Keep a keen eye on red flags that may signal fraudulent activities.

• One crucial aspect is to be wary of promises that seem too good to be true; reputable immigration consultants or lawyers will never guarantee that you will secure a visa or work permit, as this decision rests solely with the IRCC.
• Additionally, note that the visa processing fee is exclusively paid through credit card on the official IRCC platform and differs from any fees associated with legal services.
• Another key indicator of potential fraud is unsolicited contact from consultants or lawyers offering visas or work permits; legitimate professionals will not reach out to you first.
• Always scrutinize the credentials of your legal representative and verify their communication channels, being cautious of emails from generic domains like @gmail.com or contacts initiated solely through social media. As a Canadim client, you will never be contacted by a Canadim representative unless you have previously submitted an online immigration assessment in our website (fill your free assessment here) or have subscribed to a Canadim newsletter.
