Something to share regarding Telephone Scam alert:.

Recent experience based on a person applied for PR under CEC (CPC-Ottawa is VO)
Here is notice from CIC regarding Telephone Scam Alert dated March 11, 2015.

"March 11, 2015 — Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) is warning individuals of fraudulent telephone calls in which the caller identifies themselves as a CIC officer calling to collect additional personal information or asking that a fine be paid to avoid deportation.

Be aware: CIC does not contact individuals for the purpose of collecting fines or personal information to avoid deportation and NEVER asks the public to make a payment over the telephone.

Anyone who receives a suspicious call should hang up immediately and contact their local police, and report the incident to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 or through their website or by email.

CIC provides tips on its website on how to avoid becoming a victim of fraud. For more information, see: Internet, Email and Telephone Scams, How to protect yourself."

A simple thing, CIC agent will never ask you to pay any kind of money via phone for any other thing. Application fee & RPRF is the only fee you have to pay to CIC and nothing else. If even they insist that they are real then, and if you are not sure what to do tell them that to send communication via email. Do not pay a single penny based on verbal conversation.

How unfortunate for the persons it happened to. What scares me is that the scammer obviously had some information on the applicants. I wonder how that happened?

Hello,

As you all know, I have received a PPR(Ready for visa) email from CIC ottawa office Tuesday night.

And in that email, it was clearly mentioned to inform them about country of residence change of you or your family member(below note from PPR Email. Since my daughter is staying in india, We have sent out email to them to arrange her visa stamping in Delhi office.

We also called CIC agent and they have told us first mail our passport to visa office along with the letter intimating about my daughter and get it stamp. Once we hear from CIC , then we can send our passport to new delhi visa office for stamping.

so we are mailing the passport today.. are we doing the right thing?

Kindly share some thought about this

Thanks,
Snowboy
