that you have done something wrong. And will cause panic by saying they will deport or punish you unless you pay the fees. If you confront such situations, keep in mind that:
1. IRCC never calls to collect fines or fees.
2. They do not threaten to harm you or your family members or send police.
3. They do not aggressively deport you.
4. Do not ask for personal information except for verification.
5. Do not prompt you to pay fees electronically.
• E-mail scams: You may get e-mails convincing you to send your personal information and bank account details. Beware of such links and e-mails and verify the sources before taking any action. Legal officials do not send such bulk e-mails to strangers.
• Employment offers: Many fraudsters constitute a network of ghost recruitment agencies and consultancy firms. These agencies call from different parts of the country and propose fake job opportunities in Canada. These scammers copy information from legitimate sources, so you are unable to verify their real identity. In this way, they convince people to pay funds for the immigration process and dupe you millions.
