I have been seeking advice on immigrating to Canada and getting offers of free work permits, scholarships, high-paying jobs requiring little experience, free airfare, etc. Are these offers real or are they scams?
• I am an internationally trained individual and have applied for a job in Canada. The employer is now asking me for money to pay the fees for my work permit application. What should I do? Normally, you pay the required fees to the visa office that is processing your application. Please check the fee schedule for citizenship and immigration services for details. Employers may occasionally pay the fees for the visa and work permit of a future employee. Visit CIC’s section on Working Temporarily in Canada to learn more about the procedure to obtain a work permit.
