Hello Guys,
I recently submitted my sponsorship application, but I didn't pay for the biometric fee. I just got an email saying that I need to pay the biometric fee to proceed with my application. I logged into my CIC account to check if I got any message, but I didn't.
I'm suspecting it is a fraud because as far as I know, CIC sends us messages through their website, right?
What do you guys think? How can I check whether it is a fraud or not?
