"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

OBJECTIVES
The objectives of our establishment is to achieve a smooth supply and demand of human resources and a balanced development of the national economy by systematically introducing and managing foreign workers.

The term "foreign worker" in this Act refers to a person who does not have a Canadian nationality and works or intends to work in business or workplace located in Canada with the purpose of earning wages: provided, that among foreigners who are granted the status of work permits eligible for employment pursuant to Article 18 of the Immigration Control Act.

Temporary Workers:

Canada's policy on foreign workers permits employers to recruit foreigners needed for the Canadian labour market. At the same time, it ensures that employers have considered Canadian citizens and permanent residents and that the entry of foreign workers will not adversely affect employment or career opportunities for Canadian citizens and permanent residents.

Employment Authorization: Every person, other than a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, who seeks to come to Canada for the purpose of engaging in employment, must obtain employment authorization.

The process of obtaining an employment authorization requires two steps: Submitting an application for validation of an offer of employment to a Canadian Employment Center; Submission of an application for the necessary work permit required to work in Canada.

Definition of Employment:

"Employment" means any activity for which a person receives or might reasonably be expected to receive valuable consideration. Therefore, some activities may constitute employment even if the person performing the activity is not receiving financial compensation for the work or services involved.

Employment Authorization Exemptions Regulation 19(1) allows certain persons to be employment authorization exempt. These individuals may enter Canada to work, or to carry on business or trade-related activities without the need to hold an employment authorization. These persons enter Canada to take up duties, which are not related to the labor market.

They generally have occupations where international freedom of movement is deemed to be crucial, or they may represent a foreign company or organization, which is not considered to compete with Canadian workers. The reasons that motivate their admission are either political, religious and/or trade/oriented.

Employment Validation

Canada strives to protect employment opportunities for foreign workers through a process of validation of offers from employment centers as a labor market process which determines that the employment of a foreign worker will not have an adverse effect on employment opportunities for Canadian citizens and permanent residents. It is normally accepted by visa and immigration officers as the basis to approve the issuance of an employment authorization, provided the foreign worker meets the qualifications needed for the job and the general requirements of the Immigration Act.

Employment Validation Exemptions:

Regulation 20(5) recognizes that foreign workers need to be admitted for factors other than strict labor market consideration, such as to meet economic, cultural, social and humanitarian objectives.

Validity Periods: In general, the longer the duration of temporary stay, the greater the onus will be on the individual to provide evidence of temporary purpose at the time an application for an employment authorization or extension is made. Circumstances to be considered include: Whether or not the temporary purpose can be defined clearly in terms of the activities being performed and the duration of stay. Whether or not another temporary purpose is identified after the original purpose for entry has been achieved; and whether or not the employment is being used to circumvent procedures applicable to permanent employment (permanent validation) or permanent residence.

There are certain limits on the duration of employment authorizations. Briefly stated, authorizations may be issued for up to three years, except when limited by other pre-determined time frames, one year in the case of prescribed group of persons various time frames depending on certain circumstances surrounding refugee claims.

Medical Requirements:
