March is IRCC’s Fraud Prevention Month
01 Mar 2023三月是 IRCC 的防欺诈月 IRCC 将三月用于提高人们对针对新移民的移民欺诈和诈骗的认识。 March is IRCC’s Fraud Prevention Month IRCC dedicates the month of March to raise awareness about immigration fraud and scams directed at newcomers.
每年 3 月,加拿大移民、难民和公民部 (IRCC) 都会参加加拿大政府的欺诈保护月,以阐明加拿大新移民所经历的欺诈以及他们如何保护自己。 Every year in March, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) participates in the Canadian government’s Fraud Protection Month to shed light on the fraud experienced by newcomers to Canada and how they can protect themselves.
加拿大的移民程序可能复杂而艰巨。许多准移民会聘请专业人员在整个过程中提供支持。不幸的是,有些居心叵测的个人和无证顾问利用外国人缺乏经验来谋取私利。 Canada’s immigration process can be complex and daunting. Many prospective immigrants hire a professional for support throughout the process. Unfortunately, there are ill-intentioned individuals and unlicensed consultants who exploit foreigners’ inexperience for their own gain.
成功移民加拿大后,新移民在找工作或找房子的过程中也可能容易受到骗子或不诚实者的攻击。可能会有保证在加拿大大学或学院学习的高薪工作或奖学金的广告。新来者应该意识到,其中许多优惠都是欺诈性的。 Upon successful immigration to Canada, newcomers may also be vulnerable to scammers or dishonest individuals during their job or housing search. There may be advertisements guaranteeing high paying jobs or scholarships to study at Canadian universities or colleges. Newcomers should be aware that many of these offers are fraudulent.
保护自己免受移民欺诈的最佳方法是了解情况并做好准备。一旦了解了诈骗或欺诈性通信的警告信号,新手将能够识别、避免和报告欺诈行为。 The best way to protect yourself from immigration fraud is to be informed and prepared. Once educated on the warning signs of a scam or fraudulent communication, a newcomer will be able to recognize, avoid and report fraud.
