There's nothing as disheartening as finding out that the Canadian Job you just got is nothing but a scam!
Let's be real…
One of the best ways to relocate to Canada is by getting a Canadian Job and using that fact to obtain a Work Visa.
A lot of people are aware of this opportunity but…
A lot of fraudsters are also aware of this opportunity!
Till date, I have met nothing less than 25 people who have been scammed of over $1,000 in their bid to secure a Canadian job and relocate to Canada.
This is why I am going to help you avoid all these Canadian Immigration Job Scams flying around!
One quick question,
If you lose $1,000 – $3,000 dollars, how will you feel?
“Not Good” is my guess. Let's ensure you don't lose money to scammers!
Here are six ways to detect that your Canadian job offer is a scam!
This is one of the first signs that you may be dealing with a fake employer.
Most legitimate businesses use emails with their domain names.
A few legitimate businesses may use free email providers like Gmail but that is very rare.
Legitimate businesses will typically use emails like hr@islandtower.com NOT islandtower@gmail.com
One of the notable signs that you probably are dealing with a scammer is their poor use of the English language.
Here's a message from a scammer who impersonated me some months ago
What legitimate company will speak like this?
This is another sign that you are dealing with a scam. The job offers are usually too good to be true!
A woman told me of how she was offered a job without submitting her CV or attending an interview.
A student told me of how he was given a “job” with a bi-weekly pay of $50,000….
$50,000!!!!
If you did not apply for a Job and you get a job offer, it is most likely a scam.
Most of these scammers reach out to you on their own and offer you a Job when you clearly did not apply for it.
Do not fall for it!!
You are not supposed to pay for anything when applying for a Job.
Some of these scammers ask you to pay for a “job offer”, others ask you to pay for “LMIA”, some even go as far as asking you to pay for a “Work Visa”
Unbelievable!
I am sure you get the drift already…
If anyone asks you to pay for a job, RUN!
Another way to detect that you are dealing with a scammer is when they ask you for very personal information.
Private information such as your exact home address, your bank verification number etc.
Never give out any information that isn't necessary to your Job search process.
