[size=10pt]Beware of fraud/false call.[/size]
people are making calls to you identifying themselves as Canadian Immigration Officers. Unfortunately this looks to be a misrepresentation and the people calling are trying to collect personal information.
1) CIC will never call you. If they want to communicate with you, then they do through e-Mail or ordinary post.
2) CIC never ask for money through call/telephone.
3) http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/protection/fraud/report.asp
3) Personal suggestion also,
don't share your confidential information on What's up group.
Please ensure you do not provide anyone over the phone or via email any confidential information, including, but not limited to, your
banking details and any details about your immigration status in Canada.
