Ищу помощь с иммиграционными документами? Остерегайтесь людей, ложно утверждающих “Иммиграционные консультанты.”

Правительство Канады недавно начало расстраивать мошенников, нацеленных на потенциальных иммигрантов.

По гражданства и иммиграции Канады, only the following people may charge a fee to represent or advise you on immigration and refugee matters with the Government of Canada:

• Immigration consultants who are members in good standing of the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants (CSIC)
• Адвокаты who are members in good standing of a Canadian provincial or territorial law society
• Нотариусы who are members in good standing of the Нотариальная палата Квебека

  The Government of Canada will not deal with non-authorized consultants who charge a fee for their service.

And a person or organization who does not charge a fee for their service may also represent you.

Но читать на, как правила могут быть изменения.

Here’s how to protect yourself against scammers:

• Проверьте с CSIC that your Immigration Consultant is a member in good standing.
• Проверьте с провинциального общества юристов in the province where you’re planning to immigrate to verify that your attorney is licensed.
• Для Квебеке, contact the Нотариальная палата Квебека to verify a notary.
• Ask for referrals. Don’t just pick a name out of a list.
• Visit their website. Значит ли это выглядеть профессионально?
• If someone asking for a fee says he/she is an agent for a Canadian law firm or for a licensed consultant, then contact the company or person in Canada to убедитесь, что утверждение верно.

Regulations have been proposed to replace the Canadian Society of Immigration Consultants with a new regulatory body. If this proposal is approved, иммиграционных консультантов Канады Совета по регулированию (ICCRC) would assume responsibility for overseeing immigration consultants. Так проверить с гражданстве и иммиграции Канады о внесении изменений в этой информации.
