Job Letter - Needing Urgent Help!

Apr 30, 2021

Hi, hope everyone is well.

I had a question regarding fake job letters. I am writing this on behalf of a friend in India, who is being offered a job at Sunrise Soya Foods in Vancouver, BC. The job is for food packing, and the application is through a consultant, who is demanding 38,000 Indian Rupees as a processing fee; the consultant is saying that if the application is processed, then a portion of that fee will be returned. My friend had applied through the consultant, and in a couple of days, "permission" letters were apparently generated - there was no interview process, nothing, just a permission letter being generated by the company.

The letter offers free food, accommodation, flight tickets, and the job is for 3 months. The job is also offering a PR after 10 months. The "company" is also saying that if the person wants a higher salary, then the upfront fees will be higher.

Could anybody guide me on whether this is genuine? I am concerned for this friend, who has paid the application costs and the extra fees, and has now been told to wait for the LMO. The procedure apparently will take place in 45 days, and they have even given a "guaranteed" date for the visa.

If anybody could please provide some advice on this, I would be very grateful. Has anybody else paid and been scammed, or had a similar experience to this?

Anything that offers free anything - food, airfare is fake. there is no way you can get PR after 10 months. Don't give any money or personal information like passport.

Hi - thanks so much for the help :)
I totally understand that, thank you. The strange thing is the consultants created a contract, stating things like your money can be refunded (but some terms were loosely worded). My friend has paid after falling into this trap, do you possibly know what will happen regarding the fees paid?

Even I thought the 10 month PR seemed too good to be true.

The only way to get the money back is to pursue through courts. Your Friend can lodge a police complaint but likely nothing will be done.
