Immigration fraud: what you need to know
National Bank of Canada offers advice on protecting yourself against immigration fraud. The guide explains common types of fraud targeting newcomers, such as immigration consultant scams.

Make sure you’re checking the credentials of your immigration consultant and report any suspicious activity to the proper credit agency.
