Attention Canadian citizens and permanent residents – beware of marriage fraud! It’s a crime for you and a foreign applicant to set up what’s known as a “marriage of convenience” to allow your sponsored spouse or common-law partner to immigrate to Canada. Immigration officers know how to detect false marriages, and there are serious consequences for this type of fraud, including criminal charges. Avoid scams and learn the rules for sponsoring a spouse: https://t.co/fb3paiDqGs

Attention #Newcomers and #InternationalStudents — protect yourself from immigration fraud.

When you are new to Canada, you may not know how companies or the government usually do business here.

You need to know that IRCC takes many steps to protect the privacy of your information. We will never contact you by telephone to confirm basic personal information you have already provided on a form or to collect fees or fines and say it's to avoid deportation or other consequences.

If you receive a suspicious telephone call, hang up immediately and
• call your local police if you lose money
• report the incident to the @canantifraud

Learn about common scams and what to do if you are targeted: https://t.co/wJVeM8TZEY
