How to know that the immigration consultant can be trusted?
Many people from other countries are interested in relocating to Canada. This has made you a target for online fraud, where people claim to be able to acquire you and your family a visa to Canada when they are actually simply taking your money.
Things can be
readily altered these days on the internet to make a website or page appear
official. As a result, you must exercise extreme caution while deciding whether
or not to engage in certain activities. Best
visa consultants are always certified and have in hand latest knowledge.
HOW TO SPOT A FAKE IMMIGRATION
CONSULTANT?
1.
Does not have a registered number with RCIC
Every Regulated
Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) or licensed immigration lawyer will have
a registration number and be in good standing with the Immigration Consultants
of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC). If you receive any kind of communication
from someone who claims to be a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant
(RCIC), the first thing you should do is ask for their registration number and
look it up on the IRCC website by putting in the number you were given. They
are not who they say they are if it doesn't match or if they don't send you a
phone number.
2.
Making fake promises
If someone claims
to be able to acquire you a Canadian work permit in two weeks, it should raise
some red flags. Typically, they will merely ask for your passport number and a
charge. This alone is insufficient to obtain a work permit. The following are
some of the other unrealistic claims made by phone immigration consultants:
a.
Guaranteed approval of your application
b.
Issuance of a Canadian passport
c.
Permanent residency in Canada with PR status.
3.
Scammers will use legitimate agencies to seem
reputable
Scammers will
claim to work for firms that employ licensed visa consultants. To appear more
legitimate, they will even use the names and contact information of authorized
immigration advisors. You'll have to do your homework once more and
double-check with the ICCRC that the name and details are correct. You'll find
that bogus consultant websites or pages don't work.
4.
Asks for some fake documents
If an immigration
consultant asks you to produce fake documents or alter your documents in such a
way that they are false in the hopes of securing your Canadian visa, this is a
clear indication that they are a fake consultant, as this is illegal and would
not be requested of you by a genuine visa consultant.
