My processing has started - but it appears to be dubious...Please advise

[rahulsirf]

A letter with the heading Contract Letter . I received a scan copy of the letter with the ref number, Signature (Larry) and the amount of salary, holidays, etc. [Some one told me that it should come folded or at least a hard copy].

The date mentioned on the so called Employment Contract is 15/04/2012. And it is also mentioned that "Your starting date will be 18/04/2012". Within 3 days, how the complete process is possible.

The number given is +15144488337 (The farm number - Quebec). Please validate this number.

What should I do now? I have written to many offices in Canada, all told me it is illegal to divulge any information about a company.

Is there no office or authority from where we can check the genuineness of the documents received by us, the address and the number of the Company sent to us.

Hope some angel of God will guide me and save me from scam.

GOD BLESS YOU

Did you pay money or are you being asked to pay money for the work visa? If so, I would assume it's a scam.

I want to show you the scan of the Employment contract that I have received. But how do I attach a file here

I don't believe it is possible to attach files. You will have to retype the letter if you want us to see what it says.

However I don't think that seeing the contract is going to help anyone determine if this is a scam or not.

If you paid money for the work permit or are being asked to pay money - this is a sign of a scam. If you were never interviewed by the actual person you are going to be working for - this is another sign of a scam. If the work visa is being processed very quickly - again, another good sign that you're looking at a scam. If you can't find your employer online - once again, probably a scam.

As a general rule - if it seem too good to be true and things are going far easier than you expected - scam.
