Beware of Recruitment Fraud

Beware, recruitment fraud is on the increase.

Canada is currently experiencing a labour shortage in some regions, and in many industries. As a result of this shortage, some Canadian companies are now recruiting from outside of Canada. This action is attracting thousands of job applications from individuals around the world who would love to work in Canada.

This scramble to work in Canada is also leading to an increase in recruitment fraud. As eager job applicants, some of you may be contacted by individuals or organizations pretending to offer employment opportunities in Canada, and requesting personal information or money in order to process, and/or speed up your application. All you can expect is to become another victim of fraud.

ImmigrantEmploymentGuide.com and the companies listed on this website do not ask for money or payments from applicants to secure a job, or towards travel expenses, visas or work permits. The recruitment policy at these companies is to meet in person with the candidate for an interview before any official job offer is made.

All e-mail correspondence relating to employment with these reputable companies will never be sent either from, or to, a free web-based e-mail account. If you receive an email that instructs you to send your application/resume to an email address other than a company's official or registered email address, treat it as a fraudulent employment offer and don't reply to it.

The links on ImmigrantEmploymentGuide.com will take you direct to a company's website. And, on each company's website will be clear instructions on where, or how to post your resume.

When you are desperate for a job, it's so easy for you to become a victim of fraud, because these job offers are so attractive, and so well written that it is very difficult to ignore them, or see them as fraud.
