Canadian Immigration Officials Launch Campaign Against Unscrupulous Representatives

As part of ongoing efforts to protect the public from unethical and dishonest immigration representatives, Citizenship and Immigration Canada is launching a campaign to teach Canadians and potential immigrants how to protect themselves. “I’ve heard a lot of unsettling stories of how people have been taken in by dishonest immigration consultants or unethical representatives, such as labour, student or live-in care-giver recruiters,” says the Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism.

The government is presently in the process of meeting with victims and their families and conducting surveys in order to better understand the problem. The information collected will give the government a broad view of the scope of the problem and aid in their goals of preventing this kind of fraud.
