The Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) warns international students and newcomers in Canada to be vigilant against rising fraud activities. IRCC emphasizes that they will never contact individuals by phone to confirm personal information provided on forms, collect fees or fines, or threaten deportation or other consequences. They caution against impostors posing as government officials and engaging in telephone scams. Additionally, individuals are advised to delete unsolicited emails, avoid giving personal information, and be cautious of computer virus and fake prize scams. Staying informed and following IRCC guidelines can help prevent immigration fraud.
