Protect Yourself from Immigration and Citizenship Scams
Your dream of coming to Canada is valuable — don’t let fraudsters take it away. Learn how to recognize the warning signs of scams and the steps to take if you’ve been targeted, so you can move forward with confidence.
Online, Email, and Phone Scams
Be aware of fake websites, suspicious emails, and fraudulent phone calls targeting people who want to move to Canada. These scams are designed to steal personal information, money, or even your identity. Always double-check the source before clicking a link, replying to a message, or sharing any details. If an offer sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
International Student Scams
Applying for a study permit should be a positive step toward your future, not a risk. Unfortunately, some scammers target international students with fake offers, fraudulent services, or requests for money. Protect yourself by verifying that schools are officially recognized, keeping your documents secure, and never paying fees to unverified sources. Staying alert will help you safeguard your education, finances, and future in Canada.
Marriage Fraud
When sponsoring a spouse for immigration, it’s important to follow the official rules and stay cautious of fraudulent marriage schemes. Scammers may use false relationships to gain permanent residence, putting your trust, finances, and immigration status at risk. Protect yourself by ensuring your relationship is genuine and by submitting only truthful, complete information to Canadian immigration authorities.
