I want to report Immigration fraud anonymously . I am senior citizen so don't want to take risk . Also , I cant see people who are taking advantage of system.

Any information will be helpful.

I don't have experience with this personally however I'd like to think that CIC would take it very seriously.

What you need to do is this: Call the CIC hotline, you can find their number on the website. Let them know that you would like to report fraud anonymously, and explain that you are a senior citizen and fear for your safety if these people find out who reported them. I would assume that no matter what (even without asking for anonymity), the person who you report will not know who reported them. If you are worried, make sure that you let CIC know to put a note on your file that under no circumstances should the people you report know who reported them.

CIC will open their own investigation and shouldn't need you to witness for anything - once they find the fraud themselves they won't need you to participate in order to proceed.

Please, please, please report these people! Don't be afraid. You do not need to give CIC your name if you don't wish. They are laughing in the face of our country's laws and should not be allowed to remain in the country. It is people like this who make the process so difficult for those of us who want to bring our families together in Canada legally.
 
"REPORT FRAUD TO THE CANADA BORDER SERVICES AGENCY


If you choose not to contact your MP, you can report fraud by telephone completely anonymously to the CBSA. Here are some directions to follow :

(1) Please phone 1-888-502-9060. This is the phone number for the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)—Border Watch. The office is located in Ottawa. It is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is the main federal agency that enforces Canada’s Immigration Act. (The CBSA does provide a rough address : Canada Border Services Agency, Ottawa, K1A OL8. You can send material to that address.)

(2) You will hear a voice message system. Press “1” for service in English. You will hear another voice message which will give you a number of choices. If you press “1”, you will get to speak to an agent. Please tell the agent what you want to report. If you prefer to leave a voice message, press “2”. If you want to FAX information to CBSA, use the following number : 1-613-948-4848.

(3) Give the agent as much specific information as possible on the individual or group. Remember that you do not have to say who you are. All information you give will be held confidential. According to the CBSA, the following are minimum requirements in the information you should give them: (a) the complete name(s) of the person or people committing the fraud; (b) the age or date of birth of the person; c) the kind of fraud the person has committed. Explain the latter very clearly and in as much detail as is necessary. Please try to provide other important information such as the country of birth, home address, work location, etc."

it will be impossible for anyone to tell you. generally, once it's reported it is in CIC's hands and they will decide what to do with the information. i'd imagine the more complaints about the same people, and the stronger the proof, the more of a chance there will be an investigation.
 
What office would you send a report of fraud to? Do you send it to the sponsor's country e.g. Canadian Immigration in Mississauga, or would you send to the Canadian Embassy in Turkey where the person being sponsored is?
