National online survey launched as part of the campaign to help prevent scams and dishonest behaviour by immigration representatives

Ottawa, May 5, 2009 — Victims of immigration scams or unethical/dishonest behaviour by immigration representatives are invited to participate in an online survey to provide input into the Government of Canada’s efforts to prevent fraud and other wrongdoing.

The survey, available on the Citizenship and Immigration Canada website for the next two weeks, is part of a campaign to inform immigrants about how to protect themselves against false claims from dishonest immigration consultants or unethical representatives. The information collected will be used to improve warning messages to potential immigrants.

“I’ve heard a lot of unsettling stories of how people have been taken in by dishonest immigration consultants or unethical representatives, such as labour, student or live-in care-giver recruiters,” said Jason Kenney, Minister of Citizenship, Immigration and Multiculturalism.
