Thanks @scylla, does this mean one has good chance for receiving job offer if the employer sends aptitude test as pre-employment requirement to a candidate ?
You still need to use common sense with any job offer especially if you are still outside Canada given scammers will try any which way to make their offer look convincing. What exactly is the job you have been offered, would you think it normal in home country for an aptitude test , have you been asked for passport copy, education document copies, what benefits if any, have had any form of interview or are you being told the aptitude test will decide if you get that far ?
Not really. It's just another method of getting a victim to engage with the scammers and invest time in the process. It means nothing regarding genuineness. The fact that you are thinking it might be genuine shows that it's an effective ploy.
I agree and am fully cautious but the email did came from the company domain and they have posted the job opening on various platforms too.
well they haven’t offered any position or offer letter yet. It seems a system generated email but it says they are interested in my profile and want me to take this aptitude + personality test as part of pre-employment formalities.
There are many company web sites that are fake. The companies don't actually exist. The web sites are created by scammers to make fake job offers look real.
If an aptitude test is sent as a pre-employment requirements, then it's most likely a scam in which case it's 100% guaranteed you'll get the job because they are trying to either steal your money or your identity.

Central Square is a legitimate company.
@21Goose, does thiis mean this might lead to a job offer ?
I know this pre-employment is just for further screening but any trends if this leads to a job offer ?No idea. Being interviewed for a job and not getting it is pretty common. You won't know till you have an actual offer. Not being a resident of the US/Canada will go against you, but perhaps you have some specialized skills/experience that will help overcome that.@21Goose, does thiis mean this might lead to a job offer ?
