IRCC has Designated March as its Fraud Prevention Month!
Every year in March, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) participates in the Canadian Government’s Fraud Prevention Month to raise awareness about the fraud experienced by newcomers to Canada and how they can protect themselves. This initiative is part of the Canadian government's efforts to promote immigration services that are safe, ethical, and legal.
During Fraud Prevention Month, IRCC provides information and resources to help
Canadians and newcomers recognize and avoid common types of immigration fraud, such
as:
● False job offers,
● Fake immigration consultants, and
● Marriage fraud;
IRCC also works with its partners, including law enforcement agencies and community organizations, to investigate and prosecute those who engage in immigration fraud and related criminal activities. By raising awareness about immigration fraud and scams, IRCC aims to help Canadians and newcomers make informed decisions about immigration and to ensure that the immigration system is fair and transparent for everyone.
It is important to remember that IRCC will never email or call applicants to confirm basic information provided on application forms or ask for banking or credit card information by
email.
Here are some tips to keep in mind as an immigrant or newcomer to Canada:
● No one can guarantee you a job or a visa to Canada;
● Only immigration officers in Canada, and at Canadian embassies, high commissions
and consulates can decide to issue a visa;
● Processing fees for IRCC services are the same in Canada and around the world.
Fees in local currencies are based on official exchange rates;
● IRCC will ask you to pay fees for Canadian government services to the “Receiver
General for Canada”, unless stated difference on a Canadian visa office website;
● Be cautious of representatives charging a fee for supporting documents, like
a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA);
● IRCC will never collect money or payments by phone;
It is crucial for the immigrants to be careful when choosing an Immigration Consultant especially. Many immigration scams are taking place nowadays which deceive aspiring candidates making them lose valuable time and money. These fraud agencies have become increasingly creative and bold in their tactics and they have gone as far as to copy websites and social media platforms of reputed consultants. Differentiating between original and fake immigration consultants has become increasingly difficult.
You need to pay attention to details such as their email, the payment method they require,
their website etc. If the consultant is offering you false deals like guaranteed entry to a country along with a high-paying job and faster processing, be alert.
Depending on a fake immigration consultant to immigrate to a foreign country will cost you high! It can cost you money, peace of mind, your career, and even your future prospects of migrating to another country! Do proper research on the immigration consultant before choosing them.

Ministerial Instructions respecting invitations to apply for permanent residence under the Express Entry system #245– March 29, 2023
“Visitors to Canada can continue to apply for work permits without leaving”
The Canadian Government announced great news: Foreign nationals who are in Canada as visitors will be able to apply for and receive a work permit without having to leave the country.
This is an extension set by the federal government during the Covid era and it was due to expire in February 2023. Since then, Canada has faced a severe labor shortage which has affected businesses and the country's economy. For this reason, the federal government has decided to extend this temporary public policy in the hope that it will help Canadian employers who are struggling to fill positions due to the labor shortage.
From this point of view, international workers or students have a great opportunity to stay longer in Canada and live the Canadian dream. Also, even if you are just a tourist in Canada but feel at home in the land of many chances, you might decide to stay for an extended period of time.
It is important to clarify that the visitors applying under this public policy who held a work permit within the last 12 months will also continue to be able to request interim work authorization to begin working for their new employer more quickly. Prior to this temporary policy change, those applying to work in Canada would typically need to apply for their initial work permit before they came to Canada or they would need to leave the country to be issued their work permit. With this policy in place, leaving Canada isn't necessary.
To be eligible to apply and benefit from this temporary policy, you must meet some requirements. First of all, you need a valid visitor status in Canada at the moment of application. Secondly, you need a job offer that is supported by a labor market impact assessment (LMIA) or an LMIA-exempt offer of employment. And finally, meet all the admissibility criteria.
As a recognized and licensed immigration office, Rado Canada Visa is ready to provide you with additional details regarding your chance to determine your eligibility for this immigration program. In addition, we stand ready to help you through each stage of the procedure, from obtaining a tourist visa to extending your stay, in the hopes that you will soon be a citizen of our nation with many opportunities and benefits.
